Jeff Dunham is a real household name when it comes to comedy. He found love for the second time with Audrey Murdick. The two married in 2012, only two years since Jeff’s divorce from his first wife, Paige. Theirs had been a beautiful love story, with accompanying laughter and shared dreams, because Audrey played the role of not just Jeff’s better half but a dedicated mother, entrepreneur, and digital creator. The following is a closer look into the life of Audrey Dunham, the woman who brings balance into the life of one of comedy’s most beloved figures.
Love Through Laughter and Mutual Respect
Jeff Dunham and Audrey Murdick had an experience of failed marriage earlier in Jeff’s life. But when their love took wings, it was on the seventh sky when they decided to become man and wife. On October 12, 2012, the duo exchanged their rings at Sunstone Vineyards and Winery in Santa Ynez, California. The marriage ceremony was spicy, with “fun, friends, family, and food.” It reflected the spirit of humor dwelling inside both their hearts.
From the get-go, Jeff and Audrey share that humor was something that they could give to one another, and it became central to their marriage. “We can’t imagine love any better than this,” they said in an interview shortly after their wedding. “No matter what the day, we go to sleep laughing, and we wake up laughing.”
Love and Milestones
The couple has remained vocal about expressing the ecstatic joy of their love through the years, with Jeff visiting Audrey in sweet social media posts. In 2022, on their 10th anniversary, Jeff posted a heartfelt message to Audrey, calling her the best mom and stepmom and professing his love and deep thankfulness for her. Audrey then posted a beautiful anniversary post, where she called Jeff “the best husband a girl could ever hope for” with lots of years still ahead of them.
Audrey Dunham: Multi-Talented Entrepreneur and Force to be Reckoned with
Audrey Dunham is more than the wife of a famous comedian; she’s a successful entrepreneur and an advocate for vegan baking. Audrey parlayed her love of all things healthy and culinary into writing three cookbooks of vegan recipes. So, she can be found not only buying fresh herbs and vegetables but also working toward her degree in plant-based nutrition with eCornell and taking classes at the Culinary Institute of America.
Audrey indulges her passion for edible plants on her website, where she shares a bounty of vegan recipes and documents her progress on various foraging projects. She has also created and marketed two lines of vegan and gluten-free cookie mixes from scratch. She sells them using her brand name, ‘Autumn Sons Baking Co.’, which she aptly named after her twin boys, born in October. Her love of allergen-friendly treats and dedication to creating her own means she is in good with the vegan baking community.
Digital Content Creator/Fitness Enthusiast
Audrey is a cookbook author and through her YouTube channel shares her creations and tips on living. Her content varies, showing from vegan baking tutorials to an insight into her lifestyle with Jeff and their children. And with her fitness modeling, training, and nutrition in her background history, this also comes through in her content, with great emphasis on the importance of having a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
A Surprisingly Family-Oriented Person: The Center of Audrey’s Life
Audrey Dunham is a family-loving person, always mentioning its members with distinctive warmth and profound respect. For her, her parents, whose names are Sarah Nursall Murdick and Steve Murdick, are the core of her life. This remarkable woman could not help but thank her parents for everything and everyone after the Vegan Women’s Summit in West Hollywood in May 2024 in a message posted on Instagram about the work they had done to achieve her success.
As close to her parents as Audrey is, she also shares a close bond with her younger brother, Nick. Her happiness was complete when Nick married his girlfriend of many years, Kim, in August 2024. The wedding, Audrey says, was a family affair that exuded warmth and much laughter—representing the family that Audrey loves so.
Love and Loss
Audrey’s loyalty to family also extends to the remembrance of those who have passed. In May 2024, she honoured Jeff’s late mother, Joyce, who had recently passed. Audrey described Joyce as one of the kindest souls she had ever known and expressed how much she, and the family, missed her. In a more general way, her memorial tributes to both her own and Jeff’s family members emphasize this general sense of family loyalty and love.
Parenthood and Responsibilities Shared
Welcoming Their Twin Boys to the World
In 2015, they were blessed with twin boys, James and Jack, two little wonders sent to bring even more to the joyful experiences life handed them. That was when the couple became more expressive on the subject of parenthood and the experiences they had with the fan family. Jeff was very excited to be a part of the process of birthing. In 2015, he was quoted as stating to Access Hollywood: “I was there for it all, and helped deliver the boys.”.
Before Audrey was a full-time editor, she often reflected on early mothering days and, as always, the surprise early arrival of their twins. Audrey was supposed to have her babies in November when, shortly after Audrey and Jeff got back into LA from traveling, she ended up in the hospital in October with two boys, James and Jack. In the usual way of these two, though it was a surprise to them, Audrey and Jeff embraced parenting with great joy and love.
In addition to the twins, Audrey is also an extremely excited stepmother to Jeff’s three older daughters from a previous marriage: Kenna, Ashlyn, and Bree. Jeff has often lauded Audrey in the role of stepmother as “an unparalleled step-mom” and expressed how thankful he is that she loves all of their children.
The close-knit Dunham family hit the spotlight in 2018 when they all appeared as contestants in an episode of Celebrity Family Feud. She effortlessly merges her place as a mother and stepmom into one with grace and love, and that is a testament to what kind of individual Audrey is and the kind of family that she and Jeff have created together.
Conclusion: Audrey Dunham’s Multifaceted Life
Audrey Dunham is a kind of woman who can be compared to a jack of all trades with many talents. She is a cookbook author, herbalist, vegan baking enthusiast, the very best wife, and mom a person could ask for—pouring everything into each of these roles with boundless energy, creativity, and love. Her marriage to Jeff Dunham, bound by laughter and mutual respect, keeping them in sync with their commitment to family, makes them one of the most popular couples in Hollywood. In her work and life, as Audrey continues to be an inspiration for others, she remains the ideal example of how to balance love, family, and personal ambition.
