Hugh Gushes Over Her Every Time
One of the happiest days of my life! If only topped by the birth of our kids. #thedebs #happyanniversary #family
After 21 years of wedded bliss, Jackman still blushes when he talks about his wife. The union has produced two beautiful children: Oscar, who is 17, and Ava, 12. Early on in the marriage, the couple struggled with infertility, but they have always been open for adoption.
Deb and I believe every child deserves a safe, loving and permanent family! @adoptchangeau
Hugh told People magazine he wants his children to grow up to be confident and self-aware adults.
I want to tell my kids that, … it doesn’t matter what sexual orientation you are; it doesn’t matter what job you do, it doesn’t matter whether your hair is straight or curly, if you’re tall or short, man or woman, what race you are. What defines you as a human being is underneath all that.

He reveals that their friendship stood the test of time because they got together before he was famous.
To the love of my life. 21 glorious years. I love you with all my heart.
One of the great pieces of fortune in my career, it started late, but that Deb and I were already set together, a team, madly in love, like literally before it all happened. We can see all the ups and downs for what they are. Our priority is our family, and we’re there for each other no matter what.
He also reminds himself that without the support of his children, he wouldn’t be as successful. If we have learned anything from this story, it’s this: True love always has your back, no matter what.
