They have been married since 1996 and things are still going strong between Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness. While at a gala that was honoring his lovely wife for her work with orphans, Hugh shared the best parenting advice he had ever been given.

“Make sure you have a date night just the two of you together, without the kids,” Hugh, 41, says during the Worldwide Orphans Foundation Benefit Gala held this week at NYC’s Capitale. “And don’t be afraid to tell your kids that you have no idea what you’re doing either.”

Jackman also shared that the family spends plenty of quality time together. Even when he has to work on Halloween.

“I’m going to be trick-or-treating, but I’ll actually be onstage performing [in A Steady Rain] on Saturday night,” he says. “I’ll help them get dressed. My daughter this morning decided she wanted to be a muffin. I said, ‘what flavor?’ and she said ‘chocolate chip.’”

Hugh and Deborra-Lee have two adopted children, Oscar, 9, and Ava, 4.
