"Wolverine" star Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-Lee Furnace have been married for 21 years and their relationship is still strong as ever. Recently in an interview, Jackman opened up about his relationship with Deborah revealing that he is still madly in love with his wife as he was before their marriage thus, restoring our faith in true love.

Their journey began when the couple first met on the set of the Australian Drama "Corelli" 1995 and then everything clicked for them. They said their vows to each other on 11 April 1996 in the Toorak suburb of Melbourne. The couple adopted two children together, daughter Ava, 12 and son, Oscar, 17. One of the main reason that Jackman loves and respect his relationship with Deborah is that the couple formed their bond strong before the Wolverine star became famous.

Talking about his love for his wife, which for him happened like a magic, like it was supposed to happen, he said, "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 kind of 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."

Jackman told that he and his wife are like a team, facing the ups and downs of life together, not giving up on each other during the tough times and facing the world together and keeping their family a priority always.

Living their lives together as partners have made their relationship more strong with the passing time. Talking about his wife's role in his life, giving her credit for his success, he told "Even at the Oscars, I walk out, I put my hand on my heart and I always look to Deb in the audience. Straight afterwards, I will not see anybody in my dressing room until Deb’s been in. Because that is my foundation, that is the rock, that is the foundation of our family, and therefore my life."

For Jackman, Deborra is his safe haven, his rock, one who keeps him steady in life holding him strongly and helping him achieve the sky with their love together.

The star says that no matter how many ups and downs he faces in his career, he knows that his wife and his family would be always there for him. Achieving a stable career, all the fame and loving family was also not an easy path for Jackman. Growing up in a broken household he has seen his fair share of sadness, all the more reason for him to hold onto his family tightly and not letting them go no matter how sticky the situation is.

In his past interview, Jackman told that he and Deborah has set some family rules and no matter what they have to follow it, one of which is Jackman will never be apart from his family for more than 2 weeks. Even if it's 36 hours, Jackman would have to fly home from the movie set. This family rule was set by Deborah, as being an actor herself, Deborra knew that how distance affects the relationship and she wanted to make sure that at least this factor never comes in with their love.
