Actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness are to separate after 27 years of marriage, US media have reported.<\/p>\n
According to celebrity magazine People, the Australian couple said they had been \u201cblessed to share almost three decades together\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
Jackman and Furness met on the set of TV show Correlli in 1995.<\/p>\n
Furness was an established actress when they met while Jackman was fresh out of drama school.<\/p>\n
They married in April 1996 and later adopted two children who are now 23 and 18.<\/p>\n
According to the statement in People, the couple said their \u201cfamily has been and always will be our highest priority\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
The couple sign off by saying \u201cthis is the sole statement either of us will make\u201d.<\/p>\n
Jackman, who is best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men films and spin-offs, as well as roles in The Greatest Showman and Les Miserables, has posted frequently on social media about his relationship with Furness.<\/p>\n
On their last wedding anniversary, in April, he said: \u201cI love you Deb. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 YEARS!!<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you so much. Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humour, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you with all my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also posted on their silver wedding anniversary in 2021, saying their marriage was as \u201cnatural as breathing\u201d.<\/p>\n
The couple were photographed together in July at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London, where they were seen watching Carlos Alcaraz play Novak Djokovic<\/p>\n
In April, Jackman told fans via social media that he had been given the all-clear following tests for skin cancer.<\/p>\n
The actor had his first skin cancer removed in 2013 and has since had at least six procedures.<\/p>\n
