Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor’s 22-year-old daughter Ella Stiller is gearing up for a stint on the Sex and the City spinoff series And Just Like That — and according to Kristin Davis, the young star was a “trooper” on set.
Davis, 60, praised Taylor, 53, for raising an “incredible” daughter during the Monday, March 17, episode of her “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast, but also teased Ella’s arc on the show.
“You have raised an incredible human, but also so incredibly talented. She is going to be on And Just Like That with us,” Davis said. “She was such a joy.”
Taylor called it a “dream job” for her daughter. “She got a chance to work with everybody,” the actress continued.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor’s 22-year-old daughter, Ella, used Taylor Swift lyrics to announce her college graduation. Ella, who attended The Juilliard School in New York City, celebrated the milestone on Friday, May 24, writing via Instagram, “YOU WOULDN’T LAST AN HOUR IN THE ASYLUM (@juilliardschool) WHERE THEY RAISED ME.” The social media post was […]
Davis was quick to tease Ella’s role as well.
“Let me tell you, we’re in a scene together where literally every person shows up and Ella was just such a trooper,” Davis said. “I’m not going to share any details. I don’t want to give anything away. But we really had fun and she’s just so funny and interesting.”
Taylor continued to gush over her daughter, explaining that it’s “crazy” to have an adult child.
“I also feel like sometimes she’s more grown up, more mature, more self-assured and self-aware than I still am,” Taylor said. “She grew up in a time and in a world as a young woman who has a different level of knowing who she is and what she wants and can articulate it and state it and be OK with that.”
Ella making an appearance on And Just Like That is a full circle moment, since Taylor auditioned for Sex and the City.

Just as Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte had their adventures, the cast of Sex and the City have been on what seems like a roller coaster since the show began in 1999. After running for six seasons, the HBO series wrapped in 2004. The costars went on to reprise their roles four years later: Sarah […]
“It would be really fun one day to have you and Ella on at the same time,” Davis said. “I want to do like a multi-generational conversation because I am so curious how [viewers] feel now.”
Taylor noted that she watched Sex and the City with her daughter before recording Davis’ podcast and recapping the “naked dress” episode — which is actually a season 1, episode 6, episode titled “Secret Sex.”
Ella is the eldest son of Taylor and Ben, 59, who wed in 2000. (The couple are also parents to 19-year-old son Quinn.) Aside from her forthcoming And Just Like That appearance, Ella is also set to make her off-Broadway debut in a new play Before This New Year later this month.
