14-10-2023 (NEW YORK) Despite their divorce, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness continue to celebrate milestones together. According to insiders from Page Six, the former couple recently celebrated Jackman’s 55th birthday in Midtown Manhattan, New York, and the event appeared to be a joyful occasion.
Jackman, who has been active in recent days with a bike ride, chose the Polo Bar for his birthday celebration. The restaurant, described as a stylish American establishment designed by Ralph Lauren, is known for serving classic dishes, bar snacks, and drinks.
For this special day, the Wolverine star was surrounded by his former spouse, Deborra-Lee Furness, and their children, Oscar (23) and Ava (18), as well as a select group of close friends. According to Jackman’s representative, it was a “lovely evening.”
The End of an Era: Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, who were married for 27 years, announced their separation on September 15. In a joint statement, they expressed their continued love for each other despite the decision to part ways.
The statement read, “We have been fortunate to share nearly three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful and loving marriage. Our journey is now changing, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our top priority. We take on this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.”
The couple initially met on the set of the Australian TV show “Correlli” in 1995 and began dating shortly after. They tied the knot on April 11, 1996, in a private ceremony in Melbourne, Australia, and expanded their family by adopting two children, Oscar in 2000 and Ava in 2005.
