Hugh Jackman's Longtime Friend Says Actor's Last Couple of Years With Deborra-Lee Furness Were 'Difficult'
Deborra-Lee Furness has filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Hugh Jackman, two years after announcing their separation. The reports of the couple splitting after 30 years of marriage have been making the rounds on the internet. The Deadpool & Wolverine star's close friend, Gus Worland, revealed that the duo had been facing challenges in their union during the past few years.
Worland shares a strong bond with Jackman, and the friends have known each other since childhood. While making an appearance on the Ben Fordham Live show, the TV personality claimed that no one wants to go through something as painful, especially in public.
Gus' statement came after Furness talked about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' and claimed the divorce to be a 'wound that cuts deep.'

In conversation with the podcast host, Worland shared, 'No one wants anyone to go through what they've been through, and, of course, they go through everything publicly because of the type of people and the fame that they have.'
He further added, 'One thing that I've been really strict on, or disciplined on, is to let them do what they've had to do. I was over in New York with [Jackman] just last month and he's fine. He is going along well. He's moving on with his life and I hope that Deb does as well.'
Having known each other for so long, Worland and the Logan star have been godparents to each other's first child.
Jackman, who had been married to the Australian actress for three decades, shares two kids with her, Oscar and Ava. Further in his talks on the show, the TV star shared that the couple had been together for a really long time.
He went on to state, 'I just go to the kids and go, 'What can we do to make sure that they're going to get through this as well as possible?''
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their separation in September 2023, soon after their Met Gala appearance in May of the same year.

Viral Video: Canadian Woman Tastes Misal Pav, But Her Rating Is Not 10/10
Misal pav is a beloved food combination from Maharashtra. This spicy preparation has many fans across the country, and it is also making its way to menus at Indian restaurants abroad. Recently, a video showing a Canadian woman tasting misal pav for the first time took Instagram by storm. The reel shared by @veggmomo features someone off-camera explaining the dish and its various elements to her. She is instructed to combine the farsan with the "gravy" (known as the usal/rassa), and she uses up the entire bowl. Also Read: Italian Man Tries Maggi For The First Time, Watch His Reaction Next, she is told to squeeze lime juice on top, which she does. For the final step of assembling of the dish, she mixes chopped onions with the usal. Once it is ready, she eats a small morsel of the curry-farsan mixture with bread. Instead of scooping it directly, she uses a spoon to scoop it up and place it on a piece of bread. After her first taste of the misal pav, she says, "It's okay." She tastes it again and analyses its taste. She states, "It's good. I feel like it needs something sweet." When asked how much she would rate it out of 10, her verdict is 6.5. Her companion starts laughing. She says, "I'm still eating it. Don't take anything I say to heart."

Read some of the reactions below. "It's 10 out of 10, anytime favourite dish." "Did she say 'It's ok!!!!???' Misal is never ok, it's always awesome. Just kidding, enjoy your misal guys." "That is not the right way of eating Misal pav." "She put a lot of farsan, that's why she didn't enjoy it properly." "You know when you have fake missal.... when the ussal is so There's no tari on ussal and the pav is toasted....." "Actually bread should be dipped in you will get the rest of the by spoon but by hand." "This dish is not my favourite reaction." "Love her subtle expressions while trying out every new delicacy.

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. First Published:
