What did Deborra-Lee Furness say about Hugh Jackman divorce?
Deborra-Lee Furness described the end of her 27-year marriage to Hugh Jackman as “a profound wound that cuts deep,” while extending compassion to others navigating similar heartbreak. “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she told the Daily Mail.
Despite the pain, Furness said she finds strength in her belief in a higher power. “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,” she explained. The Australian actress emphasized the importance of self-discovery, calling the experience a path to wisdom and resilience.
In her statement, Furness shared how the divorce has shaped her understanding of relationships and personal boundaries. “Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good,” she said. For her, the process has brought clarity about values and the liberating power of living authentically.

Furness officially filed for divorce on May 23, as per reports, and the filings seemingly remain uncontested, signaling a cooperative legal process. The former couple had announced their separation in September 2023, stating they were pursuing “individual growth” after being together for nearly 30 years. They are parents to two children, Oscar and Ava.
Meanwhile, Jackman has been seen in public with Broadway star Sutton Foster, further fueling rumors that their close relationship may have played a role in the breakup.
