Wolverine star Hugh Jackman and wife Deborah Leifernes have parted ways after 27 years
00:08
of marriage.
00:09
They are parents to two adopted children, son Oscar, who is now 23 years old, and daughter
00:15
Eva, who is 18.
00:17
In a joint statement, Hugh Jackman and Deborah Leifernes said, "We have been blessed to
00:21
share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.
00:27
Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.
00:31
Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.
00:35
We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.
00:39
We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates
00:43
this transition in all of our lives."
00:46
It was signed, Deb and Hugh Jackman, along with the concluding note, "This is the sole
00:51
statement either of us will make."
00:55
Hugh Jackman, who is 54, and Deborah, who is 67, met on the sets of the Australian TV
01:00
show Cornelie in 1995.
01:03
Jackman admitted that it was love at first sight.
01:06
"I knew two weeks into meeting Deb that we were going to be together for the rest
01:10
of our lives," he had shared in an interview.
01:13
Despite having a big crush on the actress, Jackman didn't act upon his feelings because
01:18
it was unprofessional and embarrassing.
01:21
He told People, "Deb and I were already best friends and I realised I've got a crush
01:25
on my leading lady.
01:27
This is a thing you do not do.
01:29
It's unprofessional and embarrassing."
01:30
Eventually, he invited Deborah for a dinner party and communicated his feelings, only
01:36
to realise that the admiration was mutual.
01:39
Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee Furness got married on April 11, 1996.
01:44
The wedding was held at a church outside of Melbourne, Australia.
01:48
At the time, Jackman was 27 and Deborah was 40.
01:52
Soon after getting married, Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee Furness wanted to start a family.
01:57
However, the journey wasn't easy.
02:00
They suffered a couple of miscarriages.
02:02
In a 2017 interview with People, Jackman revealed, "Because of her age, we started straight
02:08
away when we were together.
02:09
We struggled a couple miscarriages.
02:12
In vitro fertilisation, it was not easy.
02:15
It was difficult, obviously, particularly on Deb.
02:18
I remember saying to her, 'We were always going to adopt.
02:21
Let's just adopt now.'"
02:23
In 2000, Jackman and Deborah Lee Furness adopted their son, Oscar.
02:27
Five years later, they adopted their daughter, Eva.

Today is our 27th wedding anniversary.
02:44
27 years.

02:48
Together we have created a beautiful family and life."
