Jack Black Marries Tanya Haden, Daughter of Famous Jazz Bassist

Jack Black has eloped with his girlfriend Tanya Haden. The couple first met while they were attending a private performing arts high school in Santa Monica, Calif., but were not romantically involved. According to the bride's father, jazz bassist Charlie Haden, "They love each other very much. We're thrilled."

Haden, like her famous father, is a musician and played cello in the Haden Triplets with her sisters, Rachel and Peta, who are, in fact, triplets. The bride's sister, Peta, recently released the acclaimed a cappella cover album "The Who Sell Out."

The couple began dating when they bumped into each other last April at a mutual friend's birthday party where Black's two-man band Tenacious D was performing. Black says of the initial meeting, "Tanya was there. I got really nervous and I talked to her...and it's been great. I'm really crazy about her."

The actor reportedly proposed to Haden just after Christmas, presenting her with a $220,000 ring from celebrity jeweler Neil Lane. Prior to his surprise nuptials, Black had been linked with writer and comic Laura Kightlinger since 1997.

Wow, that's wild.

Maybe his next movie will be "School of Harmelodic Music".

Peta's Who Sell Out album was supposed to be very cool. I love Jack Black. Too bad they eloped, though; what a wedding band they could've put together!

Maybe Jack Black will be on the next Liberation Orch. record. Hehehehe.

[Lois Gilbert]

Yeah this is very cool.

I also didn't realize that Charlie had triplets.

How about the TenaciousD Liberation Orchestra?
