Ben Stiller and on-again wife Christine Taylor’s daughter Ella, 22, is the star of the French Open in Paris… after graduating from prestigious Juilliard

Ben Stiller seemed happy to be back with his wife Christine Taylor after a split seven years ago.

The Hollywood couple, who have starred together in several films such as Zoolander, were seen in the stands of the 2024 French Open at Roland Garros in Paris on Tuesday.

The highlight of the afternoon, however, was their 22-year-old daughter Ella Olivia Stiller, who recently graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City.

The aspiring actress wore a black tank top with a long round pendant necklace, hoop earrings and her blonde hair updo. She later added a blue denim jacket.

The three looked excited as they sat next to each other in the VIP section of the arena.

Ben wore a dark jacket over a black button-up shirt as he clapped in his VIP seat while flashing his wristband.

Taylor looked youthful with a spring tan and very blonde hair that was worn straight as she also dressed in a black top and jacket.

Her wedding rings were firmly in place as she added gold bracelets and earrings.

The family seemed excited to attend the tennis match together as they smiled at each other side by side.

The match was between Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Ben and Christine met while she was auditioning for the 1999 thriller, Heat Vision and Jack.

“My wife came to audition for the role of the sexy sheriff. She had been in the Brady Bunch movies and they pushed her against me. She came in and she was amazing,” he told the outlet.

The couple married in 2000 at a wedding in Hawaii. They welcomed their daughter Ella in 2002 and their son Quinlin three years later in 2005.

The couple has had the opportunity to appear in multiple projects together, such as Zoolander (2001) and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004).

In 2016, Ben recalled that he and Taylor started their relationship when they were “both in recovery.”

Eventually, they jumped in and “got married pretty quickly.”

‘I was single. I come from a long relationship with [actress] Jeanne Tripplehorn,” he told Parade. ‘Christine also came out of a relationship. We went on a date and we hit it off.’

Ben and Christine split in 2017 after 17 years of marriage. But they reunited in 2022.

In 2023, Taylor explained why she and Ben rekindled their marriage during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic after a five-year separation.

The actress made her comments on The Drew Barrymore Show.

Christine told her Wedding Singer castmate that she and Ben have put on a united front during the pandemic, along with their two children: Ella and 18-year-old Quinlin.

She explained, “We have always remained a family unit. So when the pandemic hit and we all had to figure out where to settle, we all ended up in our house with two teenagers and found our way back.

“We had so much time to talk, there were no other distractions… It just happened organically.”

Christine also talked about the beginning of their relationship, when she said she and Ben knew each other for six months, got engaged, married within a year and then… [daughter Ella] the following year.

“Family was always a priority, but I think Ben and I both started to grow in different directions. And when we made the decision to part ways, it wasn’t something we wanted to talk about publicly or take lightly.”

Of the time they broke up, Christine said they were “at an impasse of, ‘Let’s figure this out – what’s best in this chapter of our lives?’ That goes back three or four years. And [during] that time apart we got to know who we are.

“I think we have these growth spurts, even as adults. And we needed time to figure that out.”

In 2023, he happily confirmed the news of their reconciliation with Esquire.

“We broke up and got back together and we’re happy about that. It was really great for all of us,” he explained.

“Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic,” Ben further added to the release. He also briefly touched on his relationship with his wife.

“I think we respect the ways we’re similar and the ways we’re different. And I think when you accept that, you can really appreciate someone more because you’re not trying to make them change for you.”

This comes weeks after Ella received support from her parents as she graduated from the prestigious The Juilliard School in New York City.

Marking the milestone on Instagram, the 22-year-old recent graduate, who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, shared photos wearing her cap and gown as she celebrated with friends and family.

“YOU WOULD NOT STAY FOR AN HOUR IN THE ASYLUM (@juilliardschool) WHERE THEY RAISED ME (No, really),” she captioned the post, with a nod to Taylor Swift’s song Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? the Martyred Poets section.

She continued, “Yesterday I received my BFA in Acting from Juilliard. I couldn’t be happier that I finished, or prouder that I survived, or more grateful to my family for the continued support that got me there.”

‘I have a degree in pretending!!! Yay!!!’ concluded the Los Angeles resident.

For the occasion, she added green rhinestones around the brim of her graduation cap and wore a white and yellow patterned maxi dress.

Among the adorable snaps she posted from her big day, Ella added one of her laughing with her dad as they crossed the street together.

Another showed her beaming next to her brother, Quinn Stiller, 18, as she proudly held up her diploma.

In 2022, Ben admitted that Ella called him out because he wasn’t present enough in her life during her more formative younger years.

“She’s pretty clear about it, and sometimes it’s things I don’t want to hear. It’s hard to hear,” the Reality Bites star and director shared Esquire.

He added, “Because I wasn’t there in the way I saw my parents not being there. And I always thought: I’m not going to do that.’

Stiller continued, “But it was the thing that I was trying to navigate through my own desire to also fulfill the hopes and dreams that I had. And that doesn’t feel good, but it is important to acknowledge.’

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ben and his wife reconciled after the former couple agreed it was best that they live together during the 2020 quarantine.

“Over time it evolved,” the actor and comedian said, adding, “We got separated and got back together and we’re happy about that. It was really great for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic.”
