As we previously stated, during the first several years of their marriage, Ava Eliot’s parents experienced a few miscarriages. It was only after two miscarriages that the couple decided to adopt, but adoption was always a possibility for the X-Men star.
Hugh Jackman discussed his and his wife Deborra’s path to becoming parents to two adopted daughters, Ava Eliot and Oscar, in an interview with People editor-in-chief Jess Cagle. The actor, 54, stated,
We immediately began [trying] when we were together due to her age. We suffered, had a few miscarriages, and found that IVF was difficult. It was undoubtedly challenging, especially for Deb.
“I remember saying to her, ‘We were always going to adopt, let’s just adopt now,'” AD Jackman added in his memory.
