Hugh Jackman has admitted that he is going through a challenging time in his personal life. The actor, known for his role in ‘Logan’, recently announced that he and Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years, are separating. While he is not yet ready to discuss the split, he acknowledged that things have been difficult.
During an encounter with a paparazzi videographer in New York City, Hugh expressed his gratitude for the thoughts and concern, but mentioned that it didn’t feel right to discuss the matter on the street. He said, “It’s a difficult time…”
The reporter also inquired about Hugh’s return to work on ‘Deadpool 3’, which is currently on hold due to Hollywood strikes. Hugh replied that he couldn’t give a definite answer until the strikes come to an end, but he hoped it would be soon.
Recently, Hugh Jackman was seen riding his bicycle without his wedding ring. He opted for a casual look during the day and completed it with a pair of sunglasses. The picture, shared by Page Six on Twitter, shows a ringless and seemingly devastated Hugh Jackman after the split with Deborra-Lee.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee announced their separation through a joint statement. In the statement, they expressed gratitude for the almost three decades they had spent together as a loving and wonderful couple. They explained that their journey was now shifting, and they had decided to separate to focus on their individual growth. The well-being of their family remains their highest priority, and they kindly requested privacy as they navigate this transition.
