There are few things I love more in this world than a handsome man who loves his wife. Not his wife that's a Instagram influencer or a Sports Illustrated cover girl, but a man who loves his real, down-to-earth, beautiful wife — you know, the just like us "normal" women.
One of the men who do that the best is stud and Hollywood heavy-hitter Hugh Jackman, who never fails to make us swoon with his declarations of love to his wife.
“Deb, she was a big star. I get picked up, and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I’ll never forget,” he recalled to People.
Despite Hugh having seemingly instant feelings for Deb, he wasn't sure if the blonde bombshell would ever feel the same.
That night, Hugh came clean about his feelings toward the actress after she accused him of "ignoring" her.
"She goes, 'Oh? Because I've got a crush on you too.' I never in a million years thought she reciprocated," he recalled on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
However, the wedding almost didn't happen as Deb tried to break up with the actor after three weeks of dating.
Obviously, they worked it out.
"Until you go through it, you realize [infertility is] not talked about a lot.… And it [was] a difficult time," Hugh told Katie Couric of his wife's journey with infertility after trying to have children in her forties.
The emotional and physical toll this took on the couple led them to adoption. They adopted a boy and a girl, Oscar Maximillian and Ava Eliot. According to Hugh, adoption was always on the table for them.
“Our motivation behind adopting was, ‘Where is the need?’ ” the Les Mis star told People back in 2017.
“I believe in life and I want to tell my kids that your personality is interesting, it in some way very much defines you, the color of your skin, whether you’re a male, whether you’re a female, but that’s not who you really are,” he continued. “What really defines you is beneath all that.”
Though he keeps his personal life private, it's no secret the actor is an incredibly proud father.
Now, the actor is giving his wife a sweet tribute to celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary, like he always does.
He's just such a sweetie!
"Every single day is filled with so much laughter, joy and backgammon! Deb you light up my life. I love you with all my heart!" he concluded.
