Hugh's Your Daddy
This could be Wolverine's toughest assignment yet: raising a daughter.
X-Men hero Hugh Jackman and wife Deborra-lee Furness have adopted a second child together, daughter Ava Eliot. She was born July 10.
"They are very happy," Jackman's rep, John Palermo told E! News Wednesday.
Australia's Herald Sun reported earlier this week that the latest member of the Jackman clan was born in Texas, though the actor's rep did not confirm Ava's birthplace.
Jackman, 36, and Furness, 45, adopted a son, Oscar Maximillian, in May 2000.
The Down Under couple married in 1996 after costarring in the Aussie TV series Correlli.
Their daughter's happy arrival comes not long after another high-profile celeb adoption: Angelina Jolie took custody of her Ethiopian daughter Zahara Marley Jolie earlier this month.
The Sydney-based Jackman has a busy year ahead. In addition to diaper duty, the actor has six films on his plate, including X-Men 3 and the franchise spinoff Wolverine. He will also headline the just announced Andrew Lloyd Webber musical remake of Sunset Boulevard opposite Ewan McGregor.
Most recently, Jackman has been in London filming Woody Allen's untitled fall project alongside Scarlett Johansson.
For her part, Furness recently returned to the acting scene after a five-year break, starring in the Australian film Jindabyne.
