Personal life

Black encouraging people to wear face masks as part of California's "Your Actions Save Lives" campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020

At age 14, Black struggled with cocaine use. He said, "I was having a lot of troubles with cocaine ... I was hanging out with some pretty rough characters. I was scared to go to school because one of them wanted to kill me. I wanted to get out of there."[100] One of Black's brothers, Howard, died of AIDS in 1991 at age 36.[100] His oldest brother, Neil Siegel, is an engineer, scientist, and musician.[101]

Black dated actress Laura Kightlinger between 1996 and 2005.[102][103][104][105][106][excessive citations] In January 2006, Black became engaged to singer Tanya Haden, a daughter of jazz bassist Charlie Haden. They had both attended Crossroads School, and 15 years after graduating they met again at a friend's birthday party. They married on March 14, 2006, in Big Sur, California.[107][108] Their sons were born in 2006 and 2008.[109][110]

Although an atheist,[111][112] Black identifies as nominally Jewish, and fatherhood influenced his decision to raise his children in the Jewish faith.[113]

Black endorsed Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.[114] In 2015, he visited Kampala as part of Comic Relief USA's Red Nose Day.[115] Black is an outspoken critic of Donald Trump. On the day of Trump's 2017 presidential inauguration, he and Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass performed their 2006 protest song "The Government Totally Sucks". Black said to the audience beforehand, "We haven't played it for years, because it just never felt appropriate—but now, we're happy to unleash the beast. The government totally sucks."[116] Before the 2022 election, Black hosted a letter and text writing party to rally VoteRiders volunteers engaged in educating eligible voters about voter ID requirements in their states.[117] Of the 2022 midterms, he said, "[S]o much is on the ballot this cycle. We've got a woman's right to choose. The environment is on the ballot, environmental protections. And not to mention democracy is on the ballot. There's so, there's so many divides in this country right now." Black said he views a potential reelection bid by Trump as a threat that is "always lurking in the background."[118]
