- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2023
- They were THE Hollywood couple still going strong. But after 27 years of marriage, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness made a final curtain call on their relationship.. "to pursue their individual growth". The Australian triple-threat won the hearts of Hollywood. The entire world fell in love with the couple's high profile romance. Their's was a love story for the ages. The young aspiring actor grew fond of the star of the Aussie show 'Correlli'. Jackman and Furness met on the set in 1995, and he proposed four months later.
On April 11, 1996, Hugh and Deborra-Lee took their love to the next level, tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by family and friends.
They adopted their son, Oscar, 23, in 2000, and their daughter, Ava, 18, in 2005. Their relationship had endured decades in Hollywood.
In 2012, when Hugh was hosting the Tony Awards, Deborra-Lee surprised him on-stage.
The pair hadn’t seen each other for four months due to Jackman's filming commitments, and Jackman was visibly emotional when accepting the award. The star would often gush about his love for his wife in interviews.
Two years before splitting, on their 25th anniversary, Hugh posted a tribute to his wife to instagram, saying: "Being married to you Deb is as natural as breathing. From nearly the moment we met ... I knew our destiny was to be together. In our 25 years - our love has only grown deeper. We’ve only just begun."
The pair were last seen in public together at Wimbledon, in July.
But then, on Saturday September 26, the news broke that beloved couple were separating.

I remember Hugh saying he would never leave his wife and they were meant to be together. Wow, sorry to hear this.
What a shame. They seemed like a solid couple.
Bless Them, They Spent 25 Happy Years Together… I Wish them Both well and hope they get the privacy they Deserve… from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺….
It's 27 years.
Such a shame when any relationship breaks down. I hope they remain friends.
It's nice that the relationship experts here have an opportunity to share their ignorance. The Jackmans know why they split and they are the only ones who count.
AGREE, these people really do not know
Excellent and so true
Don’t understand why you’re watching, then.
Very well said....
And the only ones who really know
If their marriage was so happy & loving they could still grow while being together.
Why
Not while spending months at a time apart on opposite sides of the world. To grow together, you both have to be in the same place most of the time.
@@bowtoyoursensei554 Been married 36 years here and spent months at a time living apart. Mostly do to job opportunities. We grew at the time, but never apart. I'm sure it'll happen again. The marriage staying together is not an issue if you want it to stay together, even if you live apart.
He cheated! I just do not see a marriage of 27 years ending for "growing apart"
@@mollyanne9697Or she did!
COUPLES GROW APART BUT CAN STILL REMAIN FRIENDS
All I can remember is that media seemed to criticize their age gap and that she wasn't good enough for him. And now media are saying "Oh how sad, how can this be"..Probably pressure from not feeling good enough. I loved them as a couple.
The media should take a hike
This is so sad I hope they realize what a mistake it is to split and get back together.😞
Most couples eventually downsize, as they don't require so much space as the family grows and leaves home. However, they can still stay married. This split is so mysterious as Hugh and Dev seemed so in love, so supportive of each other, with both believing in marriage and family. To pursue "individual growth" is a cop out. Wonder if we will ever know the reason. I wish them both well, the are great people and were a great couple.
The age gap may of played a part but who knows
@@tonifoster1835Hugh is in a relationship with a man.
@@gregoryholstein3033no he’s not. Stop accusing him of
They'll get back together. My husband and I have been together 39 years. Sometimes people need a break to realize what they have.
I hope so. I hate to hear of couples breaking up after being together for so long.
I don't think they seem like the types of people (or couple) who would break up.. publicly announce it.. and then get back together 😔
The difference is they are part of the Hollywood. Hollywood kills marriages.
@@natalielawrence8809can't hide anything when you're famous unfortunately. Shouldn't influence their decision though if they decide to get back together.
@@natalielawrence8809 It happened with James Garner and his wife. They'd been together a long time, announced a separation, then eventually reconciled. Hopefully this will happen with this couple.
Marriage isn't easy and both have to be committed. We hit 50 years this Friday. It has been worth it.
I teally appreciate your comments on this section so can you tell me more about your self i am still searching
If everything he said and wrote was true, why did they divorce 🤔?
It was her decision, and apparently Hugh is coming back to Australia. The American tabloids claim she has another man.
@@geraldinekearney542Was it?😮
It's clear that she was tired of living in his professional shadow.
I thought that. So sad. Sorry for him.
@@geraldinekearney542 So does he. lol
This makes me so sad. Heartbreaking.
Lovely couple, acters. Sad news. Peace and happiness to them both
The only ones who know why they split is them. All the speculation, rumor-mongering, opinions about age difference, fitness etc is nosey, nasty, none of our business
But we are intrigued 😊
@@user-wz5ir9jl8q we can be intrigued without "suggesting" reasons 😊
Sometimes, people grow apart which doesn't mean they don't care about each other. That's life. At least they are parting on friendly terms.
My parents were married for 40 years, during their young ages I saw my father serve,care,provide to our family and love my mom truely, she is spoiled much I would say, 12 years ago my father was been sick , stoke, heart attacks almost 2x a year...my mom's turn to take care of him... and then I witness how she love him too during my dad's very low point...my father just died 2 months ago and I am thankful they never think of separating despite of all the trials in our family.... still hoping they can fix what is their problem no children would be happy seing their parents on separate ways...❤❤❤
For me and my husband, 47 years married, 52 together. People do what they have to do, but a lifetime of marriage to one person is a kind of miracle that is unexplainable. You can't possibly understand the meaning of it until you have it. So I am sorry for those who have missed the experience - like the Jackmans -- but I trust that your lives will be as fulfilling in ways unknown to me.
Congrats, but I think in this case age had something to do with it. HUGH is a hunky 55 year old and she's almost 70. Different needs.
We are married 43 years, and have almost never been physically apart. We worked together in our business for 38 of those years, until we retired. We are blessed with a close relationship. But I understand that we are not the “norm”. Very much hoping that both partners will continue to be kind to each other after making this choice. People can be so mean with gossip!
we pray hugh can at long last be brave and just come out......WE LOVE U HUGH.
How sad, I loved that they were a strong, solid, loving couple. I hope the best for them both.🙁🙏❤
Just when they were getting into that comfortable stage of life. Always busy I suppose. Keeping up the lifestyle is a wear and tear on relationships.
@@nan7503Hugh is in a relationship with a man, they’ve been together for a couple of years.
Who? If this is true, and I don't care, but who?@@gregoryholstein3033
It isn't as uncommon as one might think for couples to stay with each other in rough times for the kids sake! And also same goes for empty nesters . Once kids are grown for them to move on! It's a sad thing for the family . For what ever caused the final split . You would think since they were not spending a lot of time under the same roof they didn't have time to fight but in the same respect ...a marriage even one of 25 yrs need work and nurturing every day! And if there's no work on the marriage it can fail ! I wish them both the best and hope they find the peace and happiness they both deserve!
Some women are desperate to hear news like this, I mean why wouldn’t you? He’s such a lovely and handsome man who others are waiting to date or just bed with. However for some of us who are hopeless romantic and believe in a family staying together, is such a shame to see a marriage break apart.😢💔
God is good, he gives us hope 🙏
For years Hugh has been believed by some to be gay and this marriage with a huge age gap an alliance.
I agree and I am the same. But these women will do whatever
Не знаю, почему они разошлись, но что бы не писали про них - они были очень красивой парой.
Well I hope that they will get back together after a separation. And tha Hugh takes a break from acting and starts supporting Deb like the princess she is. She deserves it. She definitely was the wind beneath his wings. Ten years break in acting and he will still be able to get good roles if he looks after himself and wants to. Uts about time for Deb to shine! Hugh, do you hear this!!!!!!
I agree.
Cant anyone stay together anymore.....
They had a SUCCESSFUL relationship for 25 years!! That is NOT a failed relationship!!
My husband and I have been together 39 years...been through everything, including losing a child unexpectedly. God is our center.
It's sad when a spouse mistreats, lies or can't be faithful. In our day we are far too accepting of open marriages. Men and women need stability and want to be loved.
Why stay with someone who isn't taken their vows for real.
27yrs is a long time to be married. He has publicly said he loves her in many ways. Looking at her she clearly adores him to bits. Whatever the reason it's sad to see these two go separate ways. Its sad for their kids and, no matter how old they are, it still hurts.
Yes my lovely fan it really hurt well im stil searching for a lover i would love to be friends with you
my oldest sister was sleeping around on her husband for yrs they got married in 76 he divorced her in 98 after finding out from a source whom told him everything about her and my mum pointed this out as my sister son was born in 1980 he was 18 when they split mum said did u notice he divorced her after the son turned 18.......dont have to pay child support
what?
Again but this time in English...
@audreykennedy90 are young generation that doey duh.....don't understand what I texted duh can't read get it he divorced her after the son turned 18 that's when their adults....the father doesnt have to pay child support duh get it duh doofy
@@codzy3532 their or they're? Ever heard of grammar?
Not everyone is exactly the same as your sister and her husband. These are different people who have their own identity and characteristics. Why compare?
I would say probably empty nest syndrome. My senior thesis was on child free couples vs couples with children. Empty nest couples tend to divorce more often. They have been parents for several decades and put their marriage to the side. Part of why I don't have kids.
Sburris what a load of crap. Your saying that’s the reason you don’t have kids, what a laugh
I am so sad. I thought they were a forever couple and I love them both. It is their lives, not mine and I wish them both well.
It's her time to shine at the time most people enjoy their retirement? Why?🤔
Rumour has it he's coming out!
everyone knows he's been gay for years. come on.
The Internet is so quick. 😂😂😂
How can married couples, at that level, be apart for 4 months and then not even get the hint of the other one flying in-out of places and be able to 'surprise' each other? Either it was all scripted, which is almost 100% possible, in which case the entire lovelorn thing was all acting. Or the channel got the information wrong. Or they were already apart then and just continued the charade in public.
Yes they were acting for 27 years.......
@@MsPinkwolf They could be acting for 7 of those 27 years.
What an amazing life they’ve had! And will have.❤️
It's not over until it's over. The Jackmans are legally separating, which might or might not preclude to a divorce.
Yep Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas separated but got back together again.
Dang…this makes me so sad 😞. I hope it’s only temporary. Sometimes couples just a little time apart to realize how important they are to each other ❤😔💔
I remember going to the Hugh Jackman show in Toronto and he made us sit through a 5 minute montage of his love for Deb. I was sickened by how much he was in love with her so this is sad news.
My heart goes out to them and they're family . I'll keep them in my prayers and pray that whatever is best gor they're family is what the outcome is and that though they may be splitting that they keep they love they share/ed is what they fall back on as they navigate these new waters . God Bless
We never know what really goes on in a marriage. 🤔 It is difficult to staying together with separations and a Hollywood life style.
They have an empty nest now and Deb has alot to do with the Australian movie and theatre industry and this is her turn to fly now and I believe Hugh thoroughly supports her with this new path they are taking ,Hugh is right into the NY theatre at the moment and they are a lovely couple who will always support each other.
I think it is a shame they can't work things out. People just don't want to put in the effort anymore. Marriage is work.
Yes. Couldn't agree more.
They still love each other. Respect their privacy.
Too bad it has to be in the public eye.
If your a fan, respect their privacy.
Only they know why.
They have children so they still be in each other's lives.
You didn't tell us why. Clickbait.
Everything in this world has a timeline
True
Heartbreaking sad to hear this relationship has not lasted.
Still super classy. I wish them both well. And these news groups should stop bringing on "experts" to speculate on stuff they don't know much about.
I think these two people have loved each other from the time they met and will continue to love each other until the moment they depart. Separation of their marriage doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. Perhaps this is what they both decided they wanted for their futures. To discover other things on their own. Perhaps even other people. True love last an eternity and I am supportive of their decision and wish them both continued joy and love in their lives. ♥️💝♥️
Yes, and of course doing it alone as per usual. Honestly, Hollywood divorces should never be a surprise. This one is sad for me though.
😂😂😂 Nonsense of the year award. Divorce "doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong"???!!! Yeah, hon it really 😅 does!
Oh man! Totally cheered for this couple.
Looks like they waited till their kids were old enough to split. The youngest now being 18. No need for custody negotiations, etc. They probably didn't want to destabilise their adoptive children.
That is what I think so too; they both are Lovely People; but I do think that Jackman was More in Love with his Wife, than She was with him.
I was so impressed with the longevity of their marriage....made me believe in love after my divorce. Guess nothing lasts forever and I'm so sad about that.😢😢😢
27 happy years is a huge accomplishment. They can be happy for having such a loving relationship!
I am so sorry for all of them. I wish them all the best for the future and may we all give them their privacy.
Absolutely absurd. People split these days and that’s a travesty. You work past things you hold it together. Marriage is for life. Not just when it works or you feel good about it.
People used to know this.
👏
Yeah that's my perspective too.
Why we all think doesn't matter, BUT I will still say why I think this happened. Deb probably wants to go back to life in Australia, n Hugh doesn't feel the same, 54. She older, 67 n wants to chill, n focus on her organization HOPELAND. He is still booking high-profile movies and has to travel a lot to promote. She is tired. They are at a crossroad n choosing their own individual journey. I believe they still very much love each other but more now as friends/parents to their children. Functioning as friends, not lovers. Also, I feel Deb pushes for the divorce because Hugh was always LOUD as hell about his love for her. Another thing Hugh stays fit, n Deb maybe can't keep up anymore with his fame. Mentally n phyiscally, there's a difference between them. 27 is a successful marriage. It's just ending n becoming a friendship
great answer yep as we age im 60 sweetie im getting tired in my spirit so know how deb feels
Could be shes tired of his work... She lost a lot of weight and did extra surgery so now she looks younger and better then him, didnt think that was possible.. so i dont think its about keeping up she never looked better... and i agree he has been so loud about his love surely its coming from her side...
Hugh always said how proud of her he was of her heavy or not. I am sure they thought about their kids' feelings as well. I am sure that they could have done like other couples do. I wish and pray that they stay friends for a long, long, long time 🎉❤❤
I do not agree, he loves Australia. He also always loved her at any weight. She is fit now, so that point is irrelevant.
No.
She played a part for too long. She came to realize that. The truth hit her hard.
He always knew that she was playing a part in his life. He respected her for it. But it had nothing to do with the kind of love you think. It is a different love. A friend's love, at least from Hugh's side. And he was and still is grateful to her.
That's my observation.
a lavender marriage. Come on people!
What’s a lavender marriage ? Are you saying she was his beard?
Yes! That make sense, I always thought something was right with that couple!!
@@animosity4u85 In other words, yes.
Separate but delay divorce for as long as you can. There is no love or bond like a real friendship. I suspect I can guess why this is happening but it’s truly sad. She would be a very rare occurrence in a lifetime. You can’t take that for granted.
when you get to a certain age you begin to wonder "how much time do I have left?" and then you examine your entire life. That can be the impetus for such change.
5:05 Deborah pushed that woman out of the way with her body.
Not on purpose.
She had nothing to worry about with a woman.
He can now be his true self😉
This is very sad, but who knows what happened. I think the theory of them "gutting it out" until their youngest was 18 is a decent theory. They definitely didn't look happy at Wimbledon, but it could have been who they were rooting for was behind. Anyway, LOVE Hugh Jackman's work, not familiar with his wife's work and wish them both (and their kids) the best.
I wonder who was playing up or were they both?????
So sorry. Hate to see their love story end💔
That they are moving along different paths, it dosent mean someting is tragic or wrong. They are devoted parents and they are still linked forever through them... grant them peace and privacy during this life transition, dianne is a strong devoted intellegent woman and hugh is a honorable supportive and truehearted man, having the grace and maturity to follow their singular destinies it their perogitive and the only people entitled to pry or question are their children and families. To dianne and hugh, deepest admiration for your beautiful bonds and blessings for a strong, productive and joyous future as you all adjust to this new reality...
To pursue individual growth! Okayyyyyyy 🤷🏻♀️
The pretense of being happily married is common....many of us enjoy falsely impressing family and friends. Wrapped up in the fear of splitting, indecisiveness and procrastination, it is mostly found in first marriages. True love is virtually nonexistent but an irresistible fantasy to sing about or act about in showbiz. To gush about one's great love in public is a sign of ... and the prevalent death of Love. It's showtime!!
There it is. The one true statement here. All along the gushing, gushing, gushing alternated between wishful thinking and distraction. No other performer fills a show with such homages to a spouse; they are too respectful of their own privacy and of the audience. It will be interesting to see if “showtime”/act 2 is more honest and has better boundaries.
Sad that marriage these days seems to be a throw away item for nearly all celebrities.
Don't let the enemy kill your marriage
In similar situation.. heartbreaking.
Just incredibly sad but I suppose life is short and each can seek their own happiness now. Unfortunately love does not endure all in some cases…both have to have the resolve in order to stay together no matter what. Vows are just words…actions speak louder. Best to both.
Truly sad story. I pray for them and their children 💔🙏
Well, this is disheartening. I was always glad to see them happily married, and now I hear this. Why separate after so many years of being together and not just work it out? ... At least, their divorce will be an easier transition bc they're super wealthy.
Now Hugh can live his true life
? Meaning
@@KathyDeNick-px9vl He’s gay!
Age difference maybe?
@@vapalaca yes, I heard that too he’s Gay. I heard the marriage was really just a big farce for many years, but you never know what’s true. But both her kids are adopted. It makes you wonder why if it’s not true.
@vapalaca I doubt it
They had a good relationship now they are going their separate ways. Nothing wrong with that
This blows me away I am inordinately upset by this separation!!!
So sad to hear this. Best to both.
So heartbreaking that their love story has ended
É algo que acontece, que tenham maturidade pra viver o depois porque os filhos precisam deles❤
Hmmm, 27 years. That's how long my first marriage was. I hope their split is easier than mine was 💔
Are you implying that they're splitting up because their children are older?
no hugh doesnt have to pay child support
Maybe cause of the emptiness when children leave the house to live their lives
Frick. Of course, child support may be payable depending on what the children are doing. Often payable while kids are in university.
Child support? They have to financially support their children until they both have finished their education and be financially independent.
I doubt either one of them has an issue with paying child support whether the kid is 4 years old or 24 years old. The title of the video says this is why and nowhere in the video did they actually say this is why. Not that this any of our business.
So sad, but who knows the truth. I believed what they said,and hugh seemimg to mean that she was the love of his life..the latter years of life is when we surely need each other more.What do i know ,love to them all.
Some people say someone with something to hide will get married with glasses shielding. I hope he finds courage to remarry without shields and secrets
Oh NO! This is so terribly sad. Dammit. 😰
Ansio saber cual sera su proximo amor😍😍 suerte Hugh!!!
I'm saddened about this. But sounds like they grew apart

I get Wolverine to myself now. Lol
They appear to still love each other!
Believe me… that is not the saddest news in the world 🤨🫣😖
Hmmmmm its strange if you have so much respect and love that you dont grow old together with that love....
I’m very sad. I pray they reconcile.
Kind of sad... after soooo many yrs??? Usually the hardest ones even if one survives after the 7 yrs itch... and they made it but.. here we are!??? 😢😮😔
Has this gentleman made any films I might have seen? His wife resembles Patsy Stone in AbFab. Patsy was often mistaken for a drag queen.
This year is our Unhappy 25th. People fall out of love.
A fake relationship for 27 years? Really? Some of you guys...i just don't know.
I met Deborra Lee a few years back in NYC and she gave me the lowdown. A loving marriage of convenience. A real one.
@@JimmyOgilvie52why would she tell a stranger that?
So sad, I hate when marriages breakdown I wish it would have lasted for their lives☹️
It's interesting people are trying to figure out why they're splitting when they already stated why: "to pursue individual growth", that means they felf (or at least one of them), they couldn't support each others growth any longer, maybe they needed to separate in order to find their own path, maybe they (or one of them) felt stignated inside the marriage or outgrow their marriage.
So sad. Praying they can work things out and restart their love.
So sad to hear. I hope and pray for them.
If this is true, I find it heartbreaking.
Sad. But yes , like others, all the BEST to both.
I wish them peace and healing❤
