No, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness didn’t renew their wedding vows on Monday, which was their 20th anniversary. They did one better, in our minds, by jetting to the Caribbean for a second honeymoon.

The Wolverine star and his actress wife, who tied the knot on April 11, 1996, in their native Australia, held hands and hugged as they took a dip in the St. Barts surf. The lovebirds, who had on matching black swimsuits, emerged from the water laughing and gabbing.

Let’s hope the leading man had on a lot of sunscreen in light of his skin cancer woes.
Jackman gave a shout-out to his blushing bride on Instagram Monday, posting a black-and-white photo from their wedding day and writing “20 years ago on this day …” They met in 1995 while filming the Aussie TV series Correlli. Despite their 13-year age gap (he’s 47; she’s 60), sparks flew, and he proposed four months later.

Jackman recently told Australia’s Daily Telegraph that they were taking a romantic getaway — as in no kids — to mark their milestone anniversary.
“It’ll be just the two of us,” the father of two said. “We love the kids, but they can rack off and find something else to do for a week. We want to relive our honeymoon.”
Besides, Jackman can actually use a restful beach vacation. In late March, while on Bondi Beach in Sydney, he had to save his 15-year-old son, Oscar, and other beachgoers, including his 10-year-old daughter, Ava, from dangerous surf.
