Hugh Jackman’s Wife Slams “Boring” Rumors About His Sexuality

Jackman, 53, and Furness, 66, first met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli. They wed in the following year and went on to welcome son Oscar, 21, and daughter Ava, 16, into their family.

Looking back at their decades-long romance, Furness said she and Jackman had “an incredible connection from the get-go.”

“It was magic,” she recalled of their first encounter, remembering that she thought it was so “cliché” of her to fall for the leading man of the 10-episode drama. “And then he proposed four months after we started dating.”

Calling it a “no-brainer” to accept Jackman’s proposal, Furness added, “It was the first time ever I’d known what it was like to be in love.”
