Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' Marriage

Hugh Jackman had earlier mentioned that he thinks the rumours were influenced by his performance in The Boy from Oz as Peter Allen, who by the end of the Broadway, was found out to be gay. In a 2013 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hugh had mentioned how the rumours upset his wife sometimes. In 2018, he mentioned in conversation with a US radio station that the rumours don’t really bother him.

The two met on the sets of their Australian TV show, Correlli in 1995 and got married within a year. They have two children, 20-year-old son Oscar and 15-year-old daughter Ava.
