Jason Bateman opened up about where things currently stand with his sister, Justine Bateman, giving an unusual peek into their relationship. The Arrested Development actor, 56, said he and his fellow former child actor sister, 59, “don’t see each other a ton” nowadays. “There isn’t the typical ‘We see each other every Thanksgiving or every Christmas and our kids want to be together,’” he said, referencing his two daughters, Francesca and Maple, whom he shares with wife Amanda Anka, and Justine Bateman’s two children, Duke and Gianetta, with husband Mark Fluent. “There isn’t that… In a great way.” Although they don’t see each other often, he elaborated that everything is still good between them. “Our conversations are the rich conversations you would have with an adult friend, not the kind of petulant back-and-forth you might have with your adult sibling,” he said. “We hang out, and we’re nice to each other because we respect one another as individuals, regardless of the blood thing. I’m seeing her for lunch next week.” Jason Bateman’s rare comments on his relationship with his sister come three months after Justine Bateman, who has spoken out against “cancel culture” and said she felt relieved that Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, shut down online rumors of a sibling falling out. “I’m not interested in your fantasy about some imagined conflict between the two of us over your political ideologies. Really, it’s sick,” she wrote on X.
