Hugh Jackman is sharing his Christmas plans this year with fans and it’s safe to say that things are not the same as they used to be, the star has gone on to admit.

Jackman’s shocking split from his wife Deborah Lee had people talking and now that he’s newly single and yet to mingle, he’s talking about how it’s tougher than it appears.

The star says he’s alone this year and things just don’t feel the same. That festive vibe is nowhere to be seen. And he does regret not being with the people he used to once call his own.

But with time, things will get better, he hopes. And in the time being, he’s found his shoulder to lean and cry on. It’s none other than his good old gal pal named Pat who he happens to know for years.

The star shared images from his lonely but peaceful Christmas table where he was in high spirits while spreading glad tidings amongst his fans.

Posting images to Instagram, he put out more pictures on how it was a very subtle festive season for him this year, unlike what he’s accustomed to seeing each year.

Hugh and Pat have been friends for so many years. They’ve also attended plenty of public events like Broadway shows together. The actor is similarly good friends with her husband and whenever the trio unite and sit together for some laughs, they always have a splendid time he explained.

“This year I’m taking it slow and being grateful for all the blessings in my life. Life goes by in the blink of an eye. And sometimes you just need to relax, the star mentioned.

The bittersweet solo images were shared through the star’s social media account. And that’s when fans were quick to pour love, support, and just glad tidings for them all.
