Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy recently opened about the actors’ bromance in an interview with Los Angeles Times at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.

"It’s f---ing real," Levy, 55, said of the duo's close-knit dynamic. “The guys love each other almost as much as Ryan Reynolds and I love each other. Because that bromance is a tale for all time.”

Hugh and Deborra-lee, who share son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18, broke the news of their separation in a statement exclusively shared with PEOPLE on Friday.

A day after announcing the news, Hugh was spotted on a walk in New York City without his wedding ring on.

Although it was a mutual decision for the Aussie pair to separate, a source close to Hugh and Deborra-lee recently told PEOPLE that they are "devastated" and that the split is "very hard" for them.

"It was not a snap decision — they took a lot of time and consideration of everything, and they made this decision together," the insider said. "They are going on separate journeys, but they will always be a family. They’ll always be co-parents and best friends."
