Rumor swirls about an upcoming tell-all book claiming to reveal details on the purported marital struggles of actors Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness.
Deborra-Lee Furness, the former spouse of renowned actor Hugh Jackman, has drawn media attention after reports suggest she has received multiple offers for a tell-all book regarding their split following 27 years of marriage.
The pair announced their separation in 2023, leaving many in shock, given their longtime status as Australia's golden couple. Originally, it was claimed that the divorce was amicable. However, tensions escalated when Furness made a statement regarding the 'traumatic journey of betrayal' that left a lasting impact.
Recently, a source disclosed to the Daily Mail that a variety of book publishers have expressed interest in Furness's story, offering substantial amounts for an account of her marriage and its collapse. An insider revealed that since the break-up, Furness has been inundated with lucrative deals to pen an honest portrayal of life behind closed doors with Jackman.
Despite such enticing offers, Furness, known for her humanitarian efforts, has thus far remained silent on the subject. It's worth noting that Jackman reportedly felt taken aback by Furness's 'betrayal' statement, as it was understood that she wouldn't publicize negative comments about him.
Beyond their joint separation announcement, Furness's recent statement regarding betrayal marks her first public comments about the split. Though she hasn't explicitly named Jackman, her remarks seem to skirt around any unwritten agreements regarding public discussion about their separation.
A source confirmed that Furness filed for divorce in New York City on May 23, 2023, and Jackman has yet to respond to the petition. The pair have reached an agreement to divide their substantial fortune, estimated at $387 million, as they move forward with their separation.
The ex-couple shares two children - adopted son Oscar and biological daughter Ava. The final legal steps in their divorce await a judge's signature to conclude the process. As of May 2025, it remains unclear whether Furness will proceed with a tell-all book, and no publishing deal has been announced.
- The media intrigue surrounding Deborra-Lee Furness intensified as numerous book publishers offered substantial amounts for her tell-all book about the collapse of her marriage, which left many wondering if she would accept and reveal more about her experiences with her ex-husband Hugh Jackman, a prominent global celebrity.
- Given her varied humanitarian work, it is strange that Deborra-Lee Furness has remained largely silent about the reports of lucrative deals offering her an opportunity to share her story in the entertainment world, unexpectedly placing her in a position that could bring her closer to the world of celebrity gossip.
- Despite Jackman reportedly feeling taken aback by Furness's comments about betrayal and their understanding on unwritten agreements, the fact that she hasn't named him directly leaves open the possibility for Furness to eventually pen a tell-all book, possibly promising the public an in-depth exploration of their 27-year marriage as the world anticipates a potential insight into life behind closed doors with one of Hollywood's most beloved couples.
