- Hugh Jackman’s Ex Wife Is Reportedly ‘Rebuilding Her Life’ After Being ‘Blindsided’ By His Romance With Broadway Co-Star Sutton Foster (shefinds.com)
Following his very public new romance with actress Sutton Foster, Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, is reportedly finding solace and strength amongst friends as she navigates the difficult period following their separation. Sources close to Furness say she’s leaning on a strong support system of female friends and finding comfort in connecting with other women who have experienced similar situations. The actress is also prioritizing her well-being, reportedly taking a trip to Bhutan to find peace and distance herself from the emotional turmoil.
While Furness focuses on healing, the details surrounding the split continue to emerge. Sources indicate that the alleged relationship between Jackman and Foster, which reportedly began during their time working on Broadway’s “The Music Man,” blindsided Furness. Adding to the emotional complexity of the situation, reports suggest Furness felt let down by Hollywood power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, close friends of Jackman, for allegedly keeping the relationship secret.
Meanwhile, the financial aspects of the divorce are proving to be a significant hurdle. Jackman and Furness, who did not have a prenuptial agreement, are reportedly at an impasse over their considerable shared fortune, estimated at $250 million.
Sources claim Furness is seeking a larger settlement than Jackman is currently offering and intends to leverage the circumstances of their separation in the negotiations. With such high stakes and complex emotional undercurrents, the divorce proceedings promise to be a challenging process for both parties.
