Is Hugh Jackman Upset Over Ex-Wife Deborra-Lee Furness' ‘Betrayal' Remarks?
Last Updated:
According to reports, Hugh Jackman was upset over his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness breaking their 'unwritten understanding' of not speaking badly about each other in public.
Hugh Jackman is 'extremely disappointed" over his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness. The former couple filed for divorce on May 23, nearly two years after announcing their separation. Just a few days later, Furness, an actress and philanthropist, broke her silence on the matter. In a statement to a media portal, she accused the Wolverine actor of 'betraying" her. Furness' words hinted at Jackman's rumoured extramarital affair with his The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster in 2022. Now, Jackman has finally reacted to his ex-partner's public remarks.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, an insider revealed that Hugh Jackman was blindsided by Deborra-Lee Furness' statement. It was because the 56-year-old believed that they had an agreement not to publicly trash each other after parting ways.
'Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said. There was no stipulation that she couldn't address this, but there was an unwritten understanding that she wouldn't trash him to the press. She got around this by not naming him, instead focusing on how she felt," said the source, as quoted by the media outlet.
Deborra-Lee Furness called her split from Hugh Jackman 'a profound wound that cuts deep." The Australian star, in a conversation with the Daily Mail, shared, 'My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. 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."
She added, 'I've gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we're presented with apparent adversity, it's leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom."
On a concluding note, Deborra-Lee Furness said, 'We're all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We're drawn to people, we invite them in, to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves. I remain grateful."
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met each other on the sets of an Australian television series in 1995. They got married a year later. The duo is parents to son Oscar and daughter Ava.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding 'under threat'; 'richest and most dangerous man in the world' is holding our home hostage, claim protestors
The much-anticipated wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez , set for June 24 in Venice, is facing fierce backlash from residents and activists who claim the lavish event is turning the historic city into a "playground for the wealthy." The $10 million celebration, planned on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, has triggered protests over blocked streets, luxury hotel takeovers, and environmental concerns, threatening to disrupt the Floating City during its peak tourist season. Venice locals are furious Venetians are furious over the scale of the wedding, which has led to Bezos reserving five opulent hotels and every water taxi in the city, according to a Daily Mail report. Enhanced security measures, including a heavy police presence, closed streets, and restricted airspace, are expected to accommodate an A-list guest list of celebrities, politicians, and business tycoons. The disruptions coincide with Venice's busiest travel period, exacerbating tensions in a city already strained by mass tourism. Local activist group Laboratorio Occupato Morion, which describes itself as an "anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and trans-feminist political space," is leading the charge against the event. The group has planned a protest for this Friday near St. Mark's Square, with a larger demonstration scheduled for the wedding day. Their rallying cry, 'No space for Bezos, No space for oligarchs!' is emblazoned on flyers featuring Bezos' head atop a rocket, accusing him of treating Venice as a personal playground. 'Jeff Bezos believes he can purchase the entire city,' the group's flyer declares. 'Those who live in Venice on a daily basis are left with discomfort, exclusion, and precariousness.' What are concerns regarding Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding The wedding's environmental impact is a major point of contention. Venice's fragile lagoon and polluted canals are already under strain from overtourism, and the arrival of private jets—though Bezos' four Gulfstream jets will be joined by others—adds to the city's carbon footprint. His $500 million superyacht, Koru, cannot dock near Venice due to its size, but the influx of guests is expected to further stress the city's delicate ecosystem. 'Bezos embodies what this city and global movements have been fighting against for decades—a financial and technological oligarchy that exploits workers, the planet, and entire territories,' said Alice Bazzoli, a spokesperson for Laboratorio Occupato Morion, in an interview with the Daily Mail. The group views the wedding as a symbol of growing inequality and the commodification of Venice, a UNESCO World Heritage Site struggling to preserve its cultural and environmental heritage. Full week of protests planned The protests last week is said to be just the beginning, with Laboratorio Occupato Morion planning a series of smaller events in the week leading up to the wedding, culminating in a major demonstration on June 24. Activists argue that the event highlights the broader issue of Venice being overtaken by wealthy elites, leaving locals feeling marginalized in their own city. City officials have not yet commented on the protests or the wedding's logistical arrangements, but the growing unrest signals a clash between Venice's residents and the global elite. As the wedding date approaches, all eyes are on whether Bezos and Sanchez's celebration will proceed as planned or face significant disruptions from an increasingly vocal opposition.

Brad Pitt reportedly reeling from divorce, but ‘admitting that publicly would give Angelina Jolie…'
Brad Pitt has reportedly been deeply affected by his years-long divorce war with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. When asked by GQ if the finalisation of his divorce in late 2024 brought him relief, Pitt replied, 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' But one source told the Daily Mail, 'Brad's had his fair share of meltdowns over the years as their feuding got more and more intense.'

He's aware she's struggled a lot, so he's decided to take the high road.' Pitt and Jolie's romance began on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003 and blossomed into marriage. The couple shared six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox. But following a 2016 incident on a private plane, Jolie filed for divorce and accused Pitt of abuse. The Bullet Train star has denied and was later cleared by authorities. Now, in the past year, several of the children have dropped 'Pitt' from their last names. Shiloh filed a legal petition to do so, while Zahara and Vivienne opted out of using it publicly. Pax even called Pitt a 'world-class a**hole' and a 'despicable person' in a private Father's Day post. 'They've fought about so many things that have brought him close to breaking point, including the winery and more importantly their children,' a source told Daily Mail.
