Pandemic Time Rebuilt Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller’s Marriage

Christine Taylor says the COVID-19 pandemic saved her marriage to Ben Stiller after they split in 2017; being home with their kids during lockdown gave them time to work on their relationship with therapy, leading to rekindling their romance (Stiller confirmed in 2022) and they are now focused on co-parenting their two children, Ella (24) and Quinlin (20).

Ben Stiller's Knicks Tweet Sparks MAGA Backlash

Ben Stiller celebrated the Knicks’ win with a tweet that MAGA followers briefly read as a dig at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, triggering backlash. He later clarified there was no political intent and noted he was watching the game from a different room, even posting an emoji the next morning. The incident shows how quickly online context can distort celebrity posts when politics and sports collide, and while Stiller has commented on Trump-era issues in the past, this was a misread rather than a political statement.

Stiller’s 'Got it done' tweet sparks online storm after White House security scare

Ben Stiller posted the three-word line “Got it done” after the Knicks’ 114-98 win over the Hawks, but the timing amid a White House Correspondents’ Dinner security scare fueled a viral backlash. The incident involved a gunman at the Washington Hilton; no one was harmed, and Stiller’s post was not linked to the scare beyond timing. The episode highlights how online outrage can surge before audiences check context, with praise and criticism from figures like Nancy Mace and Richard Grenell as the debate unfolded.

Ben Stiller's Knicks Tweet Triggers Backlash Over Misread WHCA Dinner Shooting Link

Ben Stiller’s post praising the Knicks’ win was misread by some as a reaction to the WHCA Dinner shooting at the Washington Hilton, sparking a wave of backlash before a Community Note clarified the tweet referred to the Knicks game. The backlash drew reactions from figures like Rep. Nancy Mace and former Trump aide Richard Grenell, and the post went viral with millions of views before the record was set straight. Stiller did not publicly address the confusion and later posted about the Knicks again, while authorities pursued charges against the WHCA shooting suspect, Cole Allen.
