**Ben Stiller Reflects on Separation from Christine Taylor in New Documentary**
Ben Stiller is opening up about his 2017 separation from wife Christine Taylor in his upcoming documentary, “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost.” The film, which premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 5th, explores the dynamics of Stiller’s parents’ (Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara) successful comedy partnership and marriage, drawing parallels to his own relationship with Taylor.
Stiller and Taylor, who married in 2000, worked together on several projects, including “Zoolander” and “Dodgeball,” similar to how his parents’ comedy act defined their relationship. The documentary explores the potential strain of intertwined personal and professional lives.
After nearly two decades of marriage, Stiller and Taylor announced their separation in 2017. “When we separated my feeling was like ‘Oh, I’m failing at this’ and look at my parents they have this incredible 50 plus year marriage and I can’t live up to that,” Stiller reveals in the film.
However, the couple rekindled their romance during the pandemic. The documentary shows the family navigating time together during lockdown, a period that allowed them to address their issues and reflect on the complexities of their relationship.
“Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost” screens in select theaters on October 17 and premieres on Apple TV+ on October 24.
