The couple first met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV show Correlli. Jackman has previously spoken about their instant connection, stating that he knew they would be together for the rest of their lives. They got engaged just weeks after they started dating and tied the knot in April 1996.
Over the years, Jackman has openly expressed his admiration and love for Furness. In an interview earlier this year, he referred to her as his “best friend” and his main source of support in both his career and personal life. He emphasized the importance of sharing everything together and revealed that they never spend longer than two weeks apart.
The couple shares two children, son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18, whom they adopted together. Despite their separation, they remain committed to co-parenting their children and maintaining a friendly relationship.
