After nearly three decades of marriage, Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Jackman, have revealed their decision to amicably end their union. The couple shared this exclusive statement with PEOPLE:
“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.”
Family has always been their top priority, and they are approaching this new chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. They also expressed their appreciation for the understanding and respect for their privacy during this transition in their lives.
The statement, jointly signed as “Deb and Hugh Jackman,” marks the only public statement they intend to make regarding their separation.
The Australian couple, who share two children, Oscar (23) and Ava (18), have been married for 27 years.
Hugh and Deborra-lee first crossed paths in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series “Corelli.” Their love story unfolded rapidly, with Deb, an established actress, and Hugh, a budding actor fresh out of drama school, tying the knot less than a year later.
Hugh fondly reminisced about their first meeting, saying, “Deb, she was a big star… I get picked up, and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I’ll never forget. She took off her seatbelt and she turned around and put out her hand and took off her sunglasses and said, ‘Hi, I’m Deborra-lee Furness, nice to meet you.’ I remember thinking, ‘I like this girl.'”
The couple exchanged vows on April 11, 1996, and over the years, they became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples.
On their 27th wedding anniversary in April, Hugh shared a heartfelt tribute to Deb on Instagram, expressing his love and appreciation, and acknowledging the beautiful family and life they had built together.
Their most recent public appearances included the Met Gala on May 1 and attending the men’s finals at Wimbledon in July.
