Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has spoken out for the first time about the emotional fallout from their high-profile split, describing the experience as a “traumatic journey of betrayal” just months after their divorce was officially finalized.

The Australian actress, 70, filed for divorce from the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star in May 2025, nearly two years after the couple announced their separation in September 2023. Court records from New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court show the case was marked as “disposed” in June 2025, bringing an official end to their 27-year marriage.

In a statement provided to media outlets at the time of filing, Furness expressed compassion for others facing similar pain. “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said. “It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.”

Furness added that adversity ultimately leads to personal growth. “Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

The former couple, who share two adopted children – son Oscar, 25, and daughter Ava, 20 – initially announced their separation in a joint statement to People magazine, emphasizing their decision to pursue “individual growth” after a “wonderful, loving marriage.”

Jackman, 57, and Furness met on the set of the 1995 Australian TV series “Correlli,” where she was already an established star and he was a fresh drama school graduate. Despite a 13-year age difference, the pair quickly fell in love. Jackman has recounted in past interviews how he was instantly smitten, recalling Furness introducing herself warmly on his first day.

They married in April 1996 and built a life together in both Australia and the U.S., adopting their children after facing infertility challenges. Over the years, they were often hailed as one of Hollywood’s most enduring couples, frequently appearing together at red carpets and events.

However, speculation about the reasons behind their split intensified in early 2025 when Jackman was photographed holding hands with Broadway actress Sutton Foster during a dinner in Santa Monica, California. The outing marked the first public confirmation of their romance, which had been the subject of whispers since they co-starred in the 2022 revival of “The Music Man.”

Foster, 50, who won Tony Awards for “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Anything Goes,” filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024. Sources close to the production of “The Music Man” had previously noted the strong chemistry between Jackman and Foster onstage and off.

While neither Jackman nor Foster has publicly addressed allegations of overlap in their relationships, insiders have claimed to outlets like the Daily Mail that Furness felt betrayed by what she perceived as an emotional affair during the Broadway run. One source described the marriage straining during the COVID-19 pandemic, coinciding with Jackman’s growing friendship with Foster.

Furness’ reference to “betrayal” in her May statement fueled further speculation. Although she did not name anyone specifically, the timing – coming just months after Jackman and Foster went public – drew connections in media reports.

Jackman has remained largely silent on the personal details of the divorce. Representatives for the actor did not respond to requests for comment at the time of Furness’ statement. Since going public with Foster, the couple has been spotted on multiple occasions, including date nights in New York and Los Angeles. In October 2025, they made their red carpet debut together at the premiere of Jackman’s film “Song Sung Blue.”

Complicating the divorce proceedings was the reported absence of a prenuptial agreement. Sources told various outlets earlier in 2025 that negotiations over the couple’s estimated $250 million fortune had reached an impasse, with disputes over asset division delaying formal filings. Furness was said to feel entitled to a larger share, particularly in light of Jackman’s new relationship.

By June, however, the divorce was finalized on uncontested terms, suggesting the parties reached a private settlement. Details of the financial agreement have not been made public.

Persistent rumors about Jackman’s sexuality, which have followed him for decades, also resurfaced amid the split. Speculation began in earnest during his 2003 Broadway run in “The Boy from Oz,” where he portrayed openly gay performer Peter Allen. Both Jackman and Furness repeatedly denied the claims throughout their marriage.

In a 2013 interview, Jackman dismissed the rumors as uninteresting. Furness once quipped in a podcast appearance, “If he was gay, he could be gay!” Following the separation, some tabloids and online commentators revived the theories, suggesting the marriage may have been one of convenience. However, sources close to Furness have indicated she has no intention of addressing such speculation in any potential memoir, despite reported offers from publishers.

As of late 2025, reports suggest lingering tension between the exes. A December article cited sources claiming the divorce process has taken a “nasty turn,” with ongoing disputes potentially tied to post-divorce matters or public perceptions.

Furness has focused on philanthropy and personal reinvention since the split, continuing her work in adoption advocacy and appearing at events like the Parsons Benefit in New York. Jackman, meanwhile, has thrown himself into work, starring in blockbuster films and Broadway productions while maintaining a close relationship with his children.

The end of Jackman and Furness’ marriage marks the conclusion of one of Hollywood’s longest-running partnerships. While both have expressed gratitude for their shared history, the public fallout – from betrayal allegations to financial wrangling and new romances – has kept the story in the headlines.

Neither party has commented further as of this publication. Jackman’s team declined to respond to inquiries about ongoing rumors.
