Hugh Jackman lists NYC Penthouse amid divorce From Deborra-Lee Furness
This decision comes shortly after he and his former spouse, Deborra-Lee Furness, agreed to divide the proceeds from the property.
The couple originally acquired the opulent residence in 2008 for $32 million (US$21million).
Over recent years, they opted to lease the penthouse, commanding a rental price of $19,200 (US$125,000) per month.
However, following their announcement in September 2023 that their nearly three-decade-long marriage had ended, Furness filed for divorce in May 2025.
Legal documents reveal that the divorce terms are uncontested, requiring only judicial approval to be finalised.

On June 5, it was disclosed that the couple had initiated the division of their shared assets, including the penthouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood.
While the Chelsea property awaits listing, Jackman and Furness are proceeding with the sale of the five-bedroom, New York City penthouse.
This residence spans three floors and offers 11,000 square feet of living space.
It features a dramatic double-height great room with expansive windows, a private workout studio, a luxurious sauna, and a library.
Designed by the renowned architect Richard Meier, the penthouse is heralded as a 'modernist masterpiece' with breathtaking views of the Hudson River.
The couple previously attempted to sell the property in 2022 at the same price but opted to rent it out in 2023 instead.
The timing of the listing coincides with reports from Australian publication New Idea, suggesting that Jackman and actor Sutton Foster have moved into one of his New York penthouses.
An anonymous source claimed Furness was upset about another woman residing in a home she cherished.
Jackman's current residence remains unspecified, but he has been based in Manhattan for the past six months, performing live shows at Radio City Music Hall.
Furness has not publicly addressed Jackman's relationship with Foster but expressed feelings of betrayal in a statement to the Daily Mail following her divorce filing.
'My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. 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,' she stated.
'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. 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.'
Beyond their New York properties, Jackman and Furness also own a 2.5-acre estate in East Hampton, NY, purchased for $5.4m (US$3.5 million) in 2015, according to realtor.com.
The property, which underwent extensive renovations, features three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guesthouse, and a stunning swimming pool.
The couple own a $12m apartment in Sydney, which they purchased for $5.9 million in 2015.

‘Untrustworthy' people: Brooke Hogan's shock move years before Hulk's death revealed
Brooke Hogan is avoiding any potential issues surrounding Hulk Hogan's large estate. The daughter of the wrestling legend removed herself from Hogan's will in 2023 to avoid a financial battle following his death because she didn't trust the people around Hogan, New York Post reports, citing TMZ. Brooke's biggest concern at the time was trying to protect her dad from those she felt were attempting to take advantage of him; however, the two disagreed over the subject and she eventually reached out to Hogan's financial manager to have herself taken out of the will, according to the report. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, died at the age of 71 last week after a cardiac arrest in Clearwater, Florida. Brooke, 37, will still receive some money from a life insurance policy that she was a beneficiary on and that she will put toward her kids' college funds. The eldest of Hogan's two children opened up for the first time about her father's passing and her estrangement from him in an Instagram post on Tuesday. 'My dad's blood runs through my veins. His eyes shine through my children. And our blood has never broken, not even in his final moments,' Brooke wrote. 'We never had a 'big fight.' My father and I never 'fought.' It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support.' Brooke later detailed how she and her husband, Steven Olesky, moved to Florida in order to be closer to her father as he got older and she had been there with him for nearly 25 surgeries before he 'all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries.' Brooke was not in attendance for Hogan's September 2023 wedding to his third wife, Sky Daily, and the two had their last conversation two weeks before the wedding, TMZ reported. In a separate post, Brooke posted a video of a montage of photos of Hogan and herself set to Steve Nicks' song 'Crystal.' 'You were my everything, and I will always be your girl. I am PROUD to be your daughter — for all the love, light, and goodness you brought into this world. Thank you for choosing me in this lifetime, and for loving me so deeply,' she captioned the post in part. 'Our bond is eternal. That truth brings me comfort and hope, even in your absence.

Great, yet another beauty standard women have to meet
OPINION First, it was our waists in 2019 when Skims launched tummy control shapewear. Then in 2022, it was tiny bikinis, with Kim Kardashian, the brand's founder, telling her customers, 'I wanted to take away the anxiety of buying swimwear'. The bottoms were smaller than dental floss. 2023 arrived, and the brand, currently valued at nearly $5 billion, decided women must shun their current breasts in favour of having perkier ones with constantly erect nipples, thanks to their 'revolutionary' nipple bra. This year alone, we've seen the launch of Skims' bum-enhancing shorts with actual butt pads to give you that Brazilian Butt Lift look without the surgery. And then just months later, the 'Ultimate Hip' shorts launched, which feature foam pads at the hips to give you that cartoon-hourglass silhouette. Now it seems Skims has run out of body parts to mould, lift and enhance, so they've turned to … our face. Introducing Skims' face shapewear Just when you thought your jawline was safe, this week, Skims launched its Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap. It's no coincidence that the eerie-looking pull-on contraption closely resembles a post-surgery compression garment because it promises to sculpt the cheek, neck, and chin to give you that 'snatched' appearance. Yes, the same look that the Kardashians achieved with much more expensive, potentially surgical treatments. But for the comparatively cheap price of $88, this face wrap promises to give you similar results, and all you have to do is wear it every day for the rest of your life! And while you sleep! Because women apparently aren't ever allowed to rest. According to the Skims website, the product, which is made from the same fabric blend as its snatching bodysuits, is a 'must have'. And given that it's already sold out worldwide, clearly that messaging has worked. Naturally, the internet is flooded with opinions about the product, with camps clearly divided into: 'This is what we've come to?' and 'Actually, low-key love this'. And Skims definitely expected this debate, and dare I say it, planned it. A controversial product is in their DNA. But at what point do we say enough is enough? What are we going to see next? Shapewear for your feet, à la foot binding in Ancient China? Our heads can't even relax now While it's funny to joke and brush off these products as dystopian rage-bait, I feel like we actually need to call this out for what it is – Kardashian continuing to capitalise on women's insecurities and the beauty standards she has been shaping forever. The Skims Instagram account has over six million followers, and Kardashian's has 350 million, which means there's a whole lot of women whose perception of beauty might be changed from a single post. Don't get me wrong. I love a bit of a beauty gimmick, like dunking your face in ice water in the morning for a more 'awake' look. It's relatively harmless, albeit momentarily painful, based in science and most importantly, it's free. But this goes beyond an innocent wellness trend. When you start charging nearly a hundred dollars for something that looks like a medieval torture device while implying you'll look snatched like Kim if you buy it, even though you won't, it doesn't just feel like a fun beauty trick – it feels harmful. 'Relentless cycle of perfectionism' Jaimee Krawitz, founder of the Hide N Seek Foundation, a national initiative aimed at changing the language around body image and eating disorders, tends to agree. 'Products like this reinforce the idea that even our faces need 'fixing' to be acceptable, feeding into a relentless cycle of self-surveillance and perfectionism,' Ms Krawitz tells 'For young people especially, it sends a harmful message that natural features aren't enough, eroding self-worth and distorting what beauty really means. It's not just about the product, it's about the pressure it silently places on those watching.' No lasting change Seriously – is there a single woman on this planet who ever thought, 'You know what my life is missing? Spanx for my face.' Cosmetic experts have even said that a tight garment like this will likely only give you a few seconds of a slimmer face, due to reduced puffiness and swelling. But ultimately, things will just revert to how they were before. So while you might look more snatched in a mirror selfie, I worry about what this might do to your lasting confidence. Will you think that you're not as beautiful without it? Will this become a gateway product making you want to get surgery? But could this somehow be empowering? If you think I'm being dramatic, I get it. I can already hear you typing through the screen: 'Let women do what they want!' And I'm a big supporter of that sentiment. I really am. But with this, I fear it's not really what women want. It's what they've been told they should want. And it's outdated. The history of facial straps and bandages goes back centuries, most recently in the early 1900s, when beauty salons advertised chin straps to 'lift' sagging skin and get rid of double chins. It's the same concept now, just packaged differently, with Skims giving it a chic twist and adding an Instagram-worthy filter. In 2025, this is just the latest version of a long tradition that tells women they need to compress themselves, look thinner and appear younger. And in a world where it's normalised to talk about weight loss injections, buccal fat removal, and face taping, it's easy to feel angry about Skims' latest release, which seems perfectly timed. Can Kardashian stop trying to cash in on this skinny-obsessed climate and leave our jaws, and faces alone?

Former guest makes startling new claims about Ellen DeGeneres: ‘Worst person'
A comedian has made startling new claims about Ellen DeGeneres' alleged behaviour behind the scenes of her now-cancelled talk show. Adam Carolla appeared on conservative commentator Emily Jashinsky's podcast After Party on July 30, where he was asked his thoughts on the star's recent move to the UK after Donald Trump's presidential win. The former Man Show host said that he believed the likes of DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell moved across the pond as Trump's win last November 'triggered the unravelling of very talented people'. But Carolla claimed that DeGeneres has always been a 'mean person', so said it came as a surprise to him that she is now speaking about the 'grave injustice' – as host Jashinsky described it – happening in the US under Trump's new immigration policy. Carolla then shared an anecdote of the two occasions he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where was met by staff who were 'scared to death' of the talk show host. 'I knew they were scared because it's like, I was just sitting in my dressing room and their segment producer came in, and he went, 'All right, so we went over all the stuff we're going to talk about.' You know, Christmas vacation or whatever it was. And I go, 'Yeah, yeah,'' he recalled on the podcast. At the time, DeGeneres was a staunch vegan and so the producer wanted to avoid certain topics on air during the 2012 taping. '[The producer] goes, 'You're not going to talk about meat or beef or anything like that, right?' And I go, 'No, I'm not. I'm just going to talk about the stuff we talked about – going on vacation at Christmas or the kids or you know, their anecdotes.'' But Carolla claims the producer returned to the room to again drill into him that meat products were not to be discussed. 'He came back like 20 minutes later right before I went out, and he's like, 'OK, but don't talk about beef or meat or any[thing],'' he recalled. 'I was like, 'Oh, this guy's scared to death.'' Carolla then shared a conversation he had with another staffer who labelled DeGeneres the 'worst person'. 'Later on, I talked to someone who signed an NDA, so I won't say his name, but he wrote for Ellen,' Carolla shared. 'I just went, 'How's Ellen?' And he said, 'Worst person, worst person. Not worst person I've worked for. Worst person I've ever met.'' DeGeneres' reputation first took a hit in 2020, after several anonymous The Ellen DeGeneres Show employees came forward with allegations of racism, sexual misconduct, and hostility behind the scenes in a BuzzFeed exposé. Her show subsequently came to an end in 2022 after 19 seasons, with the star officially calling it quits. 'I want you to know I thought about this decision for a long time,' DeGeneres said on the show at the time. 'I meditated on it, I talked to [wife] Portia, I talked to myself … The point is, I need to take a break from talking. I always trust my instincts, and my instincts told me it's time.' DeGeneres said her reasoning for quitting was because it was 'just not a challenge anymore'. 'When you're a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged. And as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it's just not a challenge anymore,' she said.
