Reps for both parties have confirmed the split of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Jackman, who were married for 27 years.
Hugh and Deb Jackman confirmed the news to TODAY in a statement made on September 15. The message was first reported by People.
We’ve been married over 30 years, and it’s been the best time of our lives. We’ve reached a fork in the road and must go our separate ways if we want to continue developing as individuals.
The statement read, “Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.” “We enter this new chapter with appreciation, affection, and consideration. We ask that you please respect our need for privacy during this difficult time in our lives.
The Deb Jackman summed up their statement by saying, “This is the only statement either of us will make.”
The Australian actors marked 27 years together in the business in April of 2023.
An Instagram photo of the couple was captioned, “I love you Deb,” by the “X-Men” actor.
We’ve been married for 27 years today! 27 YEARS!! Honestly, I adore you. We are a beautiful family because of each other. and living. You have given me a great gift with your humor, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage, and loyalty. With every beat of my heart, I love you.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee c have two children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18; both were adopted when they were small.
In case there was any doubt, Deb and I always intended to adopt. In 2012, Hugh Jackman told Katie Couric that the intention was always there. “We tried biologically, and it just wasn’t happening for us; this is a trying moment, and we don’t know where in the process that would happen. Deb experienced two miscarriages despite our use of in vitro fertilization. Miscarriage is something I will never forget; it affects one in three pregnancies but is rarely spoken.
He continued, “I hope Deb doesn’t mind me bringing it up now; it’s almost covert. Discussing it is beneficial. It’s more typical, and it can be challenging. You need to go through a period of mourning.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee Jackman have two children, Oscar and Ava, and this is all the information we have about them.
Oscar Jackman, now 23
Oscar Jackman, born on May 15, 2000, was adopted by the Jackmans.
To Couric, the “Wolverine” actor said, “all the heartache (of miscarriage) just melted away” after the birth of their son Oscar.
The Jackmans did their best to instill their heritage in their offspring.

“When my son was younger, he found out he was part Bosnian, so we went and got this Croatian/Bosnian cookbook and he was very proud to carry that around when he was 7 years old,” Deborra-Lee Jackman said to People in 2020. “We’ve been to Mexico because my daughter has Mexican ancestry.”
When Oscar first started thinking about ladies, he didn’t see his father as famous.
Once he found himself on a beach. Hugh Jackman told ET in 2018 that when he was “about 13 he was talking to a girl, and he was talking to a girl who I guess was about 15, and he started walking towards me.” ‘Dad, Dad, Dad, she’s coming over,’ he said as he walked up to me ahead of the female. Just pretend you’re Wolverine, I told her. When my son was 13, I told him, “I am the wingman for my 13-year-old boy.”
Aged 18 years, Ava Jackman
Ava Jackman was adopted as an infant by the Jackman family.
Hugh Jackman was absolutely smitten with 4-year-old Ava in 2009.
“(She) loves school,” he gushed to Couric. ‘She can’t wait to get out of here. She tells me all about her day when she gets home, and how much she loves life and how much she is just like Deb. As a spectator, it’s hard to believe.
His daughter, he said, is very self-sufficient.
From the age of six months on, “you could not put a spoon to her mouth,” he said. Yes, “She could do it herself.”
The tiny girl had a penchant for order and cleanliness.
She “goes around the house closing drawers, picking things up,” he claimed.
Hugh Jackman’s performance as P.T. Barnum, co-founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, in “The Greatest Showman” (2017) is Ava’s father’s all-time favorite movie.
He told E! Insider, “My daughter commented, ‘This is the best movie you’ve ever done. To which the speaker responds, “So that was nice.”
Ava, however, strongly objected to her dad making a record just for the movie. As Hugh put it, “She said, ‘No, you should lip sync.
The father added that his daughter Ava is a “massive” fan of Zendaya, his co-star in “The Greatest Showman.”
“When I found out she was available for the part, I asked my daughter, ‘Have you heard of Zendaya?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, what do you mean?’ According to E! Insider, “it was like, ‘You are going to be in a movie with her?’ like I finally made it.”
According to Hugh, the movie set was swarmed by his daughter and her pals.
“I’ve never seen her starstruck, she was totally starstruck,” he continued.
