Hugh Jackman's Ex-Wife Deborra-Lee Furness Describes Their Split As A ‘Traumatic Journey Of Betrayal'

In the wake of their split, and pending divorce, Hugh Jackman's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness has described their break-up as a 'traumatic journey of betrayal', and shared the ways in which she's been navigating her marriage breakdown. Jackman appears to be in a new relationship with his former theatre co-star Sutton Foster, as they were seen holding hands on a date in LA back in January. Deborra-Lee, also an actor, filed for divorce from Jackman last week. Foster filed for divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage in October 2024. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' Furness wrote in her statement. '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. '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.' Furness added that the 'one thing' she has learned is 'that none of this is personal'. 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random,' she said. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.' Jackman and Furness met on an Australian TV show called Correlli back in 1995, which was his first role out of drama school, while she was already established in the industry. They then got engaged 4 months later and got married in Melbourne in April 1996, and adopted two children – Oscar and Ava, who are aged 24 and 19 respectively. The Wolverine star told Today back in 2018 that he knew two weeks into meeting Furness that they were 'going to be together for the rest of our lives.' The former couple announced their split back in September 2023, releasing the following statement: '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.' Rumours have swirled that Jackman had an affair with Foster, which would admittedly fit with Furness' descriptions of a 'traumatic journey of betrayal'. Jackman and Foster first met back in 2008 when she was starring in a Broadway production of Shrek. Their families became friendly, spending Memorial Day together back in 2022. In an interview with _Vogue_in 2022, Foster talked about her friendship with Jackman at length: 'He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous—and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn't make anything about him. And he's now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, Well, I hope we get along. But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It's really fun to meet new friends after 40.' Fans began to speculate whether Foster and Jackman were an item roughly four months after he had announced his split from Furness, when he was seen in the audience of a play she was performing in, Once Upon A Mattress , back in January 2024. As far back as 2014, the pair danced together in the audience of the Tony Awards, a year that Jackman himself was host. They then began performing together in The Music Man from late 2021, with Jackman posting on X (formally known as Twitter) paying tribute to Foster, calling her 'an exceptional talent and friend'. 'There are hundreds of people who've made this moment happen. But there's one in particular I pay tribute to - [@sfosternyc]{href=' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}. this show is nothing without you,' he wrote. 'You're an exceptional talent and friend. Your joy brings the company of [@MusicManBway]{href=' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} to life. Let's do this!' The post also included a video of the pair doing a dance routine together. Foster posted on Instagram shortly after calling dancing with Jackman 'a dream'.

How is Eddie Murphy now related to Martin Lawrence?

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are now related. The two actors are delighted that Eddie's son Eric Murphy, 35, and Martin's daughter Jasmin Lawrence, 29, "ran off and got married" at a "church" a couple of weeks ago, following their engagement in November 2024. Eddie - who starred in the 1999 Universal comedy-thriller 'Life' with Martin - spilled on their decision to elope to Jennifer Hudson, 43, on her eponymous talk show, saying: "They got married, like, two weeks ago. "They went off ... everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them. And then they got married." As Eric and Jasmin opted for a low-key affair, the 'Shrek' star - who has Eric with his former girlfriend Paulette McNeely, who he dated in the 1980s - joked that Martin no longer has to stump up a lot of cash to pay for a lavish wedding for his daughter. He joked: "Yeah, we're in-laws. And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now. "They went off and got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet, little thing. "Some people have like a big party, or something, but they ran off and got married." The 'Big Momma' star - who has Jasmin with his 54-year-old ex-wife Patricia Southall - previously revealed that he was expected to pay for Eric and Jasmin's wedding because Eddie covered the costs of his children's "last six weddings". Appearing on iHeartRadio's 'Big Boy's Neighborhood' in December 2024, Martin said: "Eddie said I gotta pay for it. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eddie's 1985 song 'Party All the Time' was the lead single on his first album 'How Could It Be', and it spent three weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. However, the 'Beverly Hills Cop' actor insisted he will not be singing if Eric and Jasmin - who began dating in 2021 - have a second wedding that will see the smitten couple say "I do" in front of family and friends or a celebratory party. But, he did not rule out on performing a "duet" with Martin. After Jennifer teased the idea of Eddie picking up a microphone and performing, the dad-of-10 said: "No, I'm not singing! Martin will sing at the wedding. Do a duet. Yeah, maybe."

Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer fans — watch out for ‘exclusive episodes' and leaked scenes. Here's why

If you're a fan of anime classics like Naruto , One Piece , Demon Slayer , Attack on Titan , or Jujutsu Kaisen , here's an important warning: beware of any links offering exclusive episodes, leaked scenes, or premium access. They could be traps set by cybercriminals. According to cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, over 251,000 attempts were made to deliver malware or unwanted files disguised as content from these popular anime titles. These scams often exploit Gen Z's strong connection to anime by using clickbait to lure unsuspecting users. Among the top targets: Naruto topped the list with 114,216 attack attempts — proving its enduring popularity despite airing over 20 years ago. Demon Slayer followed with 44,200 attempts, fueled by its recent global success. Live Events Attack on Titan ranked third with 39,433 malicious activity detections. But it's not just anime. Kaspersky also tracked malware campaigns using the names of hit Gen Z favorites like Shrek, Stranger Things, Twilight, Inside Out 2, and Deadpool & Wolverine. These titles alone were linked to over 43,000 attack attempts in early 2025 — with Shrek surprisingly leading the way, spiking to more than double its 2024 monthly average in March. Cybercriminals are also targeting streaming platform names. Kaspersky detected over 96,000 attempts involving fake branding of services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video , Disney+, Apple TV+, and HBO Max . Netflix was most exploited, with 85,679 attack attempts and over 2.8 million phishing pages mimicking its look. 'From beloved anime like Naruto to blockbusters like Inside Out 2, scammers are exploiting Gen Z's passion for digital content,' said Vasily Kolesnikov, a security expert at Kaspersky. 'As these threats grow, it's critical for young users to stay alert and learn how to protect themselves online.' Bottom line: If a link promises free access to unreleased content — think twice. It could cost more than you expect. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Eddie Murphy's son marries Martin Lawrence's daughter as couple elope

Former co-stars Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are now in-laws. It's been announced that the actors' respective children Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence have quietly got married, six months on from their engagement last year. The two actors are delighted that Eddie's son Eric Murphy, 35, and Martin's daughter Jasmin Lawrence, 29, "ran off and got married" at a "church" a couple of weeks ago, following their engagement in November 2024.

Asked who is more protective, himself or Eddie, he said: "I think we probably both are protective. We want the best for our children, but we let them do their own thing and make their choices."
