On May 14, 1994, Jeff married businesswoman, philanthropist, and producer Paige Brown Dunham and they divorced on May 5, 2010, after separating in 2009 with three children.

Two years after his divorce was finalized, he married Audrey Murdick, his girlfriend of three years, on October 12, 2012. She was born in Texas on August 29, 1980, and was interested in a healthy lifestyle when she was young.

In addition to her numerous talents, Audrey owns a fitness blog called "Audrey Dunham: Happy, Healthy Vegan Living … Simplified." She uses her blog to share simple and crave-worthy vegan recipes for a healthier lifestyle.

Besides food, her blog covers health-related topics, fitness, tips on strengthening relationships and marriages, and more. On her Instagram page, with over 50,000 followers, she shares her family life and more vegan treats.

Family life also led to Audrey's tips for "surviving" having twins. Following the birth of Jack Steven and James Jeffrey in 2015, Audrey realized parents with multiple children the same age faced unique challenges.

Some of her tips, specifically aimed at making it through the first year with your new multiple bundles of joy, include the importance of being organized, spending money on the right things, and ensuring you take time out for yourself to recharge.

"Whatever that small luxury is, be sure to do it for yourself every single day. Taking care of babies is a big and important job, but you need to take care of yourself, too," she wrote.

Jeff Dunham's Wedding with Audrey Murdick

Jeff and Audrey married in a traditional ceremony with a superhero twist in a 5 p.m. non-denominational Christian ceremony at the Sunstone Vineyards and Winery in Santa Ynez, California.

The couple who go to sleep laughing and wake up laughing had 112 guests for their big day. Their guests included writer and director Kelly Asbury, who served as Jeff's best man, designer Andy Smith, and more.

Audrey, a first-time bride, wore an Eve of Milady wedding dress and a pair of Vera Wang shoes. She held a purple bouquet that matched the boutonnière on Jeff's all-black Armani tux.

Walking down the aisle, the ventriloquist had his eldest daughter by his side. The couple's miniature pinscher, Roadie, walked down the aisle with their comedian buddy, Jeff Rothpan, and served as the ring bearer.

The couple also had the best of both worlds as they commissioned a wedding cake that was traditional and creative. The cake from one of the top wedding cake bakeries, Decadence Fine Cakes & Confections, featured layers of vanilla sponge, lemon mousse, and raspberry preserves.

A second detailed cake designed by Beverly Hills' Rosebud Cakes featured a model of Michael Keaton's version of the Batmobile, which included the Batcave. The cake also had edible copies of Jeff and Audrey dressed as Batman and Catwoman.

After the wedding, the couple planned a honeymoon in Vermont and Napa Valley before driving home to Los Angeles along the California Coast.

On October 11, 2015, a day before their third anniversary, the couple welcomed their twin boys, Jack Steven Dunham and James Jeffrey Dunham.

Jeff Dunham revealed that the boys were born two hours apart and were healthy. He also said the doctor let him actively assist with their delivery.

News that their family would be expanding with another two members first came in May 2020, when the pair excitedly made an announcement on social media. The post also revealed that they knew the sex of the babies well in advance, as she wrote:

"Hey everyone! @JeffDunham and I have some exciting news to share!! This fall, we will be welcoming not one, but TWO new members to the Dunham family! #TwinBoys."

Jeff Dunham's Wife Sues His Ex-Wife

In early 2015, Audrey filed a lawsuit against her husband's ex-first wife, Paige. She had sued her for registering multiple domain names that would prevent Audrey from using them.

According to her lawsuit, Paige had registered AudreyDunham.us, AudreyDunham.net, AudreyDunham.com, and AudreyDunham.biz. Her filing stated that Paige knew she would change her name after marriage before acquiring the domain names.

Before her marriage, she registered the name "Audrey Dunham" as a trademark for personal fitness training services and consultation. According to the Trademark Office, the examining attorney decided that the mark was unique and protectable.

Audrey wanted Paige to transfer the domain names to her, and Paige allegedly demanded that she pay her tens of thousands of dollars for the transfer of each domain name.

Willmore Holbrow's client, Audrey, filed a lawsuit for damages of up to $100,000 per domain name to stop Paige's cyber piracy. Due to her husband's ex-wife allegedly misusing her name, she was also claiming unfair competition.

It's unclear if the ladies settled outside of court or if the court issued a decision. However, Audrey currently operates her blog under the audreydunham.com site.
