Hugh Jackman's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness hints at 'betrayal' as she files for divorce after 2 years of separation
Following 2 years of separation, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' official divorce proceedings are finally under way. In her first formal address of the situation, in an exclusive statement to Daily Mail, Deborra details her ebb and flow of healing, especially after having withstood "betrayal".
"My heart and compassion goes 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 reflects, having "gained much knowledge and wisdom" as she navigates this new phase of her life.
Calling the demise of her 27-year long marriage with Hugh, "a profound wound that cuts deep", she adds, "Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is 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".
Her one big takeaway? — "...none of this is personal".
She elaborates, "We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful".
Hugh and Deborra tied the knot on April 11, 1996. After 27 years of marriage, the duo announced the news of their separation in September 2023. Their exclusive statement to PEOPLE read, "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". Hugh and Deborra share children Oscar, 24, and Ava 19, the former having been adopted in 2000 and the latter in 2005.
As far as Hugh's healing goes, he was spotted hand-in-hand, in what appeared to be a lowkey Santa Monica dinner date with his Music Man co-star Sutton Foster, earlier this year in January.

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.' ALSO READ| Brad Pitt calls his 8-year spanning divorce from Angelina Jolie not 'that major of a thing' 'It affected him emotionally on many levels, but admitting that publicly for Angie to hear, he knows would give her great pleasure. 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.
