After nearly 24 years together, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have found the secret to a long and happy relationship -- but it might not be what you expect.

"I'm always reeling in how funny she is and how amazing she is and how smart she is," he gushed about her. "The longer it goes on, the better it gets."
