It was really a super positive experience for both of us.”

My son loves fruit and doesn’t love veggies,” she said.

The siblings also have a different approach to fame.

Not as much is known about him, and he rarely attends red-carpet events with his famous family.

The actor stepped back from his work commitments to focus on being a father.

“I’ve made the difficult decision to withdraw from ‘Glengarry Glen Ross.’

“It would be solipsistic to think that my kids actually care about that.

They just want a parent who’s emotionally present and supportive of them.”

In the same chat, he discussed how his daughter took issue with his increased work commitments.

It’s hard to hear,” Stiller said.

“And I had always thought, ‘Well, I won’t do that,'” Stiller said.

But it happened anyway.

“It’s just part of it, like young people coming up or photographers and things like that.

And in 2019, he posted about his date again.

“So happy to be with my beautiful daughter @ella.stiller tonight at the #GoldenGlobes!!”

But not everyone is a fan, and his children can be candid about his work.

“Tough critic in a good way because he is very discerning,” he said.

“So it’s fun to watch movies and see what he likes and doesn’t like.

Although, he was not entirely sure it was because of him.

“I don’t think they’re any more connected to it because I’m in it.

I think they just like the movie,” he said.

However, Ella has given praise when she feels it’s deserved.Speaking to E!

“Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends.”

“They are a very loving family,“an insider told People.

In 2018, Taylor spoke to Us Weekly about how they were still spending time together.

“We’re a big family.

We’re together all the time,” she said.Stiller and Taylor’s split didn’t last, though.

“It’s been really wonderful for all of us.

Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic.”

Taylor also spoke about their family in an appearance on"The Drew Barrymore Show"in 2023.

She also discussed how they reconnected during the pandemic, which allowed them to spend more time together.

Stiller has also praised his wife, Christine Taylor, for her parenting.

Another thing that encourages family time is that they actually like each other.

“We like to hang out as a family,” Stiller told People in 2023.

“We just like to hang out.

We really do enjoy hanging out as a family.

Watching movies, playing silly tennis.”

Taylor also told People how they “play a lot of the game Celebrity.”

But even how they play the game revolves around their family.
