Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have just celebrated 21 years of marriage…

But the duo seem to be just as smitten as they were when they first fell in love all those years back.

The couple ramped up their date night by heading to the Met Gala this week.

The Aussie pair turned heads on the red carpet.

Later that evening the pair were snapped by Humans of New York‘s Brandon Stanton, when the 48-year-old actor spoke about his wife – and this is the part where you get the tissues out.

“She has so much courage,” he was heard telling Brandon.

“Every f—— day. No matter what she’s facing, she will never burden anyone else with it.”

Hugh married the now 61-year-old back in 1996, and it seems time has only cemented their commitment.

And that love is extended to their two adopted children, Oscar Maximillian, 16, and Ava Eliot, 11.

The couple adore being parents to their two kids Oscar and Ava.

Last month they rang in their marriage milestone by hitting the courts for game of tennis.

Hugh shared a swoon-worthy tribute on Instagram to mark the day.

Taking to the social media site on Tuesday, April 11, penned: “To the love of my life. 21 glorious years. I love you with all my heart.”

In fact, Hugh really can’t stop gushing about his leading lady.

“It gets better and better, I can honestly say that,” he told Ellen last year.

“She’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”

A few years back he melted hearts when admitted to Good Housekeeping: “If anyone meets my wife, they’re like, ‘You’re all right, Hugh, but your wife is awesome.’ Everyone who meets her loves her.”
