Australian actor of British nationality Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have announced their divorce by mutual consent, according to a statement shared exclusively by People magazine.
In the press release, the couple, who have been married for 27 years, explain that this is a decision in which their family will always be their priority. They are both parents of two adopted children: Oscar (23) and Ava (18).

“Our family has been and will always be our top priority. We take on this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family goes through this transition in all of our lives.” The statement was signed simply as “Deb and Hugh Jackman”.
