Hugh Jackman, Deborra-lee Furness quietly split $36m pad
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have started divvying up their real estate assets amid their divorce.
According to The Real Deal, the couple are splitting their New York City penthouse.
The transaction took place just two days after Furness formally filed for divorce on May 23. The residence, for its part, was not listed for sale, the New York Post reports.
Property records reveal the 'Correlli' actress paid $US11.7 million ($A18 million) to the limited liability company (LLC) that the pair used to buy their sprawling residence in 2022 for $US21 million.
The apartment is now valued at around $US23.6 million ($A36 million), according to People, indicating that Furness has bought the 'X-Men' actor out.
Located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood, the three-bedroom pad spans 5,000 square feet across two floors with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
The apartment features a private elevator entrance, a library that can convert to a fourth bedroom, and a chef's kitchen with a breakfast bar.
The primary suite includes a massive dressing room and a spa-style bathroom outfitted with six fixtures.
Outdoor space, spread across 3,700 square feet, has a main-floor terrace, a loggia and a rooftop deck complete with an outdoor kitchen — all offering front-row views of the river.
The news comes after the former couple reportedly struggled to see eye-to-eye on how to divide their $US250 million ($A387 million) fortune.
The pair have now reached an agreement. According to the documents, the divorce is uncontested and will require only a sign-off from a judge.
The Manhattan penthouse is one of the former couple's impressive properties.
The pair acquired homes around the world, including in the US, UK and Australia.
It is believed that they still own a waterfront pad in Bondi Beach, Hamptons beach house and second apartment in New York City's West Village.
That Perry Street property, which records show they bought in 2010, was listed for $US38.9 million in 2022.
According to US real estate company StreetEasy, it quietly came off the market in April 2024 after a series of price cuts.
Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, announced their separation in 2023 after 27 years of marriage, citing a desire to pursue 'individual growth' while maintaining mutual respect and love. Their shocking split came a year after buying this home.
Though neither party has publicly detailed the reasons behind the split, speculation swirled after Jackman's close friendship with Broadway co-star Sutton Foster drew attention during his run in 'The Music Man.'
Furness broke her silence shortly after filing for divorce from Jackman last month.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' Furness said in a statement to the Daily Mail alluding to Jackman's alleged affair.

Collingwood: ‘The Lamington' pad's red hot auction result
An ultra-cool Collingwood apartment known as the Lamington has smashed expectations after selling for more than $1m on Saturday. The two-bedroom home at 3F/68 Oxford St with red tiles, metals and glass throughout was advertised with a $900,000-$950,000 asking range. Short-listed for an Australian Institute of Architects' interiors award, the warehouse conversion is located within a factory complex that formerly belonged to one of Australia's first department store chains, Foy & Gibson. The apartment's owner commissioned architectural practice Rexroth Mannasmann Collective to transform its shell into an eclectic abode with a wall of tall windows, 3.6m-high steel-trussed ceilings and polished hardwood floorboards. A horizontal red line features on many of the walls including in the open-plan living and dining area is much like a strip of jam inside a lamington – contributing to the apartment's unofficial name. There's also a central pod within the home containing a laundry and bathroom. One of the pod's walls has a flip-top desk and foldaway bed. The residence has been featured in both Vogue Living and the Architectural Review magazines. Jellis Craig inner north partner Simon Shrimpton said a $900,000 bid started the auction as three bidders competed for the 'very cool' apartment. It was placed on the market at $950,000 and ended up fetching $1.025m. 'The apartment sold a young couple from Fitzroy and the underbidders were a couple downsizing from the eastern suburbs,' Mr Shrimpton said. 'The couple who bought were very excited, they were the first to inquire and the first ones through the door at the first open for inspection,' Mr Shrimpton said. 'They were absolutely in love with the place and all the design aspects and nuances it has.' Mr Shrimpton said that for inner Melbourne apartments, well-designed homes with stylish flair tended to attract a lot of interest. 'Bespoke, architecturally-designed apartments are few and far between and when they are offered to the market, buyers will always line up to compete for them,' he added. Also on Saturday, a double-fronted, Victorian-era house at 1 Peel St, Newport, sold for $1.21m. The three-bedroom house, in need of some work including replastering, had a $1.05m reserve. The Agency property partners Leigh Melbourne and Noah Lautman-Wurt had the listing. Mr Melbourne said that a young couple from the western suburbs purchased the property, out of three bidders. 'The bidding was fast and furious,' Mr Melbourne said. He noted that homes at Peel St's bottom end, near The Strand in Williamstown, did not often come up for sale. 'In my 25 years covering the area, it's the second property I have sold down here,' he said. Mr Lautman-Wurt said the auction started with a $1m bid, with a buyer's advocate and family among the underbidders.

Ray White data reveals house-unit price difference in 15 blue chip suburbs
The dream of living in a blue-chip suburb is still in reach for younger Australians if they're willing to trade in a house for a unit, fresh data from real estate titan Ray White has revealed. While house prices remain at astronomical levels across much of the country's prime real estate, the gap in price between houses and units is wide enough in a host of up-market suburbs to make unit living affordable for first-home buyers. In Melbourne's iconic Hawthorn South, characterised by its vast patchwork of cafes, restaurants, heritage-listed buildings and elegant park spaces, median house prices are at $2.48m, but units are priced at $560,368, a massive $1.92m difference in cost. In Sydney's Homebush, which sits adjacent to the iconic Sydney Markets and Bicentennial Park, houses are priced at $2.24m, while units are priced at $677,393, for a $1.56m gap. Brisbane's riverside Hamilton, adorned with swanky Queenslanders and opulent modernist structures, houses go for $2.26m while units are listed at $717,358. Ray White chief economist Nerida Conisbee told NewsWire apartments offered Australians in their 20s and 30s a chance to live in suburbs with 'better amenity' as houses move beyond reach. 'To get an apartment, you might be closer to good retail precincts, better public transport, closer to your work,' she said. 'Also potentially to family and friends. I think this is one of the challenges a lot of younger people have. 'They may have grown up in an area but when they are looking to buy now, it's really expensive, but in some areas, there are definitely apartments available at a much more affordable price.' Ms Conisbee added solving Australia's affordability crisis would entail a greater shift to apartment living, even as builders continue to pump out four-bedroom homes that exceed the size of many emerging families. 'Australia is very unusual globally in that we have incredibly low densities,' she said. 'If you have a look at every other major city and even much smaller cities, they do have very high levels of high densities. 'We can't provide affordable housing in areas that have incredible amenity if we stick to the big homes in the future.' Every major city shows savings of at least $500,000 with an apartment buy over a house. In Adelaide's Walkerville, a tree-lined inner-north suburb, houses sit at $1.6m, while units are going for $604,328, a saving of nearly a million dollars. In Perth's beachside Mosman Park, houses are priced at $2.51m, while units are priced at $551,561, a near $2m difference. In Darwin's Larrakeyah, houses are $1.45m while units are $440,907. In Canberra's Reid, houses are $2.19m, while units are $617,050. Queensland's glittery Gold Coast, however, shows a smaller gap between house and unit prices compared to other major cities. In Southport, houses are $1.05m, while units are $637,051, for a $410,669 gap. Regional cities in popular coastal locations also present substantial gaps between house and unit prices. In the Sunshine Coast's Buderim suburb, which borders the Maroochydore and Mooloolaba beaches north of Brisbane, houses are priced at $1.3m, while units are going for $732,921. In Port Douglas, a Coral Sea town in Queensland's far north that faces out to the Great Barrier Reef, houses are listed at $1.71m, while units are $490,372.

Broadway star shades Madonna for rude act while seeing Hamilton: ‘The door's right there'
Anthony Ramos is calling out Madonna for poor theatre etiquette. On Friday's episode of Watch What Happens Live, Ramos played a game of 'Clubhouse of Horrors,' during which host Andy Cohen asked him to name the 'most terrifying celebrity to spot in the audience' when he was performing in Hamilton on Broadway. 'The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face. She was like this the whole time,' he said, pretending to look down at an iPad. 'I was like, 'Damn, shawty. If you're not enjoying it that much, you know the door's right there. You ain't gotta stay here!'' Ramos was famously part of the original cast of Hamilton, which made its Broadway debut in 2015. The actor, whose work on the musical earned him the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album, originated the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical, the entire cast reunited at the 2025 Tony Awards to perform a medley of iconic songs from the play. However, fans were upset that Ramos did not have a solo in the performance. 'That was really nice that people got pissed,' he said on Watch What Happens Lives. But according to the actor, his solo moments were cut because he didn't confirm his attendance until the day before the awards show. 'They weren't even planning on me being there,' he explained. 'They cut that part, they choreographed the whole number and then I texted Lin Saturday morning like, 'Yo, is it too late to join y'all?' He was like, 'Are you serious?' I was like, 'Yeah, I'm serious.' He was like, 'You got a black suit?' I was like, 'Nah, I could get one.'' 'So, they fit me in where I could fit in,' Ramos continued. 'There was a moment for me but they had to take it out because they didn't plan on me being there.'
