Jefferies is still Friends with His Ex-Girlfriend
Before marrying his wife, Jefferies was in a relationship with actress Luyben. The ex-couple met in 2011 and started dating. They had a son—Hank Jefferies—on 7 November 2012.
Hank got the opportunity to attend a "very, very fancy" Los Angeles-based kindergarten alongside other celeb kids that cost the parents $40,000 per year. Once the school complained to the parents about Hank's comprehension issue, to which, Jim replied, "At forty grand a year, that sounds like a 'you' problem, not a [expletive] me problem."
However, the couple grew apart and eventually split.

However, this doesn’t imply that the comedian and his ex-girlfriend are estranged. They still share a cordial bond and are supportive of one another. They look after their son together amicably.
During the time of the pandemic, Hank started home-schooling, which in turn him more "dumber", according to Jim's interview with The Project in 2021.
