Jason Bateman Shares Why He Doesn’t See Sister Justine Bateman Often
Jason Bateman said he and sister Justine respect each other as adults and have a friendship without frequent contact, planning a lunch meeting next week.
- On Monday, December 8, Jason Bateman told Esquire he and his older sister, Justine Bateman, “don’t see each other a ton” but share a respectful, adult friendship with rich conversations.
- Both siblings started young in Hollywood, with Justine Bateman debuting on Family Ties at 16 and Jason Bateman on Little House on the Prairie at 11, before Justine shifted to directing and writing while Jason continued acting and directing.
- He noted proximity and plans — Jason Bateman said Justine Bateman lives about a mile from his house and he’s scheduled to see her for lunch next week; both have two children and long-term partners.
- The interview clarified that the Esquire comments offered a rare update countering online assumptions of a feud, while Justine Bateman, actress/filmmaker, rejected imagined conflict on X.
- Professionally, both remain active: Jason Bateman stars in Zootopia 2, released late last month, while Justine Bateman, who publicly supported President Trump’s 2024 re‑election, continues directing and writing.
