AceShowbiz - Jason Bateman and his wife of 24 years, Amanda Anka, enjoyed a glamorous night out at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party following their attendance at the 2026 Academy Awards.

The couple, who share two children, Francesca, 19, and Maple, 14, flashed big smiles as they posed on the red carpet alongside close friends Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly McNearney, as well as Will Arnett. The group’s cheerful camaraderie added warmth to the star-studded event.

Amanda Anka, 57, looked stunning in a strapless black sheer gown adorned with sparkling polka dots and striped embellishments. She styled her hair in loose, beachy waves that perfectly complemented the elegant dress. Meanwhile, Jason Bateman, also 57, sported a classic tuxedo and showcased a growing beard, adding a rugged touch to his polished look.

This memorable date night came shortly after Jason Bateman candidly reflected on the positive influence Amanda Anka has had on his life. He spoke about how she encouraged him to dial back his partying habits after he landed his leading role on Arrested Development back in 2003.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year, Bateman revealed, "Amanda and I definitely had a few negotiations about the point at which the [partying] spigot was going to completely turn off. She’d be like, ‘This drip, drip, drip is annoyingly unpredictable, Jason.’"

The actor, now sober, explained how their discussions evolved: "She didn’t demand that I completely absolve, but that was sort of the back-and-forth, and I was like, well, I feel like my [sobriety] ETA is six months away, but if I could land this plane now, it would alleviate a lot of the tension, so let’s just f--king do it."

Jason Bateman also shared that he was aware his party lifestyle would need to change once he became a father, especially if he wanted to sustain his career. He said, "I was conscious the whole time of wanting to get a lot of these boxes checked before I became a father, and a guy with a career that I not only wanted but had a feeling I might be able to get it if I just got the right job."

The Vanity Fair Oscars after-party was not only a celebration for Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka but also attracted a dazzling lineup of Hollywood’s elite. Stars from various fields turned out in show-stopping ensembles, making it one of the most talked-about nights of the year.
