Ben Stiller’s Parenting: From Red Carpet to Red Flags Since 2017
Ben Stiller, Hollywood’s lovable dad at 59, admits he flubbed fatherhood harder than his iconic parents Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, who were too busy lighting up stages to light up family dinners. Despite casting daughter Ella in 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,' he chopped her scene—because nothing says ‘dad goals’ like public dad discretion. Stiller and wife Christine Taylor’s 2017 breakup, which stretched to a 2020 reunion, put a "strain" on their kids Ella and Quinlin—a family drama more hit than any sitcom. Ben's parenting mantra: mess up, break up, get back, and maybe Netflix your own redemption story.
