Deborra-Lee Furness Opens Up About Divorce from Hugh Jackman
Deborra-Lee Furness, recently divorced from actor Hugh Jackman, has spoken publicly for the first time since the finalization of their separation. Furness filed for divorce from the “Wolverine” star last Friday in New York, concluding the legal process two years after the couple initially announced their split. The divorce now awaits only a judge’s signature.
In a statement, Furness shared her thoughts on the “traumatic journey of betrayal,” expressing empathy for others who have experienced similar pain. While not delving into specifics, she emphasized her belief in a higher power and the idea that even adversity leads to personal growth and a clearer understanding of one’s purpose. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to embark on a new chapter focused on personal integrity and values.
Furness and Jackman, who married in 1996, share two children, Oscar and Ava. Their initial separation announcement in 2023 stressed their continued commitment to family and a desire for privacy. Jackman has since been linked to Broadway actress Sutton Foster.
