Huge sign Hugh Jackman's ex is finally over him
Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, stunned fans when they announced their split back in 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
While Furness has remained single ever since their break-up, Jackman has entered a very public romance with fellow Broadway star Sutton Foster.
An insider has now claimed that those closest to her are 'encouraging' her to be open to finding romance with a new man.
'Deb is finally starting to heal and talk about what she wants in her life going forward,' an insider told Woman's Day magazine.
'She's got an incredible support system that's been there every step of the way, helping her to pick up the pieces of her life.
'They are encouraging her to start dating again.'
It's been a difficult few months for Furness, who shocked fans when she released a bombshell statement recently calling out Jackman.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' Furness said.
'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.''
Furness went on to say that she had 'gained much knowledge and wisdom' through 'the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage'.
'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' she said.
Furness finished the statement by offering the 'one thing' she had learned in the split: 'That none of this is personal.'
She said she remained 'grateful' for her time with Jackman.
Jackman was linked to his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, 50, soon after his split from Furness was announced, and the pair were spotted kissing in public for the first time in January of this year.
Foster had filed for divorce from her Ocean's Eleven screenwriter husband Ted Griffin after 10 years of marriage in October last year.
Jackman and Foster, who had known each other for years, co-starred in The Music Man on Broadway from 2021 to 2023.
Speaking to the Herald Sun in January this year, Furness said she was feeling positive about the future, offering that she was now in 'chapter three' of her life following her shock split from her husband of several decades.
'I've had a few offers for films back here so I'm still reading some scripts so if there's something that's great,' she said.
'I've got some projects in New York. I'm in my chapter three. I'm a creative, I love being creative in a variety of areas and I think I'll be doing more travelling.'

Footage surfaces of Dave Franco, Alison Brie's ‘nasty' public act
Alison Brie and Dave Franco might be taking togetherness a step too far. Footage of Brie cutting Franco's toenails while sitting on a picnic blanket in Griffith Park in Los Angeles surfaced on social media on Tuesday — and fans had plenty of thoughts. The Community actress was seen discarding her husband's toenails in the grass, as he scrolled through his phone looking completely unbothered, per Page Six. While some were grossed out, others speculated it might just be promotion for their new horror flick, Together, in which they play a co-dependent couple. 'They're both comedians. They tend to do stuff like this, the cameraman is probably even with them,' one Reddit commenter wrote. 'This is probably staged, and if it's not, the person filming is a lot weirder than they are,' another chimed in. 'This got to be for the new movie cuz why else would they be doing this in public?' a third speculated. Meanwhile, others couldn't contain their disgust. 'Yeah that's nasty Alison,' one user reacted via X, while another commented, 'Doing this for a man in private is also wild …' Another user chimed in, 'TMI. Some things don't need to be shared on here man.' Brie, 42, and Franco, 40, have already made waves with the promo for Together, a supernatural horror film they starred in and produced. On Monday, Neon Films posted a picture on Instagram of the two intimately kissing in front of a billboard of their characters kissing in the film, encouraging people to take similar photos. 'The perfect couple in 'the perfect date night horror movie,'' the caption reads in part. Brie and Franco have been married since March 2017 and have worked together multiple times. She previously talked about what it was like having her husband direct her sex scenes with Jay Ellis in the movie Somebody I Used to Know. 'I realise that it sounds wild, but we are actors, this is our job,' she told Jezebel. 'It's actually not that weird. And with something like this, because it's our baby that we made together, I think our first priority is always just the movie.'
