One of Hollywood’s longest lasting couples, Hugh Jackman, 54, and Deborra-Lee Jackman, 67, shocked audiences when they shared the news that they are going their separate ways. The duo, who share 2 children, have been together for half their lives and the reason for their soon-to-come divorce has been revealed, and it’s nothing like what people expected.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee met in 1995.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995, on the first day of the actor’s first job after drama school.
“She was a big star. Everyone loved Deb. I get picked up by the car and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I get in the backseat. She had sunglasses on, she took off her seatbelt, turned around and said ‘Hi, I’m Deborra-Lee Furness, nice to meet you.’ and I remember thinking, ‘I like this girl’.”
6 weeks into filming, Jackman noticed a man courting Deborra-Lee, and he thought “that man has a crush on her”. That’s when he realized he was actually jealous of the man, and he had a crush on her himself. A few days later, after not talking to her for one week, he confessed his feelings and to his surprise, she reciprocated; she told him she was also crushing on him and that’s how their love story began.
After 11 months of dating, Hugh and Deborra-Lee tied the knot.
Over the following years, the couple struggled with infertility and experienced many failed IVF attempts and sadly, multiple miscarriages, all of which were “particularly difficult on Deb,” Jackman shared. Becoming parents was always their plan, Jackman shared, “We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt. But when we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption.”
In 2000, they adopted their eldest son, Oscar, now 23 years old, and their daughter Ava, in 2005, who recently turned 18.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee had a happy life together.
The two never missed a moment to show each other and the world how much they mean to each other. Every single year Jackman honored his wife by publicly sharing how much he loves her and fans always admired and gushed over the outpour of love.
In April 2023, on their 27th and last wedding anniversary, Jackman shared a loving tribute to his wife, stating, “27 YEARS! I love you so much, and together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage, loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart.”
Just a few months later, one of Hollywood’s most loved duos announced their separation.
In a joint statement, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee announced, “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.
Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”
2023 brought many Hollywood couples to a stop, with many celebrities divorcing after years spent together. Another recent divorce was Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s and their reason, although different than the ex-Jackmans’, is equally devastating.
Put a Sheet of Aluminum Foil in Boiling Water, Even Wealthy People Do This: The Reason
An easy home remedy using an aluminum foil sheet turns out to be a fantastic way to bring antique silverware back to life. After a meal, it’s usually best to wash the dishes right away to avoid having a large pile in the sink.
Dishwasher owners could avoid this task, but hand washers, for a variety of reasons, face the difficulty of polishing aged and seemingly irreparably tarnished silverware.
To address this widespread problem, a clever solution that makes use of aluminum foil’s transformational properties is developed. To start, heat up some water in a pot and add a spoonful of sodium bicarbonate and half a spoonful of sugar.
After the mixture comes to a boil, cut an aluminum foil sheet in half to form four equal portions. After rolling each section into a ball, the aluminum balls are added to the boiling kettle.
Unexpectedly, this technique works well for revitalizing crockery. For just ten minutes, utensils, knives, and spoons that have lost their shine are submerged in the liquid.
After this quick treatment, the cutlery is taken out and cleaned with soap and water to finish the regeneration process. The striking outcome is that the once-dull cutlery now sparkles brilliantly, almost like it is brand-new.
This inexpensive fix, which makes use of aluminum foil’s potential and sodium bicarbonate’s cleaning capabilities, is a fantastic substitute for throwing away used silverware and buying new ones.
People can revitalize their kitchen basics and save money and resources by using this easy-to-use yet efficient technique. Through this clever combination of commonplace items, the cutlery’s original shine and purity are revived.
