While the public eye around Hugh Jackman had been pretty fixed on the release of his next film, Deadpool & Wolverine, coming out next month, a new speed bump in the actor’s life has had fans giving him some personal support. This will be Hugh Jackman’s first movie since revealing that he and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness have decided to end their marriage after nearly 30 years together. Knowing how emotionally difficult such a change can be, fans on social media have provided an outpouring of support for Jackman in wishing him the best.

An Outpouring Of Support During Trying Times

While announcement of the end of the marriage of Hugh Jackman and his wife came last year, Jackman has been pretty quiet on the subject. Not one to do tell all interviews, he has kept his personal feelings largely to himself. But it does seem pretty revealing that this is his first film since that time, and fans are expressing compassion for what a complex mix of emotions that must be for the actor.

Fans Are Excited About Deadpool & Wolverine

Jackman recently shared an Instagram post of himself partially in costume, promoting that Deadpool & Wolverine is just one month away. Underneath the image, fans exuberantly commented to the actor how excited they were for the release. His followers clearly wanted to express that even after Hugh Jackman’s separation from his wife, that they are still there for him.

As far as details about what led to the separation, Hugh Jackman and his former wife Deborra-Lee Furness have kept those specifics pretty private. In fact, they released a joint statement about the subject that demonstrated a very mature, amicable approach to an assuredly emotionally messy situation.

Keeping Things On The Private Side

“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage,” Hugh Jackman and former wife Deborra-Lee Furness said in a joint statement. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.” Rather than expressing bitterness about what went wrong, the couple clearly wish to be appreciative for what they were able to enjoy for as long as they did.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority,” Hugh Jackman and his now ex-wife continued. “We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.” The couple also made it clear that this will be their one and only commentary on the subject. So clearly neither of them wishes to have their personal lives become the focal point of their careers.

Fans Focusing On Jackman’s Career

There have been countless other examples of Hollywood couples who have seen their marriages fall apart in far less graceful fashion. Fans seem relieved and complimentary of both Hugh Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness for handling the situation as well as they can. Comments online have largely refrained from any baseless speculation or trying to pit people against either member of the former couple. Fans seem supportive of the decision and happy to focus on Jackman’s film career.

Grateful For Fan Excitement

For Hugh Jackman’s part, he likely welcomes the opportunity to focus on something new beyond whatever circumstances led to separating from his wife. In his posts, he comes off happy to be back acting again, grateful for the excitement of fans for his upcoming projects, and enthusiastic about the future. Fan attention has largely been very respectful and extremely excited about the release of Deadpool & Wolverine.

This crossover has been long anticipated, and fans seem quite relieved to be able to enjoy it without any messy public breakup details overshadowing anything.
