Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness Officially File For Divorce. Actress Breaks Silence
Last Updated:
The celebrity couple previously announced their separation in September 2023 and has now formally filed for divorce.
Nearly two years after announcing their split, former couple Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are finally set to get divorced. Furness has filed papers for their formal separation in New York, requiring just a judge's sign-off. Jackman and Furness met in 1995 and got married the very next year. They share two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava. Despite sharing a 13-year age gap, they soon emerged as one of the most adored Hollywood couples.
However, the togetherness was short-lived as the couple announced their split in September 2023, leaving fans shocked. 'We have been blessed to share almost 3 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," they said at the time.
Nearly two years since the announcement, a formal submission has been made, with Furness' lawyer also submitting filings related to settlement, including health care coverage, a medical child support order, and a certificate of dissolution, as per the Daily Mail. Speaking on the same, a source shared that Furness finally got what she deserved after a lot of 'back and forth on the financial agreement." All the details have been worked out in advance and ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and other expenses for their children's future.
Hugh Jackman's Ex-Wife Breaks Silence On Divorce
Following the filing for divorce, Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken out for the first time, hinting at being betrayed by her ex-husband. 'My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," the Australian actress told the Daily Mail. Calling their split 'a profound wound that cuts deep," she added, 'However, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage."
The remarks come against the backdrop of rumours about Hugh Jackman's extramarital affair with his The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster in 2022. Earlier this year, the two were even spotted going on a dinner date, further fuelling the rumours. Now that the Deadpool & Wolverine star will be officially divorced, it is yet to be seen if he will make any public advances in his dating life.

‘Bored of being your sidegirl': Avril Mathie retires from boxing with emotional farewell
Avril Mathie/ Instagram Australian boxer Avril Mathie has officially retired from professional boxing after a 13-year career, sharing an emotional farewell message on Instagram. The Sun reports the fighter ends her career with a record of eight wins, one loss, and one draw. Mathie was once set for a high-profile 2023 bout against fellow Australian Ebanie Bridges, a fight dubbed the 'battle of the boobs' due to both fighters' striking physiques and weigh-in antics. However, Mathie pulled out of the fight due to injury and later revealed she had removed her breast implants after 18 years. In her heartfelt Instagram post, Mathie described boxing as 'the love of my life' and said: 'Sadly, after 13 years, I must say goodbye. My heart is broken walking away from you, I still have so much love for you, some may call it addiction in fact. I had so many dreams for our future, but my body can't take your abuse anymore.' She went on to explain the challenges that led to her decision: 'But a year and a half ago, you hurt me so badly. And while I missed you during that time apart healing, I also had the best year of my life. It opened my eyes to what else is waiting for me beyond you… Slowly I just became tired of the pain, bored of being your sideline girl and am craving to be again in something like that we once had when I felt like I was growing unstoppably.' After consulting with friends, she realized boxing no longer met her needs and said: 'I've realised it's me who's the fun and inspiring one, it's not even about you and that will translate into all my future relationships… And I know you'll miss me, but don't worry, I'll find a way to stay connected to you. Thanks for everything, boxing, I'll be forever grateful we crossed path.' Ebanie Bridges, a former bantamweight champion, responded to Mathie's announcement, saying: 'You'll always be the one that got away to me.' 'I love this letter. You are amazing in and out of the ring. Onto the next chapter / new love, which I have no doubt you will succeed in.' Mathie, also known for her career as an OnlyFans star and swimsuit model, revealed on her YouTube channel that undisclosed injuries were the main reason for her retirement. She also suffered a serious motorbike accident in 2023 where her bone was exposed, further complicating her return to boxing. In a related note from late 2024, Mathie stunned her social media followers by revealing a significant body transformation after having her breast implants removed. Speaking candidly on Instagram, she explained: 'If you noticed something on me looking a little differently lately, you're right. Seven weeks ago I removed my breast implants after 18 years… I got my first implants when I was only 19 because the culture I grew up in had me believing that I was out of proportion –and I was so insecure about my body.' She also discussed health concerns that influenced her decision: 'In the last couple of years I've seen girls I know remove their implants due to breast implant illness… scans revealed that the implants were actually not in the best condition and while not an emergency, the doctor recommended that I consider removal or replacement.' Mathie described the recovery as 'absolutely brutal' and admitted it delayed her boxing comeback. However, she said: 'Honestly, it was one of the best decisions of my life.'
