How Hugh Jackman and Wife Are Dividing Massive $387M Fortune
Hugh Jackman reached an agreement with his soon-to-be ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness about who gets which multi-million dollar property out of their $387 million in assets, according to the Daily Mail, paving the way for the official end to their nearly 30-year marriage. Deborra-lee Furness, 69, filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, earlier this month, following the couple's separation announcement in 2023. Since then, Jackman began dating his Music Man co-star Sutton Foster, with whom he's now presumed to be living at the $23 million three-story condo in New York's Chelsea neighborhood that he secured in his final round of behind-the-scenes negotiations with Furness. Other properties the exes agreed to split include their $12 million Bondi beach retreat in their native Australia, a $3.5 million beachfront property in the East Hamptons, and more properties across the United States and Australia. Their agreement also secures Furness continued healthcare coverage and medical child support. She and Jackman share two adopted kids, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19. The agreement, when signed by a judge, will end the bargaining between the former couple that ultimately became bitter after Furness argued for more of the X-Men star's fortune. Just after she officially filed to divorce Jackson, Furness characterized their split by 'betrayal' with a statement. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she told Daily Mail. 'It's a profound wound that cuts deep,' she added, explaining that her belief in a 'higher power' helped her 'navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.' The couple's separation had seemed amicable before then, as their joint statement said their 'wonderful, loving marriage' was ending because their 'journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' The 'betrayal' could easily refer to Foster, 50—Jackman's younger new flame. Foster filed for divorce from her husband of ten years, screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024, just as rumors of her romance with Jackman heated up. Their divorce was filed uncontested, reported Page Six. As Jackman and Furness have reached an agreement about who gets what out of Jackman's massive fortune, their divorce is now uncontested as well, per Daily Mail sources.

Inside Hugh Jackman's Breathtaking Real Estate Portfolio amid Divorce from Deborra-lee Furness
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness's divorce comes with a bevy of impressive assets that will be divided up among the spouses of nearly three decades. Furness, 69, officially filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, on May 23, nearly two years after they first announced their split in 2023. As of Friday, May 30, the pair are awaiting a judge's signoff to finalize their nearly $400 million settlement. Throughout their marriage, the former couple occupied properties around the world, including in the U.S., U.K. and their native Australia. At present, their high-ticket homes include a two-story apartment in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood, a penthouse overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney and a waterfront home in the Hamptons. Jackman and Furness purchased their impressive downtown Manhattan abode for about $21 million in 2022, just a year before announcing their split, according to Architectural Digest. The penthouse apartment comes in at nearly 5,000 square feet spread across two floors, plus another 3,700 square feet of outdoor space — the ultimate N.Y.C luxury. It's located near the Hudson River in a starchitect-designed building in an area that is well known for its eye-catching facades and famous tenants. Recently Jackman has been spending much of his time in New York, where he is currently juggling two gigs on stage, starring in an Off-Broadway show, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, and a concert series at Radio City Music Hall, called From New York, With Love. Jackman and Furness have bought, sold and rented numerous apartments and homes around Sydney since they first met on the set of an Australian TV series in 1995 and married the following year. Their most recent acquisition appears to be an ultra-modern condo overlooking the city's famous Bondi Beach. They paid a reported $6 million for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom spread in 2016, per AD. Jackman is regularly spotted making the most of the property's stunning seaside setting. In December 2024, he was photographed after having taken a summer dip in the ocean wearing a pair of blue-and-white patterned drawstring board shorts. Long before buying their current house, Jackman, Furness and their two children, son Oscar and daughter Ava, were already regular visitors to the world-famous stretch of sand. The one home the former couple shared with the world is their modernist Hamptons hideaway, which was published in an AD feature in November 2021. Jackman and Furness purchased an empty 2.5-acre waterfront plot for $3.5 million in 2015 and spent the next six years building a custom Long Island retreat with three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a guest house and access to a private beach. Furness called the place her "dream home,' sharing, "It's like, bucket list, tick it off. I've done it, and I loved it.' Jackman also praised his then-wife's decorating prowess. 'Because of Deb's design, it brings us all together," he told the outlet. Still, in 2023, the same year they announced their separation, they chose to list the house for rent for the entire summer, rather than use it themselves. The asking price was $166,000 per month, the New York Post reported at the time. They reportedly picked up an impressive London pied-a-terre in 2021, according to the Post, though at the time the property was not even complete, and it's not known whether they moved in. Another N.Y.C. property's status is also currently unknown: the three-story West Village penthouse the couple purchased for a reported $21 million in 2008. Their primary family home for many years, the 11,000 square foot property had five bedrooms, including a full-floor primary suite at the top. They listed it for sale for $39 million in 2022, but it remains unclear if the property has sold, per AD. Read the original article on People

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:

'Moving on': Hugh Jackman's primary school best friend pleads with his ex Deborra-Lee Furness after her shock 'betrayal' statement
Hugh Jackman's best friend has pleaded with his ex Deborra-Lee Furness after she made a surprising "betrayal" statement amid their high-profile divorce. Radio personality Gus Worland, who attended Pymble Public School with Jackman, spoke to 2GB's Ben Fordham Live on Thursday and revealed how the Deadpool & Wolverine star is faring amid the drama. Worland said Jackman is "moving on", suggesting he is happy with his life as the pair navigate their divorce, and urged Furness, 69, to do the same. "He is moving on with his life. I hope Deb does as well. They were together for 30 years and have two beautiful kids together," he said. "I go to their kids and ask them what we can do to make sure they get through this as best as possible." Worland said he was with Jackman in New York City last month, where the Greatest Showman star was "fine" and "going along well." At the same time, he said Jackman was still "going through" the emotions that come with his divorce being splashed across the media. "No one wants anyone to go through what he is, and he is going through it publicly because of his fame," Worland said. Jackman's longtime pal five decades said he has been "really strict" on supporting both exes in doing whatever they need to do to move on. Furness finally filed for divorce from Jackman in New York City last Friday, according to on Wednesday. It comes two years after the former couple announced their split in September 2023 in a move which shocked some Hollywood insiders. Furness then took a very surprising public swipe at the Deadpool & Wolverine star in a candid statement to the same publication. The actress said her "heart and compassion goes 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 said. "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." Later, Jackman took to Instagram to share a cryptic video of himself skipping to the tune of NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye in his solo stage show Hugh Jackman Live From New York With Love at Radio City Music Hall. The hit was most likely a nod to Jackman and actor Ryan Reynolds' starring film Deadpool & Wolverine, which features the single. However, the inclusion of the song was notable, given the timing. Jackman also raised eyebrows with a pointed one-word caption. "FINALLY," he wrote. Furness's lawyer Elena Karabatos reportedly submitted further filings which include a health care coverage notice, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form, the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and a certificate of dissolution of the 27-year union. It's understood Furness and Jackman have agreed to their divorce terms and both parties can expect a judge to sign the judgment. A Daily Mail insider said a "settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with". This could suggest Jackman and Furness negotiated to reach an agreement after their divorce was reported stalled over money in January. Furness believed she was "entitled to money," and Jackman refused. "Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets," a source told Daily Mail Australia in March. "Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer. Speculation also emerged the Jindabyne actress was bitter about their split. "While he didn't physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair, and she feels he betrayed her," the source said. Jackman and his former The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster, 50, confirmed widespread speculation they were together in January. The couple were spotted holding hands in Santa Monica, California. That same month, photos surfaced of the lovebirds making out in an In-N-Out drive-thru in San Fernando, California. Jackman and Foster were seen laughing and kissing in a Range Rover. Foster split from her husband of ten years, Ted Griffin, last October. They share a seven-year-old adopted daughter, Emily. She is believed to be moving into Jackman's New York penthouse, which he purchased for USD$21.12 million (AUD $30 million) in 2022 with Furness. In February, a source close to the Oscar-nominated star told Closer Jackman 'wants to make Sutton his wife'. The source said the timing of Jackman's official divorce from Furness will impact when he can get married again, but that 'as soon as they are both free and clear, they (Jackman and Foster) want to walk down the aisle'.

Hugh Jackman's Pal Reveals How The Actor Is Dealing With His 'Difficult' Divorce After Ex-Wife's 'Betrayal' Claim
As Hugh Jackman navigates life after his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness, a trusted friend, Gus Worland, has shed light on their split. Speaking on 2 GB's Ben Fordham Live Thursday, the Australian radio presenter described the breakdown of their marriage as "difficult," adding that it particularly took a major toll on Jackman because of his fame. Worland's comments come after Deborra-Lee Furness broke her silence on her divorce, hinting that it was a case of "betrayal" on the part of Hugh Jackman. Following Deborra-Lee Furness' unexpected decision to speak out about her divorce from Hugh Jackman, a close friend of the "Wolverine" actor has now shared his perspective on the separation. Worland revealed on 2 GB's Ben Fordham Live Thursday that the split, which came after nearly thirty years of marriage, was "difficult." As a close friend of Jackman, he also offered a rare glimpse into how the actor has been coping, noting that Jackman's level of fame only made the situation more challenging. "No one wants anyone to go through what he is, and he is going through it publicly because of his fame," he said on the show. Despite everything, Worland believes Jackman is embracing this new chapter of his life with resilience. "I was over in New York with him last month, and he is fine. He is going along well," the radio presenter added, per the New York Post. Barely 24 hours ago, Furness spoke about her divorce in a cryptic statement that hinted at Jackman "betraying" her. "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," Furness said, seemingly referencing her estranged husband's romance with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. "It's a profound wound that cuts deep," she added, per The Blast. "It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values, and boundaries is liberation and freedom." Reflecting further on her split, Furness claimed that "one thing" she's learned is that "none of this is personal and that we are all on "our individual journeys." "I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random," she continued. "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." The statement from Furness comes after she filed for divorce from the "Wolverine" star on May 23 at a court in New York, per the Daily Mail. The move brings an end to the estrangement between the duo, as the couple had been separated since 2023. The divorce is also expected to be finalized quickly, as the filing revealed that the duo isn't contesting over any assets. It remains unclear how the duo chose to split their assets, but sources have claimed that the settlement they reached "pleased" Furness after earlier reports that she wanted far more than Jackman was willing to offer. "There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but in the end, she got what she believed she deserved," an insider told the outlet about the agreement, which includes a" handsome spousal support payment." "There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed," they added. When Furness and Jackman announced their split in 2023, they issued a joint statement, making it clear that it would be their only public comment on the matter, per People Magazine. In the statement, they emphasized their continued mutual respect and shared commitment to family, saying, "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority." Now, nearly two years later, their approach reportedly remains the same, particularly when it comes to co-parenting their children, Ava Eliot and Oscar Maximillian. "They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be," a second source told the Daily Mail about the former couple. Amid Jackman and Furness's divorce, the actor's new lover, Foster, is said to have started "slowly migrating" her belongings into his home in New York as their romance continues to blossom. The couple was recently spotted carrying moving boxes into the lavish apartment Jackman purchased with his ex-wife in 2022 for $21.12 million. Later, Sutton was seen leaving Hugh's upscale residence before hopping onto a Citi Bike rather than ordering an Uber. While the move may come as no surprise, given that the two have been "living together" and are said to be "inseparable," it has reportedly not sat well with Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. "Deb is shattered knowing Sutton is making the penthouse her own - the place she poured her soul into," an insider told the outlet about Jackman's ex, adding that she wants to be "treated fairly" as she navigates life after their split. "She wants him to be happy, but Hugh's completely green when it comes to dating. She's concerned he's leaping into living with someone else way too soon," the insider added, per the Daily Mail.
