The couple has been together for an impressive 22 years, celebrating their casually dressed wedded bliss on April 11.

Jackman's Journey to Finding True Love

Hugh Jackman’s journey to finding love wasn’t always a smooth ride, but he’s learned that the right person makes all the difference. “When you're dating, you're always putting your best foot forward. You're dancing your best moves, wearing your best clothes,” he joked. “But the real test is, can you transition from that version of yourself to the real you? The one in tracksuit pants, chilling on the couch.”

Meeting Deborra-lee: Love at First Sight

For Hugh, meeting Deborra-lee was a life-changing moment. It was 1995, and from the very first day, they shared an unshakable connection. “Deb and I had that comfortable feeling right from the start,” he reminisced. In a previous exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, Hugh elaborated on their instant chemistry. “There was something that clicked between us instantly. It was that rare sensation where you know, deep down, this is the kind of person you want in your life. Forever.”

Our top priority has always been our family, and we’ve always been there for each other, no matter what.”
