Deborra-Lee Furness recently expressed her disapproval of “rude” remarks about her marriage to Hugh Jackman in an interview conducted before the couple announced their separation. During her appearance on Anh Do’s Brush With Fame in 2020, the Australian actress, aged 67, was asked if she considered herself “lucky” to be married to the 54-year-old heartthrob known for his role as Wolverine. Furness scoffed at the question, replying, “Lucky! Like I won a chook raffle.” She further elaborated that people may not realize that it is impolite to make such comments. Furness attributed the perception of luck to Jackman’s attractiveness and his image as a Hollywood star.
In the same interview, Furness referred to Jackman as her “soulmate,” emphasizing the strong connection they share. She expressed her gratitude for having experienced this connection and meeting her soulmate, despite the ambiguity of the term. Furness also highlighted the importance of finding a supportive partner who stands by one’s side through all the challenges of life, including raising children.
Insider sources revealed that their marriage was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing writers’ strike, which worsened their relationship issues. The Australian couple, who are parents to two children, announced their separation in a joint statement, stating that the strain caused by the lockdown and other circumstances led them to conclude that splitting amicably was the best choice. They emphasized that, despite their separation, they will always be connected and prioritize their family.
It was confirmed by a representative for Jackman that the COVID-19 pandemic and the writers’ strike did impact their relationship. The insider also mentioned that there were pre-existing problems before Jackman’s return to Broadway in February 2022 for The Music Man, noting that Furness was not present at rehearsals. The couple’s separation came just five months after celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary in April.
Jackman and Furness, who is 13 years older than him, met in 1995 while working on the Australian TV show Correlli. Jackman has always been open about his deep love and admiration for his wife, describing her as his “best friend” and their bond as the foundation of his career and personal life. He emphasized the importance of honesty, intimacy, and making time for each other in maintaining a healthy and long-lasting marriage.
The couple, who adopted two children together, has made numerous public appearances together throughout the years, including the Met Gala and Wimbledon. Despite their separation, they released a joint statement expressing their gratitude, love, and kindness as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.
