There's nothing quite like the bond between a dad and his daughter, and Ben Stiller recently showcased that special connection in a big way. The actor walked the red carpet at the New York Film Festival for the premiere of his new movie, The Meyerowitz Stories, and he didn’t come alone. He brought along his 15-year-old daughter, Ella Olivia, and let me tell you, the two of them were absolutely glowing. Ella turned heads in an emerald green cocktail dress paired with a gold clutch and simple, elegant jewelry. She looked like she was having the time of her life.
It was impossible not to notice the happiness radiating from Ben and Ella as they posed for photos on the red carpet. You could just feel the love and joy in those moments. Watching them together reminded me how strong their relationship is, even after Ben’s split from Ella’s mom, Christine Taylor. It’s truly heartwarming to see that their family dynamic remains so close-knit. If you want to see some of the cutest photos from the event, check out the video below—it’s worth a watch!
Ben and Christine announced their separation earlier this year after being married for nearly two decades. The couple tied the knot back in May 2000, and together they have two children: Ella and their son, Quinlin Dempsey, who’s 11 years old. In a joint statement to Entertainment Tonight, they shared their decision with grace and respect. “With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate,” they said. “Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends. We kindly ask that the media respect our privacy at this time.”

Family First: Staying Close Through Life’s Changes
It’s not always easy when families go through changes, but Ben and Christine seem determined to keep their focus where it matters most—their kids. Later, sources revealed that their different priorities might have played a role in their decision to part ways. “It gets hard—he has a very busy Hollywood career, and she’s been very focused on being a mom,” a source told People magazine. Despite this, they remain a loving family who respect each other deeply. It’s clear that both Ben and Christine are committed to ensuring their children feel loved and supported through everything.

A Celebration of Family Moments
What I admire most about Ben is how he’s making sure these important life moments aren’t missed by his kids. Bringing Ella to the premiere shows just how much he values family and cherishes these experiences with her. It’s moments like these that remind us why family should always come first. I hope we continue to see more of Ben’s children in the future—they’re clearly a big part of his life, and it’s beautiful to witness.
