Just like other actors and actresses, Jackman had a "major" crush on the woman who would later become his wife. He said the entire crew had a crush on Furness, which made him hesitate to tell her about his true feelings for an entire week. When he finally decided to tell her that he liked her, it turned out that Furness, who is over 10 years older than Jackman, had a crush on the newbie too.
Finally, April of 1996, the Furness said "I Do" and 20 years later, the couple are still happy, sweet, and have two kids, Oscar, 15, and Ava, 10.
On Wednesday, the couple touched down in Sydney and some paparazzi took snaps of the two as they walked through the airport. According to The Daily Mail, they appeared to be "intense" at first as they talked but it didn't take long for the warm atmosphere to sink in as Jackman tenderly cupped Furness' face into his hands. The two also looked happy after the intense conversation, erasing any doubts about their blissful relationship.
