Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness list $60 million New York penthouse
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have listed their lavish Manhattan penthouse as the former high-profile couple navigate their divorce.
The X-Men star and Shame actress want $US38.9 million ($59.6 million) for the apartment at 176 Perry Street, Realtor.com reported.
The listing is their second New York real estate move since Furness filed for divorce from Jackman last month.
Property records show that a company associated with Furness paid $US11.7 million ($17.8 million) – half the property's value – to a company associated with Jackman for a second Manhattan penthouse at 100 Eleventh Avenue.
The deal was finalised on May 21, two days before Furness filed for divorce, according to The Real Deal, which broke the news.
Now, just two weeks later, the penthouse at 176 Perry Street is on the market.
Jackson and Furness bought the property in 2008 for $US21 million.

Coldplay to re-release nine albums on records made from recycled plastic battles
Coldplay are set to reissue nine of their albums on records made from recycled plastic bottles. The Viva la Vida band are continuing their environmental crusade by reissuing their material on EcoRecord LPs - which are claimed to reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by 85 per cent when compared to traditional vinyl production. Jen Ivory, managing director of Coldplay's record label Parlophone, said: "We are incredibly proud to partner with artists such as Coldplay who share our commitment to a more sustainable future for music. "The shift to EcoRecord LP for their releases is a testament to what's possible when innovation meets intention. "It's not just about a new product, it's about pioneering manufacturing that significantly reduces environmental impact, providing fans with the same high-quality audio experience while setting a new standard for physical music production." The band are re-issuing their debut album Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), X+Y (2005), Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music of the Spheres (2021) in an eco-friendly manner. The LPs are made up of around nine recycled bottles, which are cleaned and process into small pellets before being moulded into records. Coldplay's most recent album - 2024's Moon Music - has already been released on an EcoRecord LP. The Clocks band are attempting to tour in an environmentally friendly way but frontman Chris Martin previously admitted there is still "quite a long way to go" to find a fully eco-friendly way to perform around the world. The 48-year-old singer told BBC Radio 2 in 2021: "We've been working with some amazing brands to see how we can cut down as much of the environmental impact as possible. "We still have quite a long way to go. But we've already come quite a long way." Coldplay teamed up with direct air capture pioneers Climeworks to ensure that their Music of the Spheres World Tour had a net-zero carbon footprint. They said in a statement: "Playing live and finding connection with people is ultimately why we exist as a band. We've been planning this tour for years, and we're super excited to play songs from across our whole time together. "At the same time, we're very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. "So we've spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour's potential to push things forward. "We won't get everything right, but we're committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It's a work in progress and we're really grateful for the help we've had so far."

How Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster became the new ‘Bennifer'
'We got the two-shot, the shot that everyone kind of was waiting for,' said Parshotam, whose Jackman-Foster images published everywhere from American and British tabloids to the covers of Australian newspapers. 'That January made my year,' he added. 'Not just financially, but more as a scoop.' Indeed, the news that Jackman, 56, and Foster, 50, were official lit up theatre group chats, Reddit gossip threads and social media comments across the globe, not to mention a slew of publications that now track their every move. Five months later, the two still have not said a word publicly about their courtship. But their very existence as a couple seems to have hit enough cultural nodes to vault them to near-Bennifer 2.0 status: Hollywood but also Broadway, blockbusters but also niche streaming faves, Australian celebrities, regular celebrities, co-stars falling in love, dating in your 50s, divorcing in your 50s and - perhaps most important – a hint of possible scandal. The story picked up more steam last month when Furness, 69, confirmed to the Daily Mail that she has now officially filed for divorce from Jackman. She also sent a lengthy and vague-yet-pointed statement, allowing readers to do their own maths. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep,' Furness told the publication. 'However I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience.' Loading Representatives for Jackman, Foster and Furness did not respond to requests for comment for this story. It's an unusually messy situation for twocharming entertainers who have spent years accumulating goodwill, moving seamlessly from musical theatre to film and TV and back again. Jackman was an Academy Award nominee for Les Misérables (he's got all but the 'O' in EGOT - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards) and is the rare Marvel action hero who can sing and dance. Foster has been nominated for five other Tonys in addition to those two wins and earned a following among young fans for her work in TV. But in the game of fame, critical success can't hold a candle to a juicy real-life love story. Loading 'People are fascinated by Hugh Jackman as an actor, but his love life has always been an even bigger obsession,' said Dax Holt, a former TMZ on-air personality. Holt, who now co-hosts the Hollywood Raw podcast where Parshotam first shared his story of cracking the 'JackFost' case, noted the endless curiosity about Jackman and Furness's marriage: their age gap, the long-running speculation about Jackman's sexuality – and now intrigue about the estrangement timeline. 'Deborra alluding to him being a cheater has poured more gas on the fire,' Holt said. 'I'm not going to lie, it's been an entertaining topic to cover on the podcast.' Part of the excitement is that Jackman and Foster have joined a storied tradition of co-stars who wind up dating. Anika Chapin, a musical theatre dramaturge and writer, recalled seeing an Instagram post shortly after news of the new couple broke. 'I didn't realise this happened in theatre,' one commenter replied. 'I was like, 'Well, of course it happens in theatre',' Chapin said. In film and television, you shoot a romantic scene a handful of times, she noted, while in theatre, you fall in love onstage eight times a week and spend hours together backstage. 'It's so much more of a concentrated experience that it feels like even more of a breeding ground for potential romantic entanglements.' Ben Rimalower, a theatre writer, performer and director, said the rumours about Jackman and Foster were so persistent in Broadway circles – a community drawn to drama both onstage and behind-the-scenes – that the most surprising part about the relationship confirmation was that they were still together. But since Foster in particular is beloved in the theatre world, there seemed to be 'a widespread desire' to let her handle whatever was going on at her own discretion, he said. However, after the news of her marriage ending not long after Jackman's, the chatter increased to a level that couldn't be contained to Midtown Manhattan. 'Even though they are obviously theatre stars, and that's where their careers began, they are both clearly famous at the level where they crossed over,' Rimalower said, adding, 'It's just a really far reach that makes them a lot more interesting to people than the average Broadway couple.' Decades before The Music Man brought them together, Jackman and Foster shared the kind of big-break origin story that theatre kids swoon for. Jackman landed his role as Wolverine in Marvel's 2000 blockbuster X-Men when Dougray Scott, a bigger name at the time, had to drop out due to Mission: Impossible 2 commitments. Foster was hired to understudy Millie Dillmount during Thoroughly Modern Millie 's slow path to Broadway in 2002, but took over the role when the original lead actress fell out with producers days before its out-of-town opening. Jackman emerged as the breakout star of the X-Men ensemble, while Foster won her first Tony. Jackman met Furness five years before X-Men on the Australian TV crime drama Correlli, they wed the following year when he was 27 and she was 40. They later adopted a son and a daughter and were often praised for their public devotion to one another. But as Jackman continued to star in musicals between hit movies, speculation about his sexuality was rampant. In a 60 Minutes Australia interview in 2013, he and Furness expressed irritation about rumours that he was clandestinely gay. 'If I was, I would be,' Jackman told the reporter. ' … But I do get frustrated for Deb, cause I see Deb go, 'Ah, this is just crazy'.' As Foster went on to success in Broadway shows and basic-cable series – ABC Family's Bunheads and TVLand's Younger – she married her Millie co-star Christian Borle, also now a two-time Tony winner, in 2006. They, too, were an object of sotto voce speculation in theatre circles, which Foster addressed in her 2021 memoir Hooked: How Crafting Saved My Life – describing how upset she was by tabloid reports of supposed cheating when in fact she and Borle had quietly separated and started seeing other people. (They divorced in 2009.) 'The gossips tried to sum up our demise as simply and salaciously as they could,' Foster wrote. 'But it wasn't that clear-cut.' Ultimately, this story of an old-school backstage romance – except involving 50-somethings! – just proved irresistible for very online gossips, who have found themselves combing through the pair's now years-old promotional interviews for The Music Man: how much they bonded during pandemic-delayed rehearsals, how naturally their professional chemistry developed. Foster told CBS Mornings in 2022 that she and Jackman made a routine of meeting in her dressing room before every show, sitting on the floor to catch up in what she called 'carpet chat'. 'We're kind of this little pair. And it's the greatest thing that's come out of this whole experience, is that I have a new friend,' Foster said. In other interviews, she described how their families spent time together and that her young daughter, whom she adopted with Griffin, called Jackman 'Uncle Hugh'. Loading One of the first hints of scandal came last autumn, not long after Foster confirmed her divorce. Pop culture creator Tasha Lustig posted a video on Instagram to her 227,000 followers where she claimed that Jackman 'blindsided' Furness by 'running off' with Foster. Amanda de Cadenet, a British media personality and part of Furness's crowd, showed up in the comments: 'You are on point with this one,' she wrote. 'My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!' Tabloids and gossip magazines took note that Furness herself 'liked' Lustig's video from her private Instagram account. In an interview with The Washington Post, Lustig said that she knew that Furness followed her on Instagram, and she wasn't too surprised that Furness engaged with the post. Lustig argued that the media all too often reports on celebrity divorce from the man's point of view, so she seeks to give her audience the counter perspective. Plenty of fans sympathised with Furness. 'People are really fond of Deb,' Lustig said, noting she was Jackman's 'ride or die' for years. After four months without a recorded public sighting, Jackman and Foster resurfaced in new paparazzi photos in mid-May that showed them on the streets of New York – another People exclusive, this time with the headline, 'Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Show Sweet PDA in Rare New Photos Since Confirming Romance.' They are positively beaming as they hold hands, not looking directly at the cameras, but with the aura of stars who know that everyone is watching their every move.
