Hugh Jackman and his beloved wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have told everyone that they are going their different ways.

In a statement, the couple said, “We have been blessed to share almost three 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,” they said.

They asked for understanding during this time of change by saying, “We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

The letter was signed with love by “Deb and Hugh Jackman,” and it said, “This is the only statement either of us will make.” This added to their desire for privacy during this difficult time.

The close-knit Australian couple has been married for 27 years. They have two children, Oscar, who is 23, and Ava, who is 18.

Hugh Jackman and the Australian beauty, who is 67 and he is 54, have always talked about how strong their relationship is, even though they are 13 years apart in age. Since they got married in 1996, they have never been apart for more than two weeks.
