At the core of their relationship is a deep friendship, with Allen emphasizing their strong bond as 'buddies.'
The couple welcomed their own child, Elizabeth Allen-Dick, in 2009, who followed in her parents' footsteps into acting. Allen also has an adult daughter, Katherine Dick, from his previous marriage.
