From his early days on Saturday Night Live to iconic characters like Austin Powers and Shrek, he has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. While his comedic genius is widely celebrated, many fans are curious about the man behind the characters, particularly his personal life and relationships.

It seems everyone in the world knows who Mike Myers is. GenXers grew up on his Saturday Night Live antics or the generation-defining moves like Wayne’s World or So I Married An Axe Murder.

Kelly Tisdale

Kelly Tisdale (reportedly born in March 1977) is a scenic artist and businessperson. According to her IMDB profile, Kelly worked as a scenic artist on the 1990s series, Erotic Confessions. She is also a former café owner, having started the TeaNY vegan restaurant with her ex-boyfriend, Moby.

Mike reportedly met Kelly in 2006, according to Good Housekeeping. The couple did their best to keep their relationship under wraps until a photo of the two on vacation went public. Kelly confirmed the romance to the National Enquirer, telling the publication, “We’re actually surprised you guys didn’t find out about us sooner.”

Kelly and Mike tied the knot in a secret 2010 marriage (Page Six broke the news of the wedding five months after they happened.) The couple soon began work on starting a family. They welcomed their first child, son Spike Alan Myers, in September 2011. In April 2014, Mike and Kelly welcomed daughter Sunday Molly Myers. Paulina Katheleen Myers arrived in November 2015.

Robin Ruzan

Robin Ruzan (b. Feb. 22, 1964) is a producer, writer, and actress, according to her IMDB profile. As of 2022, her most recent work was as a consulting producer on the Better Things television show. She also worked as a staff writer on the series. She appeared as a waitress in Wayne’s World and played Tammy Broderick in 1998’s The Thin Pink Line. Robin also received special thanks in the three Austin Powers movies – 1997’s International Man of Mystery, 1999’s The Spy Who Shagged Me, and 2002’s Goldmember.

Robin met Mike in 1987 when he attended a hockey game, where he caught a puck, according to her IMDB profile. The two wed in May 1993 and had no children. According to Page Six, Mike referred to Robin as his “muse” and based one of his most popular SNL characters – “Coffee Talk” TV host Linda Richman – on Ruzan’s mother. She also reportedly encouraged Myers to develop the goofy Lothario character he’d play at home into the Austin Powers character.

In 2005, the couple quietly decided to end their marriage. “They remain committed and caring friends,” publicist Ina Treciokas said in a statement, per TODAY. Mike has never spoken openly about the split. “I’m out of the blame business,” he said to Parade magazine in 2010, “and I’m into the dropping-resentments business. I’m into ‘That was then, this is now.’”

When asked about love, Mike told Parade in 2010 that he was “open to it” and ready to move on. “Yes, of course. I’m an experienced romantic—a battle-hardened romantic. It’s my job to wrestle out painful past experiences and invite somebody into my heart. And it’s my job to ask to be let into your heart. At 19, it was love at first sight—star-crossed. Now, at almost 47, I know that to have a deeper romantic connection, you have to work at it.”
