Ben and Taylor’s oldest child, Ella, was born on April 9, 2002. Based on her Instagram, she’s currently studying drama at The Juilliard School.
Over the years, we’ve seen Ella basically grow up before our eyes, as she’s attended countless red carpet events with her famous parents. She most recently accompanied both her parents at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2023.
In a February 2022 interview with Esquire, Ben revealed that Ella previously called him out for not being as present as he should have been during her childhood because he was too busy working. “She’s pretty articulate about it, and sometimes it’s stuff that I don’t want to hear. It’s hard to hear,” he said. “Because it’s me not being there in the ways that I saw my parents not being there. And I had always thought, ‘Well, I won’t do that.’ But then it’s that thing that, like, I was trying to navigate my own desire to fulfill the hopes and dreams I had, too. And that doesn’t feel great, but it’s important to acknowledge.”
