Hugh Jackman’s Ex Deborra-Lee Furness Breaks Silence on “Betrayal”

Deborra-Lee Furness knows she is not alone.

In the spirit of transparency and openness, I find myself compelled to share insights about a significant life chapter – my recent decision to part ways legally with my longtime partner, Hugh Jackman, after nearly three decades together. This step, taken on May 23, was not made lightly but is an essential move towards new beginnings for both of us.

She expressed her heartfelt sympathy to everyone who has experienced the difficult path of betrayal, stating this in a statement to The Daily Mail on May 27. “This pain runs deep like a severe wound,” she added, “but I have faith in a greater force that is constantly working for our benefit.

In her words, she mentioned that this belief has guided her through the conclusion of her relationship (set to split in 2023). During this time, she’s not only acquired new knowledge but also grown wiser.

Though challenges may seem daunting, they are actually guiding us towards our highest potential, our true destiny,” the 69-year-old went on. “It might cause pain, but ultimately, embracing yourself, living according to your own principles, and maintaining your personal boundaries is a path to self-liberation and freedom.

Furness summed up by expressing the thought that our relationships aren’t just coincidental. He stated, “People enter our lives intentionally, so we can grasp our life lessons and identify and mend the fractured aspects of ourselves…I continue to be thankful.

TopMob News has attempted to get a response from representatives of both Furness and Jackman, however, we have yet to receive any comments.

After parting ways with Furness, Jackman started dating his long-term friend and frequent Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, who was previously married to Ted Griffin until their separation in October 2024.

Since parting ways with Jackman, Furness appears to have been dedicating her time towards her individual development rather than seeking romantic relationships in the public eye.

She shared with People magazine in May 2024 that she discovered her strength and adaptability within herself, adding, “I, and we as a whole, are perpetual evolutions.

It was reported by TopMob News that Furness has officially filed for divorce from the actor known for his role in Wolverine, and it seems they’ve already agreed on the terms of the divorce nearly two years after announcing their split.

Over the past nearly three decades, I’ve been fortunate enough to walk this beautiful life as a married partner with my beloved spouse. We first tied the knot in 1996, after crossing paths on the set of an Australian TV series. In a heartfelt interview with People magazine in September 2023, we shared that our union has been filled with love and joy.

However, as life often presents us with new chapters, our journey is now taking a different path. After careful contemplation, we’ve chosen to separate so that we may each grow individually.

Furness and Jackman, parents to Oscar (age 24) and Ava (age 19), expressed, “Our family holds the utmost importance in our lives, and as we embark on this new phase, we do so with a sense of gratitude, love, and kindness.

Since his breakup with Furness, Jackman has been in a relationship with his long-term friend and frequent Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, who was previously married to Ted Griffin. Their marriage ended in October 2024.

Since splitting from Jackman, Furness appears to be concentrating more on her individual development rather than dating openly.

She shared with People in May 2024 that she discovered her strength and adaptability, adding, “We’re all in a continual process of growth and change.

The Sydney-born actors first met in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli.

One evening, after some alcohol, Hugh confessed to his co-star that he had feelings for her – a sentiment shared by the entire team as well.

To his pleasant surprise, Deborra returned the sentiment. Somehow, we are not surprised.

The pair were all smiles in 1997, about a year after they tied the knot.

The two embraced each other during a sweet moment.

Not long after their 10th wedding anniversary, the Australian stars were still hot for each other.

In the year 2009, Deborra and her daughter Ava Eliot, as well as her son Oscar Maximillian, stood by Hugh during his hand-and-footprint ceremony held in Hollywood.

Deborra and her kids were proud to cheer Hugh on at the ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

In 2009, the family had their picture taken alongside Vivica A. Fox during the 7th yearly Istar Charity Shootout event held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

The then-couple attended the EE British Academy Film Awards at The Royal Opera House in 2013. 

The classy couple were dressed to the nines at the 2014 Met Gala.

The family enjoyed quality time at Disneyland. 

Deborra was Hugh’s date at the Eddie the Eagle premiere in Sydney in 2016.
