Hugh Jackman's wife hints at betrayal amid divorce row

Australian actor Deborra-Lee Furness expressed her compassion towards everyone who has undergone trauma due to betrayal. The couple ended their 27 years of marriage.

While speaking to the media recently, she reflected on healing through personal growth. Furness also spoke about dealing with hurt amid her split with the 'Wolverine' star.

In a statement given to Daily Mail, she said her "compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal." "It's a profound wound that cuts deep. However, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us," the 69-year-old continued.

The actor stated that even the most painful experiences can lead to liberation and freedom. She further said, "It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values, and boundaries is liberation and freedom."

nlike other divorces in Hollywood, which drag for a longer period, Furness and Jackman had an amicable settlement, according to the report. The Australian actor's lawyer, Elena Karabatos, submitted legal documents relating to health care coverage, child support, and the settlement. The report mentioned that the ex-couple is yet to sign the papers in court.

The report attributed an insider source, claiming, "There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but in the end, Deborra got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure. They based their marriage on honesty. But if Hugh didn’t physically cheat, she knows that he did emotionally".

The ex-couple, during their marriage, owned and sold multiple properties, including a $21-million penthouse in New York, a $5.9 million beach house in Sydney, and a property in East Hampton, New York. "They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement," the report quoted another source as saying.

In September 2023, Furness and Jackman shared a joint statement about ending their marriage of 27 years. The statement read, "We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

In an interaction with TMZ, when asked about the split from Furness, the 'Deadpool And Wolverine' actor admitted that this has been a 'difficult time' for him and his family. Jackman and actor Sutton Foster sparked dating rumours in January 2025, during a Santa Monica outing.

Jackman will next be seen in the American biographical musical drama film 'Song Sung Blue', written, co-produced, and directed by Craig Brewer.
