Jason Bateman has provided insight into the current dynamic between him and his sister, Justine Bateman.
In a new interview with Esquirehe said that he and “don’t see each other that much” these days.
“There’s not the typical ‘We see each other every Thanksgiving or every Christmas and our kids want to be together,'” revealed Jason, who shares two children with wife Amanda Anka. “There isn’t. … In a great way.”
“Our conversations are the rich conversations you would have with an adult friend, not the kind of petulant back-and-forth conversations you might have with your adult brother or sister,” he said.
“We hang out, and we’re nice to each other because we respect each other as individuals, regardless of the blood thing,” he explained.
“I’ll see her for lunch next week,” said the Ozark star revealed.
Jason previously addressed his relationship with his sister WTF with Marc Maron podcasting from 2015.
“Well, let’s earn the relationship that adults should or could have,” he explained at the time. “You’re not handcuffed because of the blood. You have to earn it.’
The Black rabbit Star’s update comes after his sister went to X to dispel rumors that they are distant or estranged.
“Anyone who brings up my brother to me for any reason other than to say you like his new upcoming show or any other work from his past will be muted at best and blocked at worst,” she tweeted in September.
“I’m not interested in your fantasy about a supposed conflict between the two of us over our political ideologies. Seriously, it’s sick,” she fired back. “So keep up the good work. It makes it easy for me to identify yourself so I can adjust an X setting so I never have to hear from you again.”
