It’s quite natural to feel a sense of ambivalence while celebrating a birthday, particularly after a significant life change. Hugh Jackman recently celebrated his 55th birthday in New York City, and while it may have been a bittersweet moment for him, he was surrounded by close friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who offered him unwavering support. This heartwarming display of camaraderie is a reminder that even in difficult times, true friendships endure.
After being married to Deborra-Lee Furness for 27 years, the star of “The Greatest Showman” is now dealing with the emotional aftermath of their separation.
The news of their recent decision to go their separate ways came as a shock to many, leaving fans feeling sympathetic towards Hugh’s situation.
For his big day, he decided to keep it low-key with a comfortable yet stylish look. He donned a pair of black Under Armour sweatpants, paired with a matching jacket and a muted gray shirt. His outfit was completed with a simple pair of black sneakers, making him look effortlessly casual.
Hugh’s attire was simple and understated, while Blake exuded an air of autumn elegance. The popular actress from Gossip Girl was spotted wearing a beautiful brown turtleneck sweater, paired with light blue jeans. Her tan and black boots were laced up perfectly, making it easy for her to take a relaxing stroll through the bustling streets of New York City.
Her blonde locks flowed in natural waves as she completed her look with a cross-body purse and chic black sunglasses to shield her eyes.
At 46 years old, Ryan Reynolds, renowned for his iconic portrayal of Deadpool, brought a touch of eccentricity to the group’s overall fashion sense.
Ryan looked effortlessly stylish in his ensemble. His khaki trousers perfectly complemented his knit sweater, which featured an embroidered cowboy depiction. To finish off his look, he opted for a pair of white sneakers and a gray beanie. Interestingly, he was seen carrying a small pink jacket, adding a pop of color to his outfit.
Ryan and Hugh’s connection runs deeper than a simple birthday walk. The two are slated to reunite on the big screen once again in the highly anticipated Deadpool 3.
Fans are filled with excitement, particularly because of their unforgettable performance in the 2009 movie, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”
Hugh told People magazine about their on-screen reunion, “I think it’s fair to say they’ll be punching each other the whole time.”
“All jokes aside,” he added with a smile, “I’ll probably have more fun on this movie than any other I’ve ever done.”
Hugh was recently seen with Blake and Ryan at the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets football game, where other celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Shawn Levy also made an appearance.
Hugh’s divorce declaration
However, underlying these seemingly happy times comes the unmistakable anguish of a recent breakup.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee announced their separation on September 15. They told People magazine, “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.”
“Our journey is changing, and we’ve decided to split up to pursue our individual growth.” Our family has always been and will always be our top focus. With thanks, love, and kindness, we embark on the next chapter.”
The couple met on the set of Correlli in 1995 and married a year later. They’ve adopted two children throughout the years: Oscar, now 23, and Ava, now 18. According to recent reports, Hugh is writing a memoir about this new chapter in his life.
