High-profile celebrity couple fallout is not a new thing, but it always comes as a shock to their fans and the world. The same happened with the fans of Hugh Jackman as the Wolverine actor announced that he and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness are separating after 27 years of marriage.

As they have nearly shared three decades as a married couple, it is a shock that no one saw coming, but a source has to offer some insights on why they are getting a divorce.

Notably, their age difference was always the talk of the town as the Wolverine actorโ€™s wife was 13 years older than him. However, it had to do nothing with their divorce as a source reveals their split was a โ€œlong time coming.โ€ In a joint statement, they also mentioned that they have decided to pursue their individual growth in their career as they end their 27 years of marriage.

As the couple met for the first time in 1995, they were certainly one of the most powerful couples in the showbiz industry. In the statement given to PEOPLE, they mentioned that their journey is shifting and now have decided to call it quits. It was their different careers that they wanted to pursue.  The joint statement read,

“We have been blessed to share almost three 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.”

Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-lee are amicably ending their marriage as they released a statement. They did reveal the reason for parting ways, but a source told Page Six more about their fallout.

โ€œIt happened a while ago. Friends and family knew about it,โ€ said the source, who theorized that the couple had problems between the two for a while, most likely when Hugh Jackman returned to Broadway in February 2022 for The Music Man.

โ€œDeb wasnโ€™t at rehearsals very much,โ€ said the source, as Deborra โ€œwas even spotted snoozing during some of them.โ€ There was no third person involved in the divorce, and they had simply turned into โ€œroommates.โ€ The close friends knew their divorce was only a matter of time, and fans were shocked when the couple announced their split with a joint statement.

After 27 years of marriage, the couple shared the devastating news of their split. While meeting on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli back in 1995, Deborra-Lee Furness was 40 years old, while Hugh Jackman was only 27 years old. They clearly had an age gap of 13 years, but that did not come in their way. She was a big name in the entertainment industry as she had an experience of around 2 decades, whereas Jackman was fresh off the acting school.

The Wolverine actor gushed about the moment and once shared how he met his former wife in a conversation with PEOPLE. He shared how it was his first job out of the drama school and was a massive break for him. Upon meeting for the first time, he had a crush on her as he shared, โ€œThis is the thing you do not do. Itโ€™s unprofessional and embarrassing.โ€

They soon began to date each other and got married on April 11, 1996, just 11 months after meeting. โ€œBeing married to you Deb is as natural as breathing. From nearly the moment we met,โ€ said the actor while posting photos on their 25th wedding anniversary.

While it must be a hard time for the couple to part ways after 27 years, we hope that everything remains healthy between the two.

Hugh Jackman is set to return as Wolverine and join Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3, which is said to be released on 3 May 2024.

Apart from different career paths, what else could be the reason for their divorce? Let us know in the comments below.
