Ben Stiller Divorce Over Secret Phone Calls

Ben Stiller's shock divorce from his actress wife Christine Taylor was fueled by health concerns and his "mentoring" of a younger woman, say top sources!

RadarOnline.com has the shocking claims by insiders that Ben "was to blame for the marriage breaking up" as he became a neurotic mess after surviving cancer — and refusing to quit talking to a younger actress at his wife's request. The surprising announcement about the end of the couple's marriage came just seven months after Ben revealed his secret cancer battle!

“He’s become a hypochondriac,” a source told Radar, “and every few months swears the cancer is back. He drove his wife crazy with all his constant complaining and erratic behavior. Christine had no choice but to pull back.” But his wife was also reportedly facing another challenge to her marriage from another woman!

An insider told Radar that Ben had developed a “mid-life infatuation” with a younger actress that he'd met on a film set, and that “the couple fought constantly about it, especially in recent months” — with Christine “going ballistic” after reportedly catching her husband on his cell phone “in covert conversations at all times of day and night!”
