Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor managed to rekindle their romance after more than five years apart thanks to spending time together "with no other distractions".
Christine, 51, said they "found this way back" to each other after moving in together at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The couple had been married for 17 years when their shock split was announced back in 2017, with Ben moving out of the family home.
Appearing on the Drew Barrymore Show, Christine explained: "But when the pandemic hit and we all had to figure out where to hunker down.
"We all ended up in our house together with two teenagers and we found this way back."
Ben had moved back in to the family home to be close to their two children — Ella, 20, and Quinlin, 17.
Christine said she was able to spend a lot of time with Ben which helped them to rekindle their romance.
She said: "We had so much time to talk, there were no other distractions, so it was a really special time for us, for the family. It just happened organically."
The actress added that things are "so good" now between her and Ben.
"I feel like when you've lived a lifetime with someone, and you know we have, and there’s history.
"We learned as we were going along, together.
"And I think there’s just a freedom in that, there’s a freedom in the comfort of this relationship and the commitment. And knowing that we also have to take care of ourselves," Christine said.
Ben previously opened up about their rekindled romance, saying "it evolved" after he moved back to the family home.
In an interview with Esquire last year, he said: "We were separated and got back together. We're happy about that. It's been really wonderful for all of us."
