Jason Bateman makes a rare red carpet appearance with wife Amanda Anka at the premiere of his new show DTF St. Louis

Jason Bateman made a rare red carpet appearance with his wife Amanda Anka as they attended the premiere of his new show DTF St. Louis in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The couple, who have been married since 2001 and share daughters Francesca, 19, and Maple, 14, looked in good spirits as they posed for photographers.

Former actress Amanda, 57, cut a glamorous figure in a burgundy sleeveless dress which she wore with matching open toe heels.

Jason, 57, looked dapper in a black blazer and trousers which he wore with a matching jumper.

Also in attendance at the premiere was his co-star Linda Cardellini who donned a black mini dress with a plunging neckline.

Stranger Things actor David Harbour, who also stars in the show, opted for a classic black suit and matching tie. 

Alicia Silverstone looked elegant in a brown blazer and trousers which she wore with a green lace top. 

DTF St. Louis tells the story of a love triangle betweeen three adults (Jason, Linda and David), with one of them ending up dead. 

Jason is known for his roles as Michael Bluth in Arrested Development and Marty Byrde in Ozark. 

He's won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award, and has been nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award. 

Throughout the 1990s, Bateman struggled with an addiction to alcohol and drugs; he stated in a 2009 interview: 'I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard.

'And I did that really well... it was like Risky Business for ten years.'

He got sober in 2004 with Amanda's encouragement. 

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: '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."'

At the time, Jason felt like his sobriety 'ETA was six months away' but, after some back and forth, he decided 'if I could land this plane now, it would alleviate a lot of the tension, so let's just f***ing do it.'

In fact, when the eighties teen idol originally met Amanda at an LA Kings game in 1988, she delayed dating him for an entire decade due to his hard-partying Hollywood lifestyle.

'I just wasn't into where he was at,' Anka told GQ in 2013.

'[Now] I can't get him off the couch to go to a party. This is a guy who wants to go get frozen yogurt and come home.'

And that hasn't changed as Jason's buddy Jimmy Kimmel told THR: 'He rarely makes it out past 10, and if he does, there's a lot of, "Oh great job, Grandpa. Congratulations."'
