Deborra-Lee Furness is Hugh Jackman’s Wife (PHOTOS)
Deborrah-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman
Deborra-Lee Furness, 54, has the distinction of being the wife of People magazine’s 2008 Sexiest Man Alive Hugh Jackman, 40.
Furness attended the Methodist Ladies’ College in Melbourne, Australia, and is also a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
The four time FCCA Award winner met Jackman in 1995 on the set of his first television acting job in the Australian TV show “Corelli.” The two married in April 1996.
Jackman personally designed an engagement ring for Furness, and their wedding rings bore the Sanskrit inscription “Om paramar mainamar,” translated as “we dedicate our union to a greater source.”
The couple has two adopted children, Oscar Maximilian (born 15 May 2000) and Ava Eliot (born 10 July 2005). They currently live in Manhattan, NY.

Deb is not 54. She is 48 or 49.
she’s wearing the same ugly shoes in almost all the pictures… jeez
Deb was born in 1954, you do the math….she IS pushing 55.
But, what difference does it make? They seem to be happy. It’s no different than an older mand marrying a much younger woman. I am Deb’s age, and I would marry a younger man if I truly loved him.
I met and fell in love with a man 10 years my junior. We loved each other very much, but because of the enigma placed socially, I bowed out of the relationship. I wish I had had the courgae to pay no attention to what others would think. I say, “Good for Hugh and Deb for following their hearts”. BTW, I still love this man, but he is married to another woman, and I to another man. It is so sad that “people” get in the way of others’ happiness.
Did I mention that I am Deb’s age?
I agree. It doesn’t matter the age difference. I believe women are jealous of Deb so they respond with such remarks regarding age or dress in an effort to make themselves feel better (that includes myself!).
P.S. Bsk, I do believe you meant “stigma,” not “enigma.”
