After 27 years together, Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-lee Furness have decided to part ways. The news of their separation was confirmed by the couple through a statement shared with People magazine. This comes as a shock to many, as the couple has been a beloved and enduring symbol of love and partnership in the entertainment industry.
Jackman and Furness first crossed paths in 1995 on the set of the TV series “Corelli.” It didn’t take long for Jackman to realize that he had developed feelings for Furness after just a few weeks of working together. Although initially trying to keep their budding relationship under wraps, it didn’t take long for everyone to find out about their romance.
Their love story faced its fair share of challenges. Furness admittedly tried to end their relationship at one point, but Jackman managed to convince her to stay. The couple tied the knot in 1996 and went on to adopt two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava, after struggling with fertility issues.
Throughout their long and successful marriage, Jackman and Furness have frequently expressed their love and admiration for each other. In fact, Jackman dedicated his first Tony Award to Furness, affectionately referring to her as the “best musical theater widow.” They have also shared countless tributes and messages of appreciation on social media.
Despite the announcement of their separation, Jackman and Furness have managed to keep their personal lives private. They have requested privacy as they navigate this significant transition in their lives. The couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary earlier this year, commemorating the occasion with a heartfelt slideshow of throwback photos.
Their last public appearance together was in July at the Wimbledon men’s final, which came shortly after a rare outing in June to attend a Pink concert in London. These public appearances were a testament to their enduring bond, but now mark the end of an era for the couple.
Fans and well-wishers have expressed their sadness and support for Jackman and Furness during this difficult time. Their separation serves as a reminder that love stories, even those that seem unbreakable, can sometimes come to an end. As they embark on separate paths, we can only hope that both Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness find happiness and fulfillment in their future endeavors.
