Here’s The Real Reason Hugh Jackman Separated From His Wife Of 27 Years, According To Reports

Covid-19 Reportedly Put A 'Strain' On Their Relationship

Akin to Joe and Sophie's divorce, many sources are speculating about what could have gone wrong in Hugh and Deborra's marriage too. And if we are to believe an insider who reportedly spoke to the Daily Mail, their marriage was reportedly "broken" during the Covid-19 pandemic, when lockdown put a "strain" on their relationship.

"They are forever linked, forever together with the children they have," an insider told the outlet, before going on to claim that their love simply turned into "friendship" during the pandemic, especially over lockdown.

"But after the past few years, the love they had for each other turned more into a friendship which got broken during Covid as the lockdown didn't help their marriage at all and really put a strain on their relationship," the source continued, before going on to say that the writers' strike, which has impacted so many people, was also partly to blame.

"They worked on it and couldn't get it back. The strikes haven't helped one bit, it got them in the same predicament as Covid did, to where they were just kicking the tires, and Hugh found it all to not have the same magic as they once had," the insider added, partly in reference to Jackman's latest project, Deadpool 3, being shut down due to the writers' strike.

It wasn’t just one-sided either, as the insider said, "Deb had similar concerns and thoughts and separating is the best option." There are no hard feelings between the now exes either, as the source said "they will never talk negatively about each other, just time has passed for them and they are now accepting that fate."
