Just been announced in Daily Mail - shocked me to be honest. Always thought they were solid and made to last!

Apparently their youngest just turned 18, so possibly this has been planned for a while.

I thought this, to be honest. But I'm surprised. I thought they'd make it.

What. The. Fuck.

honestly I’ve had the worst day in the fucking world and this news is the cherry on the top of the horse shit. I honestly believed they were happy. That he was faithful and I’m sure the truth will eventually reveal it was all a pack of lies.

I'm sorry you've had a shit day and I hope tomorrow is better - but honestly, this is only one of the reasons why it's best not to get emotionally invested in the lives of strangers.

Raffyash1 · 15/09/2023 21:18

Maybe they loved each other enough to let each other go.

Twofoursixeight · 15/09/2023 21:23

Well, today I have learned a new term, thanks Mumsnet .

So, which other celebrities are (allegedly) in lavender marriages then?

Quitelikeacatslife · 15/09/2023 21:23

Geez, one holiday in Yorkshire and decide to call it a day, final straw?

DarkDarkNight · 15/09/2023 21:26

I’m surprised people are shocked at this. I thought it was a pretty open secret that he is gay.

Meowandthen · 15/09/2023 21:28

He isn’t gay. He was a known swordsman before he married.

Being able to sing and dance doesn’t mean a man is gay. 🙄

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 15/09/2023 21:32

On what basis do those posters saying it was well known he was gay say he was gay?

Cos if it's because he can sing and dance, that's the biggest pile of stereotyping crap going.

fortheloveofflowers · 15/09/2023 19:56

I didn’t even know he was married to a woman, I thought he was gay!

Same

Ozgirl75 · 15/09/2023 21:35

I’m reminded of that episode of Sex and the City when Charlotte dates a pastry chef and can’t figure out if he’s gay and he says something like “I’m a pastry chef, and I live in the Village, in New York. If I was gay, I’d BE gay”

SpringViolet · 15/09/2023 21:37

Wow, so people think he’s gay because of the Greatest Showman??

But he was Wolverine too!

fufulina · 15/09/2023 21:38

I thought it was common knowledge he was gay? It’s a marriage of convenience? Anyway - good luck to them both.

fufulina · 15/09/2023 21:39

And hilarious that a ‘known swordsman’ can’t possibly be gay. Lol.

Is "swordsman" a euphemism?! 😉

CalishataFolkart · 15/09/2023 21:46

Why do people always forget that bisexual people exist? If it turns out he’s not 100% heterosexual, that doesn’t mean their marriage was lavender or some kind of sham.

I love Hugh, I went to see him at the O2 a few years ago, it was the campest night ever, and the bits when he went on about loving his wife was so obviously inserted with a huge wink. Anyway, I wish them both well, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this has something to do with tomorrow’s revelations. Schofe 2:0 sadly

I have it on good authority who and what tomorrow's revelations will be about. Nothing to do with Hugh Jackman if this (usually very reliable) person is to be believed.

He really did holiday in north Yorkshire, he went to the Wensleydale cheese factory for a trip out. It's a lovely trip out I don't blame him. Beautiful cheese and views!

Show quote history

Yes he stayed in a hotel near Skipton for a few days. It is about 5 minutes from where I live. I was a bit surprised as didn't think the hotel was that great and not an amazing location. He went for a walk on the canal as well. The hotel put a post on Facebook and said he was there with his family.

He was on holiday alone near Skipton last week . Thought it was strange

He was with his children

gabsdot45 · 15/09/2023 22:11

Hugh is available!!!!!
He's the one man I'd leave DH for.

Seriously though. This is sad. My kids are the same ages, as his and are also adopted, boy and girl so I've always felt an affinity with that family.
I am sorry to hear this.

This is sadder than the divorce.

I suspect you are not his type.

You don’t have to say who, but will it be a juicy revelation or not?

Me too, I googled it, learn something new everyday! Wouldn't be at all surprised if he was gay.

EconomyClassRockstar · 15/09/2023 22:22

It's a shame. I really liked them as couple. And Ashton Kutcher has quit his position with Thorn and that's a shame too. It's a celebrity crash today!

Womencanlift · 15/09/2023 19:43

I’m surprised that people are surprised. I thought it was common knowledge that it was a lavender marriage

If their child has just turned 18 then I suppose that makes it the right time for them

If everyone knows it’s a lavender marriage what’s the point of it?
