Confirmation from Hugh Jackman’s Representative
In a poignant revelation, Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, have decided to separate after sharing a remarkable 27-year journey of love and togetherness. The separation news was officially confirmed by Hugh Jackman’s representative, Michele Schweitzer, who made the announcement to USA TODAY on a Friday.
A Graceful Announcement
In an exclusive statement to People, published on the same day, the couple expressed their sentiments: “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
Their statement further conveyed, “Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
A Love Story That Spanned Decades
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness, who united in marriage in 1996, have two children together: Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18. Their journey began with 11 months of dating before they exchanged vows.
Reflections on Their Love
In a joint interview on the “Aussies in Hollywood” podcast in 2018, this Australian power couple shared the story of how they met, their experiences working together, and the moment when Hugh Jackman realized that Deborra-lee Furness was “the one.”
Jackman confessed, “I knew very early. I knew before Deb knew, even when she tried to break up with me, I knew. I managed to talk her out of (breaking up with me), thank God. I’m a very indecisive person, Deb really knows this about me. I can count on my hand the amount of times in my life anything has felt that clear to me.”
He continued, “I just knew 100% … I even knew when she was trying to work out reasons to break up with me.”
Expressions of Love Over the Years
Earlier that year, Hugh Jackman penned a heartfelt message to his beloved on their anniversary, illustrating the depth of their connection: “I believe in life we need to see and truly be seen by the most important people in our lives… Deb, from day one, we had that. 22 years later … it only gets deeper.”
