Has the Hollywood couple been in crisis for a long time?

Has the end of love between Hollywood star Hugh Jackman (54) and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness (67) been in the air for a long time? The former celebrity dream couple surprised on Friday evening by announcing their separation – after 27 years together. In a statement, obtained by People magazine said their journey had “changed” and they had decided to separate “to pursue our individual growth.” Now there is a lot of speculation as to what could have led to the end of their “wonderful, loving marriage”.

Insider: “Friends and family knew about it”

“It happened a while ago. Friends and family knew about it,” A source close to the couple recently told Page Six, the entertainment portal of the New York Post. The insider therefore suspects that the couple has been in crisis for a long time.

Accordingly, Furness did not often visit the Australian actor, who has been on stage on Broadway in the play “The Music Man” since February 2022, during rehearsals; she is said to have even sometimes been seen sleeping. However, a third person is not said to have been involved in the separation. Furness and Jackman “simply turned into roommates.”

The British Daily Mail Another anonymous source said that the two’s love had already broken during the corona pandemic and that the lockdown had allegedly “really put a strain” on their relationship. They worked on themselves again and again, but their love never returned.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness request privacy

For Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, family remains the focus, the couple said in their official statement. The two of them are starting the new chapter in their lives “with gratitude, love and goodwill”. The couple asks that their privacy – and that of their children – be respected during this major change in the lives of the family members. The two also do not want to comment further on the end of the marriage.

Jackman and Furness met in the mid-1990s on the set of the short-lived series “Correlli” and soon fell in love. Just a few months later, he asked for her hand in marriage and they finally tied the knot in early 1996. The couple has two children: Oscar (23) and Ava (18).
