Deborra-Lee Furness officially files for divorce from actor Hugh Jackman, two years after shock split

Deborra-Lee Furness is officially moving on after filing for divorce from actor Hugh Jackman, nearly two years after their shock separation.

Furness, 69 and Jackman, 56 tied the knot in 1996 and had two adopted children before announcing in 2023 that they were ending their 27-year marriage.

The pair said in a joint statement at the time of their surprise split that they had been “blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife.”

“Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

The Australian actress reportedly submitted the paperwork in New York on May 23 after the pair reached an agreement behind the scenes.

“A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,” a source revealed to The Daily Mail.

“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 that there wasn’t any drama between the couple while they were agreeing to the terms of the divorce.

“They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony, and the expenses for the future of their children,” they said.

“They are amicable, and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.”

The news comes after the former couple were reportedly struggling earlier this year to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune after it was revealed they didn’t have a prenup.

It is believed their marriage began to unravel during COVID, which is around the same time Jackman struck up a friendship with Sutton Foster, his co-star on the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man.

The Aussie superstar actor was recently spotted taking the next step with Foster, 50.

The pair were photographed in New York City after Foster left Jackman’s Chelsea apartment, fuelling speculation that the couple had moved in together.
