Jack Black elopes
King Kong star 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, California, 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 jeweller Neil Lane.
Prior to his surprise nuptials, Black had been linked with writer and comic Laura Kightlinger since 1997.
