Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness divvy up real estate amid divorce, including $35 million NYC apartment
As tensions heat up in their divorce, Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee-Furness have started splitting up their real estate assets.
Furness, 69, reportedly paid $11.7 million (AU$18 million) to the company that the couple used to buy their glamorous New York City penthouse in 2022 for $21 million.
The luxury apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood is now valued at around $23 million, according to
People
, meaning that Furness has bought Jackman, 56, out.
Property records suggest that the Australian actress made the payment on May 25, two days before she officially filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage.
The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom apartment sprawls over 5,000 square feet across two floors, with an additional 3,700 square feet of outdoor space.
It's tucked near the Hudson River in a neighbourhood known for bold facades and even bolder celebrity residents.
The riverfront haven is just one of many standouts in the former couple's enviable real estate collection, which includes properties in the US, UK and at home in Australia.
It is believed that they still own together a waterfront apartment overlooking the iconic Bondi Beach, a second apartment in New York City's West Village and a Hamptons beach house.
The news comes after the former couple were reportedly struggling earlier this year to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune after it was revealed they didn't have a prenup.
The pair eventually reached an agreement behind the scenes.
'A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source revealed to
The Daily Mail
.
'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.'
It is believed their marriage began to unravel during COVID, which is around the same time Jackman struck up a friendship with Sutton Foster, his co-star on the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man.
In a recent statement, Furness hinted that the Wolverine star committed an act of 'betrayal', fuelling rumours that her former husband cheated on her with Foster.
Furness is now reportedly planning to publish a tell-all book, which will detail her side of the divorce.
Jackman is yet to release a statement about the divorce, but is believed to be 'extremely disappointed' in Furness' allegations about 'betrayal'.

Iman marks what would have been 33rd wedding anniversary with David Bowie
Iman has marked what would have been her 33rd wedding anniversary with David Bowie. The 69-year-old model got hitched to the musician on 6 June in 1992 in a wedding ceremony held at St James' Episcopal Church in Florence, Italy. David, who died in 2016 aged 69 from liver cancer, married Iman after a two-year courtship that began with a blind date in 1990 and she has now shared a heartfelt message and a series of intimate photographs from their wedding day in Florence. The model posted on Instagram about the anniversary, writing over a dark background in bold yellow letters: 'My memory loves you; it asks about you all the time.' She captioned the post simply with 'Wedding Anniversary' and '#BowieForever'. Iman and David's relationship became one of music and fashion's most enduring love stories. In her commemorative posts, the model also shared black and white and colour images from their wedding day. One photo shows her resting her head on David's shoulder, their fingers intertwined. In another, Iman is captured in a white halter gown holding a bouquet as she prepares to walk down the aisle. Other images show David adjusting his suit in front of a candlelit altar adorned with crosses, and the couple smiling together at the same altar. Additional moments include the pair's first dance and a shot of them laughing beside a tiered wedding cake. In her caption, Iman wrote: 'Wedding Anniversary June 6th, 1992 Florence, Italy', tagging her wedding photographer Brian Aris. She also shared David's The Wedding Song to accompany the posts on her Instagram Stories. Iman and David were first legally married in a private ceremony on 24 April 1992 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Iman celebrated that date on Instagram earlier this year, writing: 'When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.' David proposed in Paris on the banks of the River Seine. In August 2000, the couple welcomed their daughter, Alexandria Zahra Jones. In a 2021 interview with PEOPLE, Iman reflected on their bond following David's death. She said: 'I still feel married. Someone a few years ago referred to David as my late husband, and I said, 'No, he's not my late husband. He's my husband.' Through my memory, my love lives.'

Miley Cyrus reveals latest tattoo is tribute to her mum Tish
Miley Cyrus has revealed her latest tattoo is a tribute to her mother Tish Cyrus. The 32-year-old singer who has a range of body art has had the word 'muse' inked on her shoulder after describing her mum in the same way during an appearance at the Chanel Tribeca Festival Women's Luncheon in New York City. She was attending the event, held at the Greenwich Hotel Courtyard on 6 June, to celebrate the Through Her Lens programme. Speaking to People, Miley said about her new tattoo: 'It says 'muse'. And it's really for her, because my mom is my muse.' She added: 'My mom was going to get matching with me, but she was out of town.' Miley debuted the dainty new shoulder tattoo – inked by artist Michelle Santana at Bang Bang Tattoo – before the event via Instagram. The tattoo adds to her extensive collection of body art, which she recently spoke about in an interview with the New York Times, expressing mixed feelings about some of her older designs. 'A mistake that I made that I still think about is like 80 percent of my tattoos,' she said. Miley added: 'I don't regret them enough to laser them, but some of them, like... I mean I love my cat, but like, I didn't need that... there's just a few I could do without.' Miley's 'muse' tribute comes shortly after speculation circulated about a falling-out between her and Tish, 58, when it appeared the singer's mum had unfollowed her daughter on social media. Miley addressed the rumours in a statement on her Instagram Stories in May. 'I rarely comment on rumours, but my mama and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us,' she wrote. Miley added: 'She's my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me — simple, coincidental, and uninteresting.' Tish later confirmed to People the unfollow was accidental, saying she had 'no idea how that happened' and had since corrected it. Reflecting on her priorities, Miley said: 'Now, in my thirties, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family.' Miley also spoke about her upcoming visual album, Something Beautiful, which is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month. The project traces different periods of her life through film. Asked whether she viewed her life in eras, Miley told People: 'I don't see anything, I feel like, with a divide. 'I do love this flow of whatever is real in the moment totally is valuable and exists and that's what the movie is a celebration of is that everything gets to coexist in not a way that's lost but actually found.'

Australian tennis star Daria Kasatkina announces engagement to Winter Olympic medallist partner Natalia Zabiiako
Tennis star Daria Kasatkina has capped off her first grand slam as an Australian by getting engaged to her partner Natalia Zabiiako, a Winter Olympic medallist. Kasatkina switched allegiances from Russia earlier this year, having previously said it was 'unsafe' for her to return home because of her sexuality and opposition to the war with Ukraine. 'For me, being openly gay, if I want to be myself, I have to make this step, and I did it,' the 28-year-old said in April ahead of her first match with an Aussie flag next to her name. How life has changed for the better in the space of three months. Kasatkina appeared to be the one to pop the question, with a picture shared by the couple showing her off a diamond ring on Zabiiako's finger. 'And just like that,' they wrote. Congratulations rolled in from around the tennis world. Arina Rodionova, a fellow Russian-born Australian tennis player, joked: 'I will be at the wedding regardless if you want it or not.' Alex de Minaur's partner Katie Boulter said: 'Ahh congrats.' Priscilla Hon: 'Awww congrats you two.' Rio 2016 Olympics gold medallist Monica Puig said: 'Congratulations!!!!!!!!' One-time Australian Open runner-up Jennifer Brady wrote: 'Congrats Dasha and Natalia!!!' Former figure skater Zabiiako, 30, competed for her birth nation Estonia before switching to Russia for the most successful period of her career. Her crowning achievement — a silver medal in the pairs figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics — came under the Olympic flag in the wake of the Russian doping scandal. She now supports Kasatkina on the tennis tour and the pair document their experiences on a popular YouTube channel. Freshly minted Australian Kasatkina is fresh off a run to the fourth round at the French Open. 'I felt super good to step on the court as an Australian player,' she said. 'To feel the support from the stands so many times. I don't know if everyone who was screaming, 'Aussie', were from Australia, but I felt this support. 'Also, on social media I'm getting a lot of support from the Australians that they are so happy to welcome me, and they're happy for me. 'So this is the kind of support which I honestly didn't have before, it feels like it's something new to me — but it feels so nice.' Kasatkina also reached the fourth round at the Australian Open in January before the secret process to become an Aussie unfolded. The busy tennis season has kept the world No.17 from flying back to Melbourne to begin setting up her life here. But plans have been hatched with the help of Australian tennis veteran Daria Saville, who became friends with Kasatkina when they were both juniors in Russia. Saville, formerly Gavrilova, moved to Melbourne as a teenager and married Australian tennis player Luke Saville in 2018. 'We've been friends for very, very long time and to have someone like that as a neighbour, as a teammate, it feels great, honestly,' Kasatkina said during the French Open. 'First of all, she's super happy for me, which was super nice. She's always asking 'when you moving?', sending me the locations, the houses and everything. 'So she's very excited to have a new neighbour, and I'm also very happy about that.'
