Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor were seen sitting side by side during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California on Thursday.
The 56-year-old performer and his wife, 50, appeared to be enjoying each other’s company while watching the tennis matches and cheering on the players present at the sporting event.
The pair’s outing comes just a month after the actor revealed that he and his spouse had officially reconciled after an extended period of estrangement.

Stiller kept it casual in a blue polo shirt, while Taylor opted for a patterned and sleeved maroon blouse for the event.
The couple initially met while working on an unaired pilot entitled Heat Vision and Jack in 1999.
The pair moved quickly with their relationship and eventually tied the knot during a wedding ceremony that was held the following year.
The two went on to welcome a daughter named Ella, aged 19, and they added a son named Quinlin, aged 16, to their family in 2005.

Stiller and Taylor also appeared together in several movies released over the course of their marriage, including Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Zoolander and Tropic Thunder.
However, the pair announced that they had separated in 2017 and provided a statement to Entertainment Tonight where they noted that they would stay close for the sake of their kids.
‘Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends,’ they said.
Stiller later decided to move back in with Taylor at the beginning of the global pandemic with the intention of maintaining a close relationship with their kids.

The Night At The Museum star added: ‘It’s been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic.’

The insider went on to note that Stiller’s professional commitments kept him from his family in many cases, although his connection to Taylor remained strong, even during their period of separation.
‘They were never estranged. Ben just had such a busy career for years. It drove them apart a bit. They didn’t spend much time together. But when they did, it was always obvious that they loved each other,’ they said.
