He and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, are parents to two adopted children.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness married in 1996 after meeting on the set of Australian television show, Correlli.
Following two miscarriages, Furness and Hugh decided to adopt.
In 2000, the couple adopted their first child – a son, Oscar Jackman.
According to Now To Love, Oscar met his birth family for the first time in 2020, reportedly sharing a photo of the moment to his Instagram account – which is now private – at the time.
Hugh and Furness adopted Ava Jackman in 2005.
Furness is a large advocate for adoption, founding the National Adoption Awareness Week in Australia and working to make the process both faster and more fair.

Furness and Hugh met in 1995 on the set of her 10-episode Australian television show, Correlli, in which she played prison psychologist Louisa Correlli.
The couple went on to tie the knot on April 11, 1996 in a ceremony in the Toorak suburb of Melbourne.
Hugh designed an engagement ring for Furness, with their wedding rings carrying a Hindu inscription that translates to: “we dedicate our union to a greater source”.
In 2017, rumors began to spread that the couple had split and were living in separate homes.
At the time, Hugh denied the allegations, saying: “This story is 100 percent fabricated.”
