She is very grounded. Our family matters more than anything - and I mean anything," Jackman said. "At the Oscars in 2009, when I put my hand on my heart, that's a sign to Debs out there, a reminder that this is what matters and that all the rest - the awards and the money and the fame - may come and go.

There'll be time when I'm flavour of the month, times when I'm not. But Debs and my kids are what matters to me," he added. The couple have adopted two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava.
