Hugh Jackman’s wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has recently spoken out for the first time since the announcement of their separation after 27 years of marriage. While the couple had kept quiet about their split before, an accidental phone call from Australian radio presenters led to a candid conversation with Furness.

During a live radio show, hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson accidentally called Furness, not realizing they had dialed her number. When they apologized for the mistake, Furness graciously responded, thanking them for their kind words.

The radio hosts expressed their concerns about getting involved in the couple’s personal matters, but still offered their support and encouragement. Furness appreciated their understanding and expressed her gratitude for their well wishes.

The couple’s separation came as a surprise to many, as they had been married since 1996 and seemed to have a strong bond. They share two adopted children, a son named Oscar who is now 23 years old, and a daughter named Ava who is 18 years old.

In a statement released to People magazine, Jackman and Furness explained their decision to part ways. They emphasized the importance of their family and their commitment to prioritize the well-being of their children. They also thanked their fans for their understanding and requested privacy during this transitional period.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met on the set of an Australian TV show in 1995 and tied the knot a year later. Over the course of their marriage, they enjoyed nearly three decades of love, support, and happiness. Now, they embark on separate journeys of personal growth, appreciating the memories they shared together.

As we reflect on this news, let us remember the importance of love, understanding, and kindness in our own lives, especially during challenging times. Relationships evolve, and sometimes that means making difficult decisions. Jackman and Furness set an example of navigating a significant life change with grace and appreciation.

We wish both of them the very best as they move forward on their individual paths.
