Overview

  • Deborra-Lee Furness filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman in New York on May 23, 2025, formally ending their 27-year marriage.
  • The uncontested proceedings require only a judge’s signature after the couple privately agreed on settlement details.
  • The deal provides a substantial spousal support payment along with continuation of health care benefits and a qualified medical child support order for their two adopted children.
  • Furness released a statement to the Daily Mail describing her experience as a "traumatic journey of betrayal" and breaking her silence on the divorce.
  • Hugh Jackman’s romance with Broadway co-star Sutton Foster has been linked to the breakup, and insiders say he was blindsided by Furness’s public comments.
