“We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” the pair’s joint statement began. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority,” the statement 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 in all of our lives.”
They signed the statement “Deb and Hugh Jackman,” and noted, “This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
