Hugh Jackman's Ex Deborra-Lee Furness Files For Divorce After 27 Years Of Marriage
Hugh Jackman's wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has officially filed for divorce nearly two years after the pair announced their separation.
Furness' filing in New York came after the former couple revealed their mutual split in September 2023.
'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' Furness and Jackman said in a statement at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.'
Furness' lawyer, Elena Karabatos, also submitted filings regarding the pair's settlement, health care coverage and medical child support, People reports.
HuffPost has reached out to Jackman's and Furness' reps for comment.
Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, tied the knot in 1996 after meeting the year before while filming the Australian TV series 'Correlli.' The former couple share two children — son Oscar and daughter Ava.
The 'Wolverine' actor has been romantically linked to his 'Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster since last year. Foster and Jackman went public with their romance in January after they were seen holding hands on a dinner date in Los Angeles.
A source claimed to Us Weekly in November 2024 that Foster and Jackman's relationship is the 'reason Hugh and Deb got divorced' after rumors circulated that the pair had become close while starring in the Broadway production.
'A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,' the source alleged. 'Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.'
Neither Furness nor Jackman has publicly confirmed the reason behind their divorce.
Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after 10 years of marriage.

Reality Star Confronts Wife in Court Over Plotting His Murder
Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin confronted his estranged wife in court Thursday, delivering a scathing statement as she was sentenced for plotting to have him killed. 'This person over here, I don't know at all. Not one bit,' Aaron said of his wife, Victoria Goodwin, while addressing the judge, according to US Weekly. 'The fact that this person did all this to me with no worry, no care or love in her heart for me—I will never feel the same.' Victoria pled guilty in April to conspiracy to commit murder in Nevada, after she was caught messaging Florida prison inmate Grant Amato in an attempt arrange Aaron's killing. Amato is serving life in prison for shooting his father, mother, and brother Cody in the head at their home in Florida in 2019 and attempting to stage it as a murder-suicide committed by his brother. Victoria allegedly offered $11,515 for the hit, sharing her husband's location with Amato—a convicted killer—who was expected to relay the information to a hitman. The murder was set to take place in Oct. 2024, while Aaron was filming Ghost Adventures in California. At Thursday's sentencing at Nevada's Clark County District Court, Victoria turned to Aaron, whom she wed in 2020, and apologized through tears. 'I'm so immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I've caused you and the betrayal you undoubtedly and rightfully feel by my actions,' she said, US Weekly reported. Aaron, who investigates paranormal activity on his show, described the ordeal as 'a heartbreak no one should go through in life,' especially after he had tried to salvage their relationship even after discovering in Sept. 2024 that Victoria had been cheating on him with 'multiple men,' including Amato. 'I gave her the option of divorce where we could work it out because I loved her so much. She made me feel so special and she was very—she was so sorry,' Aaron said, before turning to address Victoria directly. 'At least that's what you told me.' Instead, he continued, 'She put a hit out to kill me more than once, got blackmailed, and spent almost all our savings to keep it quiet, and fell more in love with Amato.' Chilling messages Victoria sent to Amato about their sinister plan were recovered from her phone by investigators. 'Am I a bad person?' one message read. 'Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.' Aaron, who filed for divorce in March, said uncovering Victoria's murder-for-hire plot has left him unable to 'trust anything anymore,' and led him to hire armed security. 'I still won't feel safe whenever she's released,' he said. The judge sentenced Victoria to between three and seven-and-a-half years in prison.

Big Take: The New Economics of Broadway
Broadway has always been a high-risk, high-reward kind of business — but with costs to mount a production higher than ever, producers are leaning into new strategies to try to recoup investments. Now, as Broadway wraps its highest-grossing season on record, the hottest tickets to celebrity-studded shows are going for upwards of $800. On today's Big Take podcast, we speak with two Tony Award-winning producers, Daryl Roth and Lucas Katler, about what it takes to succeed these days in show business, and we hear from Bloomberg Pursuits' Chris Rovzar about what Broadway's new economic reality means for tourism, for art and for what audiences pay at the box office.
