Jason Bateman has opened up about his relationship with his sister, actress and filmmaker Justine Bateman, sharing a rare and honest update. In a recent interview with Esquire, the 56-year-old actor explained that while he and Justine care deeply about each other, they do not spend a lot of time together. Jason made it clear that their relationship is peaceful, mature, and built on mutual respect rather than obligation.

Jason said that he and Justine “don’t see each other a ton,” but they do meet up occasionally and enjoy spending time together. He explained that their bond does not follow the usual family routine of meeting every holiday or forcing family gatherings. Instead, their connection feels more like a friendship between adults. Jason described their conversations as deep and meaningful, rather than the typical arguments or emotional tension that sometimes happen between siblings.

The actor also stressed that there is no bad feeling between them. According to Jason, they treat each other kindly because they respect one another as individuals, not just because they are siblings. He even shared that he was planning to meet Justine for lunch soon, showing that their relationship, while not constant, is still warm and healthy.
Both Jason and Justine started acting at a young age and found success on their own paths. Justine became famous as a teenager on Family Ties, while Jason gained early attention on Little House on the Prairie. Over time, they built separate careers in Hollywood. Jason is currently busy with major projects like Disney’s Zootopia 2 and Netflix’s Black Rabbit, while Justine focuses more on filmmaking and writing.

Together, their words show a realistic but respectful sibling relationship based on understanding, space, and trust.
