Another day another strong Hollywood couple splitting. This time fans were shocked to learn that Hugh Jackman, known for having one of the longest marriages in the industry, is separating from Deborra-Lee Furness.
For many decades, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were seen as an inspiration to many for their immense love and care for each other. They were a loving couple who went through thick and thin together and many saw them as a testament to the power of love and commitment.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Separate
Sadly, this long and romantic story has now come to an end as both have shared in a statement to People Magazine. The couple broke the news as follows:
“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.”
“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.”
As the statement reads, it seems that the couple is separating amicably and for the best interest of both, although they didn’t share anything else regarding the reason for their separation. The statement concludes: “This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ Love Story
The couple met in 1995 on the set of the Australian soap opera Correlli and married shortly in 1996. They have two adopted children, Oscar and Ava. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were married for 27 years and were considered one of Hollywood’s most stable couples.
They always proved to have a strong bond and were always very supportive of each other, which will likely remain the same despite their separation. Jackman always said that Furness is his best friend and the love of his life, and we don’t doubt that won’t change any time soon.
In an interview, Jackman said of Furness: “She’s the most kind, caring, generous, intelligent, beautiful woman I’ve ever met. She’s my best friend, my lover, and the mother of my children. I can’t imagine my life without her.”
Furness also spoke highly of Jackman all the time, saying once: “He’s my soulmate. He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met. He’s kind, funny, and incredibly talented. I’m so lucky to have him in my life.”
Some say all love stories have an expiration date, and it seems that for these two it came almost three decades after they met. However, they will remain one of the most inspiring celebrity couples!
