After 25 Years, Hugh Jackman Still Swooning Over His Wife
So there’s Hugh Jackman, the guy who can hop into a mob as an X‑Man and play a musical lord in the same week. Now he’s got a different kind of superhero in his life: Deborra‑Lee Furness. They’ve been happily stuck together since 1996, and Jackman swears they’re still crazy in love after a quarter‑century of sharing laughs, life lessons, and maybe a Netflix binge or two.
How They Keep the Romance Alive
- They keep making time for each other. Whether it’s a secret late‑night message or a quick coffee break on a hectic day, both know that priorities shift, but love is the constant.
- They remind each other why they fell for one another. Jackie says it’s about scouting out that “funny, amazing, smart” side of Deborra again and again; it’s like a reset button for marriage.
- They’re always learning. People change, so even after 25 years, they still “reset” each other, staying fresh and fabulous.
Baby Talk and the Crossroads Pact
Before little Oscar (19) and Ava (14) joined the family squad, Jackman and Deborra made a deal—simple, but powerful. Every life crossroads gets a face‑to‑face check–in. That means if they’re at a job decision, a family trip idea, or just wondering if they should finally try that cooking class, they ask: “Is this good for our marriage? Is it good for our kids?”
And wow, they’ve actually lived it. “Those moments come in all sizes,” Jackman says. Some are obvious, like moving continents; others are subtle, like deciding to man down the alarm clock. Still, they always hit that question‑time and keep the bond tight.
Intimacy, Inside and Out
When people hear “intimacy,” they talk bedroom; but Jackman says it’s the whole package. It’s the ability to be 100% together: the successes, the fears, the fumbles. “We’ve always been open, truly ourselves,” he says. That level of depth is what keeps their marriage strong and sparks occasional “wows!” moments.
Bottom Line
Hugh Jackman’s take on love? It’s not a one‑off; it’s a continuous, sometimes fine‑tuned, basically gold standard of romance. If you’re a couple with a kid or two, remember the key: Keep talking, keep loving, and keep resetting—just like the Jackman crew.
