19 october 2025 в 23:13
Ben Stiller has created an enduring legacy as one of the most outstanding actors in comedy — from his early successes in The Ben Stiller Show to blockbusters such as «Zoolander» and «Meet the Parents». At the age of 59, and now behind the scenes as a director and producer, he remains a beloved figure in Hollywood. Since 2000, Stiller has been married to actress Christine Taylor, and together they navigate parenthood with their two children, daughter Ella and son Quinlin.
At the 25th annual gala evening in support of the ALS project in New York in October 2023, he not only walked the red carpet — he emphasized his wife. «Christine is on the board of directors, so she has been doing real work for many years», - he told Page Six. «I'm the trophy husband. I ride on her coattails, of course. She has done so much and has been so devoted for so long».

Ben and Christine welcomed their daughter Ella in April 2002. The star of «Night at the Museum» and his daughter caught the public’s attention when she was her father’s partner at the 2022 Emmy Awards ceremony. She stunned in a plunging black dress when she attended the ceremony with her father. This is likely not the last awards ceremony she will attend with her father, as she has decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and become an actress.
Ella’s biography on Instagram shows that she is a student at the prestigious Juilliard Drama School. She has also appeared in several projects alongside her father. She made her film debut with a small voice role in the 2010 animated film «Megamind». She also appeared in «Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb» (2014) and «Hubie Halloween» (2020), according to IMDb. Considering that her parents are also actors, as well as her grandparents, it’s not surprising that she also wants to work in film. The star of «Tropic Thunder» said he is happy for his daughter in a 2019 interview on «Ellen». «She loves [acting], and she is very passionate about it, and she knows what she wants», - he said. «I just want to support her in any way I can».
In addition to acting, Ben also revealed that he taught Ella how to drive, but she taught him about Taylor Swift during their driving lessons in an August 2022 interview on «The Late Show». «What really helped her was if we just put on her favorite artist on the iPhone, and we just listened to Taylor Swift», - he said. «I was a fan, but now I’m a full-fledged Swiftie».
Three years after Ella, Ben and Christine welcomed their son Quinlin in July 2005. It is unclear whether Quinlin will follow the same path as his sister into the entertainment industry, but he has dabbled in acting, voicing characters in «Madagascar 2» and «Megamind» when he was a child. He recently appeared in the 2021 romantic comedy «Locked Down», - according to IMDb. In addition to acting, Quinlin is passionate about basketball, as Ben mentioned in the above-mentioned interview on «Ellen». It was revealed that his son suffered a knee injury from playing basketball in February 2022 in Ben’s profile in «Esquire».
Although Quinlin rarely appears at public events, he accompanied his mom and dad to the 25th gala evening in support of the ALS project in October 2023
