Hugh Jackman's Wife Deborra Lee-Furness Addresses Rumors About His Sexuality

Hugh Jackman has faced rumors about his sexuality and tabloid stories that he is secretly gay, and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness is now speaking out.

“He’s been gay so many years,” she said said while laughing during interview on Anh’s Brush With Fame. “I was gay, too. You know when I did Shame? I was gay. They were shocked when I got married.”

“It’s just wrong. It’s like someone saying to Elton John, ‘He’s straight.’ I’m sure he’d be pissed,” Deborra-Lee responded.

Hugh, 51, and Deborra-Lee, 64, met on the set of Correlli in 1995. They married the next year.

“We just had this amazing connection,” she said about meeting Hugh. “And I feel blessed that I experienced, that I feel like I met my soulmate, whatever that is.”

Hugh once spoke about how he keeps his marriage to his wife strong and healthy.
