Tim Allen’s relationship with Jane Hajduk has grown over years without any need for adjustments. The Home Improvement star and his wife, who dated for five years before tying the knot in 2006, maintain a relatively low profile but frequently attend red-carpet events together, including the 2020 Golden Globe Awards and the 2022 Disney+ premiere of The Santa Clauses.
Allen, originally named Timothy Alan Dick, has two daughters: Katherine, from his first marriage to Laura Deibel, which lasted from 1984 until their divorce was finalized in 2003, and Elizabeth, whom he shares with Hajduk and welcomed in 2009.
Over the years, Allen has opened up about his blended family, such as Katherine attending her sister’s birth, and how much he enjoys traveling with his family. When not acting alongside Elizabeth in The Santa Clauses, Allen spends his time with Hajduk pursuing hobbies they both enjoy.
Starting her acting career in the ’90s, she appeared in Sex Crimes, later co-starring with Allen in Joe Somebody, The Shaggy Dog, and Zoom
In a 2019 interview with Parade, he humorously admitted, “I’m doing everything I said I’d never do! But theater and golf, that’s what we like to do.” So, who is Jane Hajduk? Here’s a closer look at her life and relationship with Allen.
Hajduk, born on Oct. 26, 1966, in Oil City, Pennsylvania, was also crowned Homecoming Queen at Oil City High School in 1984. The yearbook caption humorously captured the moment with, “Jane Hajduk is overwhelmed at being announced queen, while George ‘The Stud’ Gregory remains calm.”
As an actress, Hajduk began her career in the early 1990s with the film Sex Crimes. After meeting Allen, the two starred together in the 2001 film Joe Somebody, and they shared the screen again in The Shaggy Dog and Zoom in 2016.
Besides her film roles with Allen, Hajduk has appeared in TV shows like Benchmarks, Chicago Hope, NCIS, and Monk. She also voiced Sharon Carter in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game in 2005. Her most recent appearances were in two short films, Dirty Little Secret and Unintended, both released in 2018.
Allen and Hajduk wed on Oct. 7, 2006, in a private ceremony at Grand Lake, Colorado, just two hours from Denver, where Allen was born. The intimate outdoor wedding included only family, including Allen’s daughter Katherine.
In an October 2024 interview, Allen and Hajduk shared insights about their marriage, which has lasted nearly 20 years, attributing their solid bond to open communication. “We talk,” Hajduk said, with Allen adding, “That’s right, we talk. We do. And we’re good buddies.”
Their daughter Elizabeth was born in March 2009, an event Allen described as a “marvelous experience.” He expressed gratitude for being able to support Hajduk during the birth at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, saying, “I was the first one that got to look at [Elizabeth].” Allen credited Hajduk for managing the challenges of parenting a newborn, acknowledging her efforts while he maintained a busy schedule.
Hajduk, who described Allen as “an incredible dad,” has also noted Allen’s growing ease in parenting. Shortly after Elizabeth’s birth, Allen admitted he didn’t feel he had fatherhood “down at all!” but later expressed that he enjoyed it more the second time around, feeling less anxious than he had with Katherine.
Beyond her roles with Allen, Hajduk has guest-starred on shows like NCIS, Chicago Hope, and voiced Sharon Carter in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game
Though Elizabeth seldom appeared at celebrity events as a child, she joined her family at the Toy Story 4 premiere in 2019. She later joined her parents in the family business, playing Scott Calvin’s daughter, Sandra, in The Santa Clauses. Elizabeth’s audition was a surprise to Allen, who initially only wanted her to make a small cameo.
Hajduk has been a regular presence by Allen’s side on red carpets for almost 20 years, beginning with the 13th Annual Cool Comedy-Hot Cuisine Benefit in 2004. She’s since accompanied him to many of his film premieres and events, including multiple Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar viewing parties.
Allen has shared their love for travel on shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live, recounting a global search to trace his family heritage. They traveled to Ireland, Germany, and Scotland in pursuit of their roots. For one of Hajduk’s milestone birthdays, the family embarked on an RV trip, a vehicle Allen customized specifically for the occasion, though he admits to preferring their boat.
During a 2022 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Allen described himself and Hajduk as “neat nicks,” noting their shared meticulousness about home decor. This even sparked some light-hearted disagreements over rearranged items, with Allen humorously recalling their “passive-aggressive fighting” over slight changes in decor placement.
Holiday celebrations hold special meaning for the family, with Allen, Hajduk, and Elizabeth embracing Christmas traditions. Hajduk revealed that the family starts listening to Christmas music right after Thanksgiving, a longstanding ritual that brings festive joy into their lives.
