Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor made a striking appearance on the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards on September 14 in Los Angeles. The Night at the Museum star, nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Severance, arrived dressed in a timeless black suit, while Taylor stunned in a black off-the-shoulder gown accented with delicate jewelry and a matching clutch. The couple’s presence was one of the highlights at the event held at the Peacock Theater.
Severance Leads with Most Nominations Among This Year’s Shows
The evening held special significance for Stiller as Severance, where he serves as an executive producer, led the 77th Emmy Awards ceremony with a total of 27 nominations. This accomplishment positioned the show as a frontrunner during the prestigious event and underscored Stiller’s growing influence in television drama.
A Personal Journey of Separation and Reunion
At 59 years old, Ben Stiller’s attendance alongside Christine Taylor was especially poignant given their past separation. After separating in 2017 following 17 years of marriage, the couple reconciled after being apart for more than three years. The Covid pandemic played a role in bringing them back under the same roof, strengthening their bond once again.
Reflecting on their reunion, Stiller shared with The New York Times earlier this year,
“I think not that many people do come back together when they separate. There’s nothing like that when you come back. You have so much more appreciation for what you have, because we know we could not have it.” —Ben Stiller, Actor and Director
He further explained the nature of their break and eventual reunion, saying,
“When we separated, it was just having space to see what our relationship was, what my life felt like when we weren’t in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit,”
“It was like three or four years that we weren’t together, but we always were connected. In my mind, I never didn’t want us to be together.” —Ben Stiller, Actor and Director

The Importance of Shared Moments Amidst Award Season
