They had a strong, loving relationship that did not meet age expectations, which invited unnecessary speculation. 

How did Hugh Jackman address the speculation?

Hugh Jackman has continuously responded to the speculation over the years with a sense of humor but a firm tone.

During an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, he said:

• “If I was gay, I would be.
  Jackman - who is a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights - has poked fun at the rumours over the years (pictured with his personal trainer in 2017) 

  In 2003, Jackman was happily married to Deborra-Lee Furness but was playing openly gay singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy from Oz on Broadway

  Speaking about taking on the role at the time, he mused: 'Some people said, "It's brave of you to play a gay man." And I think that's very dated.

  He has said that Jackman has not done any of this in public, and he said, at past public-like events, that he does not ever intend to disavow past speculation, and to this day, no reputable reporter has ever claimed to have evidence.

  The fact of the matter is very simple: Jackman is a very private man and refuses the impressions of rumour.

  He is warm, kind, and confident, traits many narrow-minded fans use to label someone’s sexuality. 

• Hollywood gossip culture: Rumours generally come from the entertainment industry; there’s a culture of speculation for everyone within an industry, free of compelling reasons. Furness said yes, and they married in 1996.

  However, speculation still swirls that Jackman is gay, and it seems like no matter what he says, there'll always be a contingent of doubters questioning his honesty. The Show in 2019.

  Addressing the crowd at London's O2 Arena, Jackman, 56, winked and said: 'I know what you're all thinking...

  Since their split and prior to her divorce filing, she and Jackman have reportedly been spending more time together in private and have been 'inseparable,' the insider claimed.

  The source added that the pair keep a low profile and 'sneak around.'

  Speculation about the couple's relationship first began in Broadway circles while Foster was starring in The Music Man alongside Jackman.

  

  It’s just wrong.”

All of these statements illustrated that Jackman has never been ashamed or defensive about the rumours surrounding his sexuality, deciding to treat the rumours as an unfortunate consequence of being in the public eye.

Hugh Jackman’s marriage and children

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were married in 1996 and had been in a relationship for nearly three decades when they announced their separation in 2023.

After discovering his love for acting, he went to the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) for training and graduated in 1994.

I do get frustrated for Deb, cause I see Deb go, "Ah, this is just crazy!"' 

Furness addressed the rumours on Anh's Brush with Fame, rolling her eyes and exclaiming: 'I see these magazines and they're so mean-spirited… I hope people realise it's all made up.

She added: '[Hugh's] been gay for so many years, I was gay too when I did [the 1988 film] Shame.

It’s everywhere!,'” he added, nothing that the Australian actress would peruse the internet often and spiral afterwards.

However, Furness later on appeared to have a better sense of humor about the chatter surrounding Jackman’s sexuality.

During a Q&A on Anh’s Brush With Fame in 2020, the mother of two reportedly quipped of her then-husband, “He’s been gay so many years.

If he was gay, he would be. They were shocked when I got married.”

However, Furness then put the jokes aside to reiterate that the persistent badgering was “just wrong.”

 “It’s like someone saying to Elton John, ‘He’s straight.’ I’m sure he’d be pissed,” she said at the time.

Jackman and Furness met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series “Correlli” and appeared to have a happy marriage for nearly three decades.

Their 13-year age gap was always a topic of discussion amongst the peanut gallery, but “Wolverine” star maintained that he was the more mature one in the relationship.

“She’s just like a little kid,” he told People in 2017.

In a statement to People, the Australian actors said they'd "decided to separate to pursue our individual growth." They shared that they were grateful for their time together and vowed to "undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness." Per Bustle, the two met in 1995 on the set of the Aussie TV show, "Correlli." Despite the 11-year age difference between Jackman and Furness, it was love at first sight, and after four months of dating, he proposed.

With charm and natural presence on screen, Jackman was an instant hit with audiences and producers alike. is he? It’s annoying because it’s not true.”

In a separate interview with the Hollywood Reporter that same year, Jackman shared that the rumors about him being gay had started to take a toll on his then-wife.

“Just recently, it bugs her,” the “Greatest Showman” star told the outlet at the time.

Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage, and loyalty is an incredible gift to me." Still, five months later, they were done.
