In May 2017, the couple released ajoint statement to PEOPLEannouncing their separation after 17 years of marriage.
Stiller and Taylor continued to support one another and their family in the public eye,attending events with their kids— daughterElla, 20, and son Quinlin, 17 — and, at one point, holding hands during an outing to see thePretty Womanmusicalin 2018.
The pair’sromantic relationshipwas rekindled after they decided it would be best if Stiller moved back in with Taylor and their two kids during the early days of the pandemic, as it would be the only way he’d be able to see their children during lockdown.
“Then, over the course of time, it evolved,” the actor toldEsquirein February. “We were separated and got back together and we’re happy about that.”
“It’s been really wonderful for all of us,” he continued. “Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic.”
