Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Finalize Divorce After 27 Years of Marriage

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have officially closed the chapter on their 27-year marriage, with their divorce finalized in New York's Suffolk County Supreme Court. Court documents confirm the case status as "Disposed" as of June 3, 2025, signaling the end of a union that began in 1996 when Jackman was just 27 and Furness was 40.

The terms of the divorce were uncontested, requiring only a judge's approval to finalize. Furness, 69, filed for divorce on May 27, following the couple's amicable separation announcement in September 2023. Together, they share two adopted children, Oscar and Ava, and had built a life that many admired for its longevity in the often turbulent world of Hollywood relationships.

In a poignant statement, Furness reflected on the emotional toll of the split, calling it a "profound wound that cuts deep." She expressed solidarity with others who’ve faced betrayal and emphasized her belief in a higher power guiding her through the breakdown of nearly three decades of marriage. Meanwhile, Jackman has remained relatively quiet, though friends suggest he’s focused on moving forward.

The couple’s joint statement from 2023 highlighted their gratitude for the years spent together, stating, "Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth." Yet, whispers of new beginnings surround Jackman, as rumors swirl about a potential romance with his former "Music Man" co-star Sutton Foster. The pair was recently spotted together in Los Angeles, fueling speculation, though neither has commented on the matter.

This divorce marks not just the end of a personal era for Jackman and Furness, but also a reminder of how even the strongest bonds can evolve into new paths. As they step into their separate futures, the public watches with a mix of nostalgia and curiosity.
