Tim Allen and Wife Jane Hajduk Reveal Secret to Their Long-Lasting Marriage

Tim Allen, the beloved star of TV shows like ‘Home Improvement‘ and movies such as ‘The Santa Clause,’ has recently shared the secret to his nearly 20-year marriage to wife Jane Hajduk. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Cirque du Soleil KOOZA red carpet premiere in Santa Monica on October 24, the couple revealed that their new shared activity is stretching together.

Hajduk, 58, explained that they visit a stretch lab and then enjoy breakfast together. Allen, 71, humorously noted that the stretch classes have made a significant difference, saying, ‘I can actually stand up straight.’ Hajduk added that the activity ‘just feels like you’re doing something great for your body.’

Beyond their new fitness routine, the couple emphasized the importance of good communication and mutual friendship in their longstanding partnership. ‘We talk,’ Hajduk said, with Allen agreeing, ‘That’s right, we talk. We do. And we’re good buddies.’

Allen and Hajduk dated for five years before marrying in Grand Lake, Colorado, on October 7, 2006. The intimate outdoor ceremony was attended only by their family, including Allen’s daughter from his previous marriage, Katherine Dick. Allen was previously married to his college sweetheart, Laura Deibel, from 1984 to 1999.

The couple attended the Cirque du Soleil event with their 15-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, highlighting their strong family bond and commitment to maintaining a healthy and happy marriage.
