Nothing lasts forever.

They used to live around the corner from me in Melbourne, you’d see them completely wrapped in each other - literally and figuratively - all over the place, making friends at the market and the burger shop. Seeing that made me fully believe in them tho, whatever it was, it was True Love for a while

Didn’t his dad die recently as well? Grief can effect a relationship in strange ways as well. He was on the Graham Norton show promoting a movie earlier this year and I definitely had the impression he hadn’t fully processed his grief.

I don't know when she got her face work done but she seems to be rocking it and looking sexier than ever, maybe the kids are grown and she wants to GET IT. Go get it!

I'm not actually sad about this? I think? I feel like maybe they've known it's over a while but are still totally amicable and there's tons of love between them. Their youngest just turned eighteen, as others have said, and also I just want to drop this here: as someone who is pansexual and has been married to a cishet man, you can like any or all genders and that doesn't have to be the reasons you all call it quits. Maybe they just wanna move on to different phases of their lives and will remain good friends. That is lovely, too, and not all loves are life-long romances.

I agree with you that love does not have to equal romance. But it took me pretty long to figure that out in my own life :)

I agree that it is not a coincidence that they are splitting as their youngest child turns 18. Happens all the time.

If the rumours have some truths, he’ll come out has bi or pan. Next phase of his life with a boyfriend. Now who ? Genie’ing Rowan Farrow

Same for her...

Isn't Ronan Farrow with podcaster John Lovett? I'm pretty sure they bought Vanessa Hudgens's fabulous house.

Oh yeah, you're right. They broke up earlier this year.

Rowan has been publishing thirst trap all summer. This is why I thought he was single

Oh, no! Honestly, hearing about Ronan and John breaking up makes me more sad than Hugh and Deb.

They haven’t announced anything but it doesn’t seem like they’re together anymore🥲

I am rooting for them through this… if I had to genie who’s next for Hugh… I’d Sheryl Crow single? I know this is so random but she just popped into my head… I see him with someone talented, strong but chill. I’m actually laughing at Sheryl Crow as I have not thought about her in forever until this moment.

Hmm... I hope that regardless of the reasons behind the split and whether or not the rumors that have persisted about him are true, that they are at peace with their decision and that there is joy in their next steps individually. I have only ever heard positive anecdotes about Jackman and am more interested in his relationship with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively (the latter whom I have not heard such nice things, and who honestly, does kind of seem like an entitled pill). Whenever I read (or am privy to) kind things about public figures, since it's such a rarity, I always root for their happiness!

Unsubstantiated claims regarding Bradley Cooper's personal life have also cropped up before and if they were to be true (as with Jackman), my goodness I would gossip genie them! I think Charlize Theron or Jennifer Aniston would be great for the whole Hollywood glitz of it all. Or like, Garcelle Beauvais just to get back at that cheating mess of an ex!

Hugh and Bradley. IMAGINE!? God that would be epic. But I think they’d both go younger if they were to go that way at all. 🧞‍♂️ 🧞 🧞‍♀️ (👈 are gossip genies)

I love gossip genie having its own emoji so I’m adopting it too. 😁

I’m really sad about this. They always seemed to be so deeply in love and he was always gushing about her. 💔

I had bought into their narrative and am sad to hear this! 💔

Love me a gossip genie but it feels too soon. As an adoptive parent with a long infertility journey, I loved that Hugh was relatively transparent about their fertility and ivf struggles before adoption and their intentionality with how they adopted. Sincerely sad about this one and hoping good things for both Hugh and Deborra-Lee as their family moves forward.
