He Met His Wife At His First Major Acting Job

Jackman's debut on television came in 1995 with the 10-episode, one-season prison drama Correlli. In the television show, Jackman portrayed Kevin Jones, a prisoner who had a romantic relationship with his psychologist, Deborra-Lee Furness, who is now his wife. The relationship between Jackman and Furness flourished both on and off the set. Furness first needed persuasion, but she quickly saw their love was meant to be. Less than a year later, in 1996, the couple were married, and they've been together ever since. Along the way, they watched Jackman's career take off and land him on the A-list while adopting Oscar Maximilian and Ava Eliot.

In addition to their timing being perfect, the Greatest Showman star believes that their initial love was also love at first sight. Before he was an A-lister in Hollywood, the couple exchanged vows, and as he put it, "I truly think it helps that we were together before all of that, so we've gone on this wonderful adventure, places we never dreamed we'd go to, and we've done it together.
