Deborra-Lee Furness addresses betrayal and shares reflections following divorce filing from Hugh Jackman

Deborra-Lee Furness has publicly addressed the end of her 27-year marriage to Hugh Jackman following her recent divorce filing. In a statement to the Daily Mail, Furness, 69, alluded to feelings of betrayal, seemingly referencing Jackman’s alleged affair with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. She described the experience as a “profound wound” but emphasized her belief in a higher power guiding her through this difficult time. Furness expressed that despite the pain, she has gained wisdom and insight, viewing adversity as a path to personal growth and true purpose. She highlighted the importance of living with integrity, setting boundaries, and recognizing that relationships serve to teach and heal. The couple, married since 1996, share two children, Oscar and Ava. They announced their separation in 2023, with Furness officially filing for divorce in New York in May 2025. Reports indicate a settlement has been reached, including a spousal support agreement. Rumors of Jackman’s affair with Foster, who also filed for divorce last year, have circulated since 2024 and are believed to have contributed to the marriage breakdown. The couple’s relationship was publicly confirmed in January 2025. Furness’s statement reflects both her pain and her resolve to find closure and personal freedom amid the divorce.
