Ex-spouse of Hugh Jackman discusses "deception" matters.
Divorce Announcement: Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Part Ways After Two Decades
After 27 years of marriage, Hollywood star Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have unexpectedly announced their separation at the end of 2023. Groundless allegations of an affair by Jackman have surfaced following the announcement, with Furness' statements seeming to affirm these rumors.
In a statement to the British newspaper "Daily Mail", Furness spoke out for the first time since the separation. She expressed her sympathies to those who have experienced "the heart-wrenching journey of betrayal". The 69-year-old actress highlighted that that the end of their nearly three-decade-long union is a "profound wound that cuts deeply".
Photographs emerged at the beginning of January showing Jackman holding hands with his colleague Sutton Foster, whom he worked with on the Broadway production "Music Man". Speculation swirled that the "Wolverine" star had been unfaithful to his wife with the actress. It is known that Foster had also separated from her husband and filed for divorce in October 2024 after ten years of marriage.
In the wake of the separation, Furness has found solace in her faith. She explained, "Even when we face apparent obstacles, it leads us to our highest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, it means liberation and freedom to return to ourselves and live within our own integrity, values, and boundaries."
She added, "Nothing is personal. Everyone is on an individual journey, and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, to learn our lessons and recognize and heal our broken sides." Furness remains grateful.
Jackman and Furness tied the knot in 1996. They welcomed their son Oscar in 2000 and their daughter Ava in 2005 through adoption. The couple happily announced their separation in September 2023, stating, "We have been fortunate to spend nearly three decades as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our path is changing now, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."
Sources indicate that the couple has reached an amicable settlement and remains committed to co-parenting their children. Financial details of the divorce settlement, which reportedly includes a substantial spousal support payment for Furness, have been worked out by both parties. The divorce is uncontested and awaits a judge's approval for finalization.
