Actor Hugh Jackman spent his entire life next to one single woman. At the same time, Deborra-Lee Furness is 13 years older than her husband. The couple are raising two adopted children.
Actor Hugh Jackman is called one of the sexiest men in Hollywood. There are hundreds of roles behind him, and, most likely, the same number of creative projects await the star in the future. It is not surprising that he enjoys unprecedented popularity among the fair sex. At the same time, Jackman himself is monogamous and has only one serious novel on his account.
Age is not a hindrance
The young actor met his future wife back in 1995. This happened during the important shooting of the film "Corelli". Hugh's romance with Deborra-Lee Furness was supposed to happen exclusively on the screen. But in the end, he was transferred to real life. Jackman played an aggressive prisoner who, unexpectedly for himself, realized that he had fallen in love with his own lawyer. Lee Furness was a colleague of the young actor on the set.
The fact that the girl turned out to be 13 years older than her lover did not in the least interfere with the couple. Although initially the lovers were strongly condemned by others. Familiar couples were sure that Deborra was categorically not suitable for the young free and cheerful Hugh. Many advised the actor to take a closer look at other girls. But he made his choice once and for all.
Jackman's friends point out that the actor has always liked older ladies. Hugh's parents divorced when he was very young. Then the boy stayed with his father and was very worried about the situation. Jackman has always lacked maternal care and love. He also looked for them in women who met on the path of life. It was Deborra who gave Hugh all the desired feelings and emotions.
The actors very quickly began a stormy passionate romance. They fit together so perfectly that they almost immediately decided to get married. Already in 1996, the couple signed. There was no lush, noisy wedding. The lovers decided to simply modestly register their marriage and invited only the closest people to the celebration. Interestingly, the couple played the wedding exactly 12 months after their first date took place.
Starting to live together, the couple quickly shared responsibilities. Hugh became the main earner and began to actively develop his career. And Deborra decided to become the keeper of the hearth. The girl by that time was already disappointed in her chosen profession. Lee Furness believed that fate hinted to her: she needed to look for a new destination for herself.
Who is Deborra-Lee Furness?
Jackman's wife is his colleague. The girl was born in Australia and from her youth dreamed of becoming an actress and producer. True, as popular as her star husband, Deborra did not succeed. The girl had problems at work even before meeting her future husband. The actress had a serious accident that resulted in spinal and leg injuries. Deborra had to spend several months in bed. During this period, she missed many interesting proposals from directors. All of them went to other actresses.
After the accident, Jackman's future wife played only in two significant films - Shame and Corelli. The latter brought her an important acquaintance with her future husband. After the wedding with Hugh, Deborra decided to leave her acting career forever, to devote herself entirely to her husband and children. The main dream of Lee Furness was motherhood. The girl wanted to create a large family in which many children will be born.
Family tragedy
After the wedding, Deborra took care of her husband. She learned how to cook his favorite dishes, having refused the services of a housekeeper. The girl also became Jackman's personal stylist. To this day, the wife herself selects for the actor all the outfits for social events and everyday wardrobe.
Of course, soon after the marriage, the couple began to dream of a joint child. Unfortunately, Deborra's health condition did not allow them to realize their plans for the heirs in a natural way. The girl had several miscarriages in a row, and she decided not to risk anymore. In addition, the doctors assumed that due to a spinal injury, the actress would not be able to bear the child on her own. Even a successful pregnancy could end sadly for Lee Furness. Therefore, after much deliberation, the couple decided to adopt. So a newborn Oscar Maximilian appeared in their family. Five years later, the actors became the parents of a lovely adopted girl Ava Eliot.
Foster children in a stellar family gave rise to many rumors about the actor's unconventional sexual orientation. Few could believe that a handsome, healthy and prominent man deliberately abandons his family heirs for the sake of his beloved woman. There were suggestions that in this way Hugh was simply hiding his interest in men. But the actor himself quickly denied such rumors. He said that he fell in love with his wife in the first seconds of meeting and could not imagine the reason why he would decide to part with her. Even if it is her inability to have children.
Today, rumors periodically appear about the divorce of the star couple and that Jackman has a new young lover. The spouses themselves do not comment on them in any way and to this day remain together.
