For 26 years has Hugh Jackman (53) been married to actress Deborra-Lee Furness (66). Together they also have children Oscar (21) and Ava (16).
Several times throughout their long marriages, the Australian duo have had to endure a number of rumors related to their relationship, especially around the “X-Man” star’s sexuality. Many have claimed that Jackman is gay.
Furness has previously hit this hard, and now she is doing it again.

The 66-year-old blames the tabloids for continuing to perpetuate the false rumors about her husband.
– How can people just invent it? It surprises me that these magazines are still getting away with it. What they sell is injury joy. And misery. People must want to buy this because it makes them feel better about themselves.
Furthermore, Furness said that if Jackman had been gay, he would have stood up and been proud of it.
– If he was gay, he would have been gay. He had not hidden in the closet, she explained, according to the website, and jokingly added:
– And he had dated Brad Pitt or someone like that.

Jackman and Furness met for the first time in 1995 on the set of the Australian television series “Corelli”, and the chemistry between them arose immediately.
