‘It’s a very sensitive time,’ a family friend told the publication yesterday.

‘The family want to be there for her.’

The 47-year-old movie star is currently in Australia filming the forthcoming Wolverine sequel.

He and Deborah-Lee have been married for 20 years and share two adopted children, son Oscar, 16, and daughter Ava, 10.
