Hugh Jackman reacted to Deborra-Lee Furness divorce comment, claims report
Deborra-Lee Furness reportedly blindsided Hugh Jackman with her May 23 divorce statement. She described a “traumatic journey of betrayal,” despite their previously amicable 2023 split.
According to Daily Mail, a source said Jackman felt “extremely disappointed” and believed there was an “unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press,” adding, “Hugh knows that he cannot change anything… He caved in to all of her divorce requests.”
On May 27, Furness told the Daily Mail, “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep.” She added, “Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.” Furness emphasized healing, boundaries, and faith, stating, “Returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”
Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, met in 1995, married in 1996, and adopted two children. Their estimated shared fortune of $200 million includes properties in New York, East Hampton, Sydney, and Manhattan. A source claimed Furness received a “handsome spousal support payment” and the couple settled their terms privately.
In January, People published photos confirming Jackman’s relationship with Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. Furness reportedly believed Jackman and Foster shared an “emotional affair.” Deborra-Lee Furness separated from Hugh Jackman in October 2024.
On May 28, Jackman shared a video of himself skipping to NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.” He captioned the clip “FINALLY,” a move some observers noted came shortly after the divorce filing.
