Despite his strong feelings, he initially refrained from acting on them, considering it ‘unprofessional and embarrassing.’ However, Jackman eventually mustered the courage to invite Deborra to a dinner party, where they both discovered that their admiration for each other was mutual.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness exchanged vows on April 11, 1996, in a heartfelt ceremony held at a church outside Melbourne, Australia. At the time of their marriage, Jackman was 27, while Deborra was 40.

In April of this year, Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness commemorated their 27th wedding anniversary in the vibrant heart of New York City. Jackman expressed his love for his wife on social media, sharing a cherished photograph of the two of them.
