Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee (Hugh often calls her Deb) Furness have been married for almost 23 years. They met on the set of a television show in Australia called Correlli in 1995. They got married just about a year later on April 11, 1996. They seem still very much in love. So, what is their secret for a long and happy marriage?

Hugh says that Deb never lets the busy couple be apart for more than two weeks. He says it was her idea all those years ago. After the pair met on Correlli, only a few weeks into their relationship Deb decided to move to New York. She asked Hugh if he thought their relationship was going anywhere and if he would move with her.

Another thing that has led to their happy marriage? Hugh says they agree to always be 100% honest with each other at all times. He says that sometimes it can be embarrassing or shameful, but trust is the most important thing in a relationship. If you can’t fess up to your partner, who can you fess up to?
