Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness seemed like they were going to be that rare couple who was going to make it. But their marriage did not survive being empty nesters.

The couple released this statement to People: “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We 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.”

The couple, who have been married for 27 years, have two children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.

The two met in 1995 when they worked on the Australian series Corelli, fell in love, and were married on April 11, 1996.

No reason was given for their split, but I blame Deadpool.
