The split comes after 27 years of marriage.

One of the most beautiful romances in Hollywood history has always been that of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. For almost thirty years the Deadpool 3 star and his loving wife have shared ups and downs, always being open with the public in the process. Today marks a bittersweet end to their marriage, as the couple has announced that they are separating after 27 years of marriage. 

Making an exclusive statement to People, “Deb and Hugh Jackman” shared the following  announcement confirming the news: 

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. This is the sole statement either of us will make.

Marrying in 1996, Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman’s image as perfect partners was never in question. Showing support of his wife in many ways, like when Jackman commended Furness’ being named an Officer of the Order of Australia, the love was never far from the news. 

Then there were the times when, in the face of persistent rumors that claimed Hugh Jackman was gay. Deborra-Lee Furness would take the lead to combat what the tabloids had to say. Through every turn in life this pair has been there for each other, and to be honest, the way they’ve announced their split only further suggests that things won’t change in that respect.

Throughout the couple’s shared past, the notion was that Hugh Jackman’s relationship was one of the best in Hollywood. That claim could still stand up after this announcement of separation, as the Greatest Showman star and his wife may have decided to split because of factors that just made that choice all the more reasonable. It’s a scenario that’ll be tested throughout the near future, as this seems to be the beginning of the Jackman family’s life changing journey.

Once again, it is a bittersweet scenario to witness Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness splitting up. Looking back on things like Jackman’s sweet social media throwbacks, it’s easy for fans of their story to feel upset, even though they’re only witnessing things from a public standpoint. 

While there’s a sadness to this news, it’s comforting to know that it looks as if Hugh and Deborra-Lee have amicably reached this decision. With that in mind, we here at CinemaBlend wish nothing but the best for the Jackman family, as they work through this time of transition.
