Deborra-Lee Furness files to divorce Hugh Jackman 2 years after split
Hugh Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, filed for divorce in New York, nearly two years after the pair announced they were ending their 27-year marriage.
Furness, 69, filed for divorce on Friday in Suffolk County Supreme Court, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The outlet reports the divorce will be finalized once the judge signs off on the complaint and other documents Furness submitted — filings regarding continuing health care coverage, a medical child support order, the New York State child support registry form, the exes' settlement deal, a proposed judgement of divorce and official certificate of dissolution.
The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' star and award-winning 'Shame' actress met in 1995, working on the Australian miniseries 'Correlli,' and married the following year. They later adopted son Oscar and daughter Ava, now 25 and 19 respectively.
In September 2023, the couple announced their separation in a joint statement to People.
'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the actors said at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. … We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.'
Jackman sparked romance rumors with his 'Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster as far back as 2022, though the Broadway stars only confirmed their relationship earlier this year.
Furness' filing comes seven months after 50-year-old Foster filed to divorce screenwriter Ted Griffin in October, after a decade of marriage. The exes share daughter Emily, whom they also welcomed via adoption.
Prior to Griffin, Foster was married to fellow Broadway veteran Christian Borle, who, like Jackman and the 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' actress, has won two Tony Awards.

Sarah Jessica Parker Best Family Photos: Matthew Broderick, Kids, More
Sarah Jessica Parker has been famous since she was 12 years old when she was cast in the Broadway sensation Annie. From Footloose to Sex and the City, the triple-threat actress has always found a way to stay in the limelight through every decade, but it's her family that matters to her the most. She found her partner in crime, Matthew Broderick, after being introduced by her two brothers, who worked with him in the theater community. Together, they started a family that includes son James Wilkie, born in 2002, and fraternal twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta (goes by Loretta), who were born in 2009. She described her son when he was younger as 'very small, but [with a] personality [that] is 6 feet 4' and that's evident from every mischievous photo of him on the red carpet. The twins are a totally different story; they prefer life out of the spotlight, so it's rare to see a photo of them in public (unless the paparazzi are hounding them). 'They're really devoted to each other, but they'll also say, 'I need time away from her.' Tabitha can play by herself for hours. Loretta always needs to be checking in,' she told People. 'They go to different schools. That's Tabitha's idea.' Parker is a mama bear who does her best to maintain all of her children's privacy because no matter how famous she is as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw, at home, she's just mom. See our favorite photos of Parker with her family over the years below!

In this pic, they seem so proud as they leave the hospital for the first time. Parker and Broderick then welcomed twin daughters Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta in 2009. In this Robin Layton photo, the family of five is all smiles with their new additions. James's fascination with his sister is truly adorable! Over the years, James has been a veteran when it comes to walking the red carpet. He's often seen accompanying his parents at premieres and Broadway openings. At the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in 2011, James outdid his own fashionable parents in this adorable black velvet suit. How adorable! He's a big fan of theater, too! In this pic, he's attending the Catch Me If You Can Broadway premiere back in 2011. At the 2012 premiere of Nice Work If You Can Get It, Parker posed hand-in-hand with James on the carpet as he showed off her longer, shaggier haircut. When Parker attended the New York City Ballet 2018 Spring Gala in 2018, daughters Loretta and Tabitha looked like her mini-me in floral spring dresses. Despite being a full-time student at Brown University in 2021, James still made time to support his mom on her big return to the iconic role of Carrie Bradshaw at the And Just Like That… premiere in December. Speaking of supporting, both Tabitha and Loretta sweetly supported their mom at the premiere of her long-awaited movie, Hocus Pocus 2, in September 2022. At the opening night of Some Like It Hot! on Broadway in December 2022, all five of them attended and posed for photos. Broderick looked proud as can be looking at his son at the premiere of No Hard Feelings in June 2023. Broderick was joined by all three of his kids at the long-awaited premiere of Oh, Mary! on July 11, 2024. He's one proud dad! The tight-knit family had another Broadway family outing at the Smash Opening Night on April 10, 2025.

Roseanne Barr Claims The Conners Wanted Her Back — Here's What the EPs Told Us About a Possible Cameo
In a new documentary chronicling her career in comedy and television, Roseanne Barr alleges that she was asked to appear on The Conners as a ghost, after her family matriarch landed six feet under. 'They called me and asked me if I would like to come back as a guest star,' the Emmy winner claims in Roseanne Is America, according to People. 'You're asking me to come back to the show that you f—king stole from me and killed my a—, and now you want me to show up because you got s—t f—king ratings and play a ghost.' More from TVLine The Conners Was a Good Revival — But If They'd Honored Roseanne History, It Could've Been Great The Conners Series Finale: EPs Reflect on Roseanne's Absence, Fourth Wall Break and Parallels to Original Ending Casting News: Felicity Huffman Joins Doc, Jen Garner Drama Adds Chloë Sevigny and More Barr insists that she turned down the request, telling producers, 'I'm gonna be bowling that f—king week.' But a source tells TVLine that Barr's claims are 'inaccurate.' TVLine reached out to Barr's rep for further clarification on when, exactly, she received the invite. Barr declined comment. Barr was famously fired by ABC in 2018 after she hit send on a bigoted tweet that nearly took her sitcom family down with her. But the beloved series, not unlike the working-class family at its center, persevered: Three weeks after Roseanne was cancelled, Barr reached a financial settlement with Werner Entertainment that allowed the production company to move forward with a spinoff without her participation. That agreement also forbade The Conners from using her likeness — hence the offshoot never showing Roseanne Conner in pictures or in flashbacks. When the agreement was reached, Barr put out the following statement: 'I regret the circumstances that have caused me to be removed from Roseanne. I agreed to the settlement in order that 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew could be saved, and I wish the best for everyone involved.' Seven years later, ahead of The Conners' series finale, TVLine spoke with executive producers Bruce Helford, Bruce Rasmussen and Dave Caplan, and asked if they considered having Barr make a cameo. At the time, Helford was quick to remind me, 'We pulled a Newhart the first time!' (He was referring to 2018's Roseanne revival, which kicked off with the resurrection of John Goodman's Dan Conner, who was killed off in the original series' 1997 finale.) To do it again, this time with Dan's late wife, 'would have felt to us like a rug pull,' Rasmussen said. According to Helford, the only conversation they ever had was about preserving the memory of Barr's character, 'and we felt we did that. People loved her, her family loved her, and we wanted to make sure that this was something that honored that.' Added Caplan: 'We never ran away from, or disrespected her character. That was a conscious decision on all our parts.' Disney/ABC also declined comment for this story, while reps for the EPs have not responded as of press time.
