Deborra-Lee Furness files to divorce Hugh Jackman 2 years after split
Hugh Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, filed for divorce in New York, nearly two years after the pair announced they were ending their 27-year marriage. Furness, 69, filed for divorce on Friday in Suffolk County Supreme Court, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The outlet reports the divorce will be finalized once the judge signs off on the complaint and other documents Furness submitted — filings regarding continuing health care coverage, a medical child support order, the New York State child support registry form, the exes' settlement deal, a proposed judgement of divorce and official certificate of dissolution. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' star and award-winning 'Shame' actress met in 1995, working on the Australian miniseries 'Correlli,' and married the following year. They later adopted son Oscar and daughter Ava, now 25 and 19 respectively. In September 2023, the couple announced their separation in a joint statement to People. 'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the actors said at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. … We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.' Jackman sparked romance rumors with his 'Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster as far back as 2022, though the Broadway stars only confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Furness' filing comes seven months after 50-year-old Foster filed to divorce screenwriter Ted Griffin in October, after a decade of marriage. The exes share daughter Emily, whom they also welcomed via adoption. Prior to Griffin, Foster was married to fellow Broadway veteran Christian Borle, who, like Jackman and the 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' actress, has won two Tony Awards. ___ © 2025 New York Daily News.

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.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness start formally separating shared assets
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have begun formally separating their shared assets as their divorce progresses. The transaction was recorded on 25 May, two days before 68-year-old Furness filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman, also 55, following 27 years of marriage. According to property records reviewed by People, an LLC tied to Furness paid $11.7 million to the LLC the couple had used when they acquired a Manhattan penthouse in New York 2022 for a reported $21 million. The home is now valued at around $23 million, with the Real Deal first to report the sale. Hugh and Deborra's former luxury apartment, located in a landmark starchitect-designed building in Chelsea, spans nearly 5,000 square feet across two floors, with an additional 3,700 square feet of outdoor space. Situated near the Hudson River, the area is known for its distinctive architecture and celebrity residents. The property is one of several high-value homes acquired by the pair during their nearly three-decade-long relationship. Hugh and Deborra reportedly still own residences in New York's West Village, the Hamptons, a waterfront condominium overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney, as well as other properties in the US, UK and Australia. They met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995 and married on 11 April 1996. The pair adopted their son, Oscar, now 24, in 2000, and their daughter, Ava, 19, in 2005. In September 2023, they confirmed their separation in a joint statement shared with People, saying: 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' In May, Deborra issued a separate statement discussing the emotional impact of the split. She said: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep.' Deborra added: 'However, I believe in a higher power and that God or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us. 'That belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.' According to The Daily Mail, a source claimed Hugh was 'blindsided' by Deborra's comments and 'extremely disappointed', alleging there had been 'an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press'. As of 30 May, the couple had reportedly reached an agreement to divide their estimated $387 million fortune. Deborra's court filings stated the divorce was uncontested and required only judicial approval to be finalised.

Inside Hugh Jackman's new relationship after Deborra-lee 'betrayal' statement
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' split has taken an unexpected turn with the Waiting actor opening up on her experience with 'betrayal.' The Wolverine star, 56, and his ex-wife, 69, announced their separation in September 2023, which appeared to be amicable. But Deborra has since seemingly hinted at adultery playing a part in their shock split, releasing a statement talking about 'betrayal' amid the breakdown of her 27-year marriage. An insider told MailOnline that Hugh was 'extremely disappointed' to read Deborra's statement just days after she filed for divorce. Since their split, Hugh has moved on with another actor, with reports suggesting they are set to move in together. Hugh confirmed he was dating Broadway star Sutton Foster 16 months after splitting from Deborra. Just days prior to the announcement, the X-Men icon was spotted watching the 50-year-old actor on stage in Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre. Their budding romance comes just months after Sutton filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024. It is thought that Hugh and Sutton first met after starring in the Broadway show The Music Man together in 2022. The pair both praised each other after starring together, with Sutton telling People in June 2024: 'He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar. I think everyone already knows that, though.' During a joint appearance with Sutton on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2022, Hugh also gushed: 'This is a six-time Tony nominee, two-time winner. Like, I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when you were like 4 years old. But I've watched everything she's done. It's amazing.' Sutton is best known as a Broadway actor who made her stage debut in 1996 in Grease as Sandy Dumbrowski. She has since had roles in Shrek the Musical, Anything Goes, and Thoroughly Modern Millie, which earned her her first Tony Award. Sutton has also made the move into the world of film and TV with roles in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, and Younger. Like her ex-husband, Deborra is an actor who began her career in an unlikely fashion. She first got a job as an assistant to the news director at Channel 9 in Australia before being asked to work on the daytime current affairs programme No Man's Land. She first performed on the stage after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in the 80s before landing her first movie role in Shame in 1998. She went on to star in the likes of TV miniseries Stark and Michael Rymer's Angel Baby before landing the title role in the TV series Correlli in 1995. Hugh and Deborra-Lee first met on the set of Correlli and instantly became inseparable, with the Wolverine actor getting down on one knee just months later. Neither Hugh nor Deborra has publicly announced why the couple has split, but the latter recently hinted at infidelity in their relationship. Deborra spoke about 'navigating betrayal' in a statement released on May 28, just days after filing for divorce. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she began. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.' She then specifically spoke about her 27-year marriage to Hugh, saying: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom. She then added 'that none of this is personal,' and said: 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful,' she concluded her statement to MailOnline. Hugh has since responded to the statement, with an insider saying he was 'extremely disappointed.' 'Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said,' an insider told MailOnline. 'There was no stipulation that she could not address this, but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press.' The insider suggested that Deborra 'got around' this agreement and added that Hugh 'caved' to her divorce requests. 'She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt. 'Hugh knows that he cannot change anything, and it is unfortunate that Deb feels the way she did given the fact that he caved in to all of her divorce requests.' Announcing their separation in September 2023, the couple was amicable. 'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' their joint statement to People at the time read. 'Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' More Trending 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. 'We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.' Hugh and Deborra share two adopted children named Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19. Metro has reached out to representatives for Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman for comment. Got a story?

Fears betrayal ‘hints' put Jackman's public image at risk
For decades they were Australia's golden couple, their story the ultimate fairy tale. But what appeared to be a textbook amicable separation has shattered — and concerns a stellar public image could be at risk. When Hugh Jackman laid eyes on Deborra-Lee Furness while filming ABC TV prison drama Correlli in 1995, it was love at first sight. In fact, Jackman was so confident he knew Furness, who was the 'bigger star' at the time and 13 years his senior, was 'the one' that he asked for her hand in marriage just four months later. Their wedding on April 11, 1996, in Melbourne was splashed across media outlets around the nation, and again when they adopted a son named Oscar in 2000 and five years later, a daughter named Ava. The pair were rarely seen without each other on red carpets, and regularly praised each other in public. In 2016, he called his wife 'the greatest thing that ever happened to [him]'. In 2018, the Wolverine star said: 'I knew two weeks into meeting Deb that we were going to be together for the rest of our lives.' He even serenaded her with a reprise of their wedding song at a Madison Square Garden performance in 2019. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness at their wedding. Credit: Hugh Jackman / Instagram But their seemingly enviable relationship imploded when the celebrity couple sent shockwaves through the showbiz world by announcing their split in September 2023 — just four months after attending the Met Gala together. Their separation was revealed in a statement: 'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority,' it continued. 'We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.' The pair signed off as 'Deb and Hugh Jackman' and concluded: 'This is the sole statement either of us will make.' What appeared to be an amicable split — with relative silence about their heartbreak — shattered last week, when Furness finally filed for divorce. Furness reportedly submitted the paperwork in New York on May 23 after the pair reached an agreement behind the scenes. A settlement was reached that she is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source revealed to the Daily Mail.

Credit: Evan Agostini / Invision/AP 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.' The insider added that Furness got the 'closure she needed'. The next step is for the judge to sign off. Another source confirmed there was little drama between the couple while they were agreeing to the terms of the divorce. However, Furness on Tuesday spoke cryptically of 'betrayal' and said she had found 'liberation' after her marriage ended. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she told the Daily Mail. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, 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. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' While Furness never used the word 'infidelity', the 'betrayal' Furness mentions may allude to cheating allegations. The couple's relationship is believed to have become turbulent during COVID-19, which was around the same time Jackman struck up a friendship with Sutton Foster, his co-star on the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man. With the messy fallout playing out in public and consuming entertainment media, the question of whether their reputations have been damaged has raised its head.

Credit: Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images Nicole Reaney, chief executive of Sydney-based PR agency InsideOut, said Jackman has built 'a very favourable brand image' through his career, which is now at risk of damage following Furness' remarks. 'He has just held this demeanour of a fun, genuine guy who has never been divisive,' she said. 'Obviously, no one really knows what has occurred inside their relationship, but Deborra filing for divorce and using words like betrayal in her statement has inferences into what may have occurred with his new partner. 'Hugh's image is likely to be tainted, but overall, his popularity and fame lean to him. 'If any further information unfolds, this may chip away further, but right now he still folds a favourable image.' Relationships Australia national executive officer Nick Tebbey said dealing with infidelity can be harder to work through in a long-term relationship. 'Infidelity is a really significant breach of trust in that relationship, and that brings with it a whole lot of feelings of hurt and grief and anger over what's happened,' he said. 'When a relationship has been together for for a long period of time, that can be even more acutely felt, because they feel like this bond has been built over a number of years, and people have made a huge investment in that relationship, only to have that happen and to then have to reassess what they thought the relationship was based on.' He said that this situation for a high-profile couple in the public eye added a whole new element to a marriage breakdown. 'Suddenly, all of your private matters are there on the front page of newspapers and all over social media for people to talk about and pore over and analyse,' he said. While their separation was announced more than a year ago, Mr Tebbey said it was common, regardless of the status of the relationship, for feelings to resurface as seen in Furness' recent statement. 'We do research into the sort of impacts of relationships on people, and we see that over a representative sample of the Australian population, the effects of the relationship breakdown can be really lingering, and they can go through ebbs and flows,' he said. 'So it's very normal to sort of have those issues resurface and then have to again, sort of process them.' With some fans thinking Jackman debuting a new relationship soon after his break-up was inconsiderate towards his ex, Furness was reportedly relieved when he went public with his new romance. A source close to Furness revealed she had been suspicious that Jackman was dating Foster but was repeatedly told the pair were just friends. When pictures emerged of Jackman and Foster holding hands, Furness felt a sense of relief that her suspicions had finally been confirmed. The actress admitted in January last year that change was 'frightening', but was looking forward to embracing new opportunities. Speaking amid her return to acting in Force of Nature: The Dry 2 - her first role since 2016 - Furness told the Daily Telegraph: 'It is kind of exciting. 'You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift.' Jackman was also reportedly dealing with major changes by turning to his children for support. A close friend of Jackman in May last year told Woman's Day: 'Ava and Oscar really rallied around him, and it's made a huge impact. 'He always looks so happy when he's with those two.' The insider said his children had been working to support him in his time of need. 'They know him better than he does and are constantly surprising him,' the source said. 'They've become closer than he could have imagined, and he can confide in them, whereas before he'd turn to Deb.'
