Jack Black and his wife have a baby boy


Jack Black, 38, and his wife Tanya Hayden, 37, welcomed their second child into the world last Friday, reports the National Enquirer. The newborn weighed 6 pounds at birth and has yet to have an official name. He will join the couple’s other son, two year old Samuel.

When Jack confirmed his wife’s pregnancy at the premiere of Be Kind, Rewind in early January, he quipped “I’ve been told that two children is three times as hard as one,” and said that his parenting style is “day-by-day.”

My husband keeps telling me that two kids are easier than one, but he’s trying to convince me and I doubt he truly believes it.

Congratulations to Jack and Tanya and best wishes to their family. It seems like very good timing for them, because Black had just wrapped up promotion for Kung Fu Panda at Cannes the week before. The animated film premieres in the US on June 6.

Jack Black and his wife Tanya Hayden are shown on 4/30/08 at the Iron Man premiere, thanks to WENN.

    In the beginning, two kids are slightly difficult, depending on the age of the first one. My daughter is 3 and my son is almost 2 (tues!), so they are about a year and a half apart. I must say, it is nice to have a friend around, so mommy can at least pee alone. Plus, if it has been a hard day, we can split everyone up and have some one on one time. Now, three kids, not even going to go there!! πŸ˜› Anyway, it’s just the way it is in our household…it works for us! 8)

    Congrats to the Black family!

    > BC – I thought that too – although a more cheerful and msiley Lily Allen πŸ™‚

    It;s been a while since I saw a picture of a ‘celebrity’ couple that looked so absolutely right for each other… and happy! (Brangelina, take note *heh*)

    Congrats to them both πŸ™‚ I’m all for good news today *lol*

    I wonder what they’ll call him but I think Samuel for their first son is a great name and hopefully they won’t go crazy the second time around and call him Moses. Or Phinnaeus. Or Kingston. Or Brooklyn. Or Cruz.

    Anyway, best wishes to the happy family πŸ™‚

    She does doesn’t she??

    Aww congrats to both of them πŸ˜€

    I love me Jack Black I does!

    Anna, I don’t think Moses is that horrible a name; and I’m a fan of honest-to-goodness non-fussy monikers.

    I’m not sure if the Hebrew version (Moshe) is very common, the only other example I can think of the the former Israeli Minister for Defence, Moshe Dayan. Mind you, I actually prefer it to Moses.

    Actually, I’m willing to bet he’d be a good dad. And c’mon, how cool would it be to be Jack Black’s kid?
