The rumors could be from people like Enty refusing to believe a gorgeous man could truly love an older, not quite as beautiful woman. Oh, and they adopted. Must be fake. Misogyny is a powerful thing.
Or maybe he is gay. That will make me sad not because he is but because they felt they had to deny so vehemently. Either way, hoping they can keep the kids protected. They had a good long run.

Why even address this? It's only gonna make it weird when he comes out. Or gets inadvertently outed. I can't believe that if he swings this direction she would be clueless.
Gay people getting married and having families but doing their own thing on the side has been a thing for like....ever.
Sometimes these marriages between friends last longer than the sex based ones that burn out. Ultimately it's their business.

or he might be bi. either way, i don't think he'll ever admit to it publicly, but probably because he's been denying it for so long and feels it's too late than anything else. but even if theirs was more of a companionship type marriage i do find it odd they would even bother to split unless one of them has met someone and it's serious.

I think and have always thought that he's either gay or bi. But is that even a big deal still? If so, mainly primarily because he's hidden and denied it forever.
I guess admitting it would sort of invalidate his marriage in some people's eyes. I would not think either of them would be overly concerned about this though.
Whatever their relationship is, it seems to be better than most, even now. So I think it would be great if he did come out.
I don't even think it would hurt his career. Or John Travolta's for that matter (if he did the same).

Another example is Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye-Smith. People can't understand that a man who was considered handsome enough to play James Bond could be head over heels for a very voluptuous woman therefore she must be his beard.

Brosnan kind of seems like one of the most monogamous family-oriented people in Hollywood. His own father had abandoned the family and then he was brought up by his grandparents. Maybe he was determined to not have his kids experience the same. When his first wife, Cassandra Harris, died (in 1991), he adopted her two kids. Ten years later, he married Keeley Shae Smith and had two children with her. They seem ridiculously happy. She was pretty slender when they got together, but even after she gained weight, he always looks like he is elated to have snagged her.

She's still an attractive woman. In the real world no one would bat an eye at this. Only shallow ass Hollywood.
Another reason he probably values his marriage and family is that he had such a harsh life growing up. He was pretty much abandoned by both his parents, his grandparents died, he went to an Irish catholic school where he suffered abuse. His life story is pretty interesting and it seems he dealt with a lot and therefore doesn't take things for granted as much as most famous people would.

She kind of reminds me of this term our daughter taught me this weekend - "Rizz". Which is kind of a charismatic, suave, flirtatious personality. I think it's usually used to describe guys, but I think that Keely and Pierce both have it.

Pearce and Keely Shaye Smith are ridiculously beautiful people, she just gained weight. It really does go to show how people are unforgivingly judgmental, a million times more so in the entertainment business.
Given that, I understand why Hugh Jackman might be anywhere from deeply closeted to having an understanding with his wife, and being deeply private not wanting to harm his career or family. Whatever the truth, it's nobody's business really and maybe they're digging their heels in on their privacy. At least it's nice that they seem genuinely amicable in splitting.

The other side is that the constant "he's gay, she's a beard" wore her down. I came imagine having to be under that type of speculation constantly. Horrible. [/quote]

I don't know, I find Deborra incredibly attractive. She's 67 now and maybe she's totally over the expectations she's facing on a daily basis because she married a younger guy who became famous. Maybe she found someone else, maybe he did, maybe she just wants to be left alone. We'll probably never know.

It's such a shame that she's not recognised in her own right other than as Jackman's alleged beard. She won awards before even meeting HJ, so I guess she was the catch; she campaigned for changes to adoption in Australia etc etc... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborra-Lee_Furness

Deborra was the star and he was a nobody when they got together. She'd been on TV for years and starred in one of the most critically-acclaimed and culturally challenging films of the late 20th century (Shame) and became a household name in Australia. He was the guy shaking his thang in The Boy From Oz.

See, I didn't know that. That sort of thing doesn't quite make it out of Australia to U.S. mainstream gossip knowledge unless I'd looked it up of course.
Thanks for the info. That changes my perception.
