An Insight Into Jack And Tanya’s Relationship
Black and Haden first met when they were teenagers at Crossroads School, a high school for performing arts and science. But Black was too afraid to ask her out at the time. According to the Irish Examiner, Black told The Sun about it for a “What I Wish I’d Known at 18” piece.
“I wish I’d had more courage to ask out Tanya Haden, who eventually became my wife. We met at school when we were 18. I wasted 15 years waiting for my chance,” he told The Sun.
“She was everything I could ask for. She’s talented, beautiful, and a great performer on stage. She was part of a group called The Haden Triplets. We first worked together on a student film, but we didn’t date,” Black added.

When it comes to family and kids, the couple has two children together. Tanya had their first child, a boy named Samuel Jason Black, in June 2006. This was not long after they got married. Thomas David Black, their second child, was born in May 2008.
