Christine also touched on the beginning of their relationship as she said that she and Ben 'knew each other six months, got engaged, were married within a year, then had [daughter Ella] the next year.
'Family was always a priority, but I think Ben and I both started to grow in different directions. And when we made the decision to separate, it was not something we wanted to talk publicly about or took lightly.'
The Meet The Parents actor and The Wedding Singer star seem to be back on track following a five year separation.
The pair announced they were separating in May 2017 after 17 years of marriage but officially revealed they were back together in February 2022 after reconciling during the pandemic.
Regarding the time that they separated Christine said they 'were at this impasse of, "Let's figure this out — what's best at this chapter in our lives?" That's going back three or four years. And [during] that time apart, we got to know who we are.
'I think we have these growth spurts, even as adults. And we needed time to figure that out.'
Christine and Ben proved their rekindled love is going strong four months ago as they posed for photos at opening night of the Broadway show The Old Man And The Pool in NYC back in November.
The couple first tied the knot in 2000 at a destination wedding in Hawaii, and they share two children together, daughter Ella, 20, and son, Quinlin, 17.
