Geoffrey Rush's Married Life With Jane Menelaus
Geoffrey Rush, 66, and his wife, actress Jane Menelaus have been married for almost 30 years. They first met during a performance of The Benefactors.
The couple has two kids, a daughter, Angelica Rush (1991) and a son James Rush (1995). It's obvious that family responsibility increases after having kids. Jane kept her acting career on hold to raise her kids.
Rush is, no doubt, a loving and caring husband; also a proud father. He proved how much he loves his wife when he immediately returned home to Melbourne from England after learning that his wife required an urgent surgery for a life-threatening condition.
It was a shocking news for the couple when Jane was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was operated soon after the diagnosis in 2003 and now, she's become a cancer survivor.
Rush's rep said,
"Jane was only diagnosed last week, but she has already been operated on and is expected to make a full recovery."
Rush and his wife starred together in a Melbourne Theatre Company production of The Importance Of Being Earnest- Menelaus portraying the role of Rush and Miss Prism back in 2011.
There's nothing more amazing to see a lovely star-couple supporting every phase; every ups and down of life, isn't it?
Rush is now, virtually housebound. He barely eats anything after the publication of articles that allegedly stated the star took part in inappropriate behavior at a theatre.
The paper's coverage back in 2017 has totally devastated the actor. Well, his wife definitely might definitely be helping him overcome the stress and anxiety.
