Other filings submitted by her lawyer include a notice concerning continuation of health care coverage, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form (used to report child support orders to the state's registry), the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and certificate of dissolution. All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment. Deborra, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a 'handsome spousal support payment,' according to an insider, who said there will be no 'drama' as they terminate their 27-year marriage. 'A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source told 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved.

A separate source said the divorce is 'non contested,' meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing. 'They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,' they said. 'They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.' They added that Jackman, who is dating Foster and was seen walking hand-in-hand with her days before the filing, is 'looking forward to the future and not looking back.'

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.' Back in January, exclusively reported that the estranged spouses had yet to file as their decision to dismiss a prenup was proving to be a point of contention. Insiders at the time claimed that their split could get 'messy ' as they were struggling to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. 'One of the biggest reasons why they haven't yet filed is that they never had a prenup,' an insider close to Jackman said. 'When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn't? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh's career to get as enormous as it has.' The pair met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school. They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19.

How Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness will split property portfolio
Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman nearly two years after they announced their split. The two confirmed their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. They share two adopted kids: son Oscar, 25, and daughter Ava, 19. It comes after news the 'X-Men' actor is preparing to move in with his new girlfriend, Sutton Foster. According to New Idea, Foster and Jackman have moved into his New York City penthouse together. An insider told the outlet Furness was upset that another woman was making herself at home in the home that she had 'poured her soul into'. 'They're inseparable. [Foster is] slowly migrating her things over to Hugh's place,' the insider said. The insider added that Furness is worried Jackman is moving too quickly in his new romance. 'She wants him to be happy — he deserves it and so do the kids — but Hugh's completely green when it comes to dating,' the source went on. 'She's concerned he's leaping into living with someone else way too soon. 'It's almost unreal [for Furness] seeing Sutton reap the rewards of all those years of her supporting Hugh,' another insider said. Back in March, Furness and Jackman were reportedly struggling to see eye-to-eye on how to divide their $US250 million ($A387 million) fortune. An insider told the Daily Mai l that the 'Correlli' actress was holding up their divorce as she felt 'entitled to more money' than Jackman was offering at the time. The pair have now reached an agreement. According to the documents, the divorce is uncontested and will require only a sign-off from a judge. 'A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, [Deborra] got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.' The insider added that Furness got the 'closure she needed.' Although details of Furness and Jackman's divorce agreement have not yet been made public, they have several pricey shared assets — including several homes that were purchased during their marriage. In 2008, the couple snapped up a stunning condo in New York City's West Village neighbourhood for $US21 million, Realtor reports. The three-floor property comes with five bedrooms, a spiral staircase, an exercise room, and more. The couple listed the home in 2022 for $US38.9 million after picking up a penthouse in Chelsea. According to Architectural Digest, it's unclear whether the property was ever sold. In 2015, Jackman and Furness purchased a 2.5-acre property in East Hampton, New York, for $US3.5 million. The pair spent six years transforming it into an opulent abode. Situated by the water, the property boasts three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a guesthouse with a bedroom and two bathrooms. The home features floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a stunning swimming pool. It is unclear who will gain ownership of this dwelling after the divorce. A year after purchasing their East Hampton home, the couple splashed out $US5.9 million on a property in Australia. It is believed that Jackman will take over the three-bedroom Bondi home following their divorce. One year before they ended their marriage, the couple snapped up a Chelsea two-storey penthouse for $US21.25 million. Jackman took sole ownership of this home, which is the property that he and Foster are reportedly residing in together. Meanwhile, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years just months before confirming her new romance with Hugh Jackman. The 'Younger' actress filed for an uncontested divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin on October 22, just months after she sold her historic estate in New York for $US2 million ($A3.03 million). Foster, who appeared alongside Jackman in the smash-hit Broadway show 'The Music Man,' had purchased the stunning home in Tuxedo Park, New York, in 2021 for $US1.6 million ($A2.4 million). According to Realtor, the Tony Award winner decided to list the seven-bedroom property for $US2.2 million ($A3.3 million) in December 2023. The decision to sell the home — which Foster once described as 'magical' — cannot have been an easy one, particularly as she once told Architectural Digest that the house 'felt like that home you want your kid to grow up in,' adding that she could see herself, Griffin, and their daughter, Emily, spending many a Christmas and holiday there. Foster listed the home the same month that rumours began to swirl about her romance with Jackman. Multiple reports claimed the pair's onstage chemistry turned into a real-life relationship while they were starring in the wildly successful Broadway show 'The Music Man,' which ran from December 2021 until January 2023. Foster listed the home the same month rumours about her romance with Jackman began to swirl. Parts of this story first appeared in Realtor and were republished with permission.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' close family determined to find ‘best possible' way to mend rift
Australian radio presenter Gus Worland, who's been best friends with Hugh Jackman for the majority of their lives, has broken his silence over the bitter row between the actor and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. Worland, who went to the same primary school as Jackman, has shared an insight into how Jackman and Furness are dealing with the unexpectedly messy fallout of their split in recent days since Furness released a bombshell statement. 'No one wants anyone to go through what he is, and he is going through it publicly because of his fame,' Worland said during an interview on 2GB's Ben Fordham Live on Thursday. 'One thing I have been really strict on is to let Hugh and Deborra-Lee do what they have had to do. I was over in New York with him last month and he is fine. He is going along well.' Worland went on to add that Jackman is busy enjoying his new life with girlfriend Sutton Foster, whom he met while still married to Furness. '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.' Jackman and Furness had both maintained a dignified silence about their split, since announcing in September 2023 they'd gone their separate ways after 27 years of marriage. But that all changed with Furness' blistering public statement this week, issued to tabloid outlet Daily Mail. In it, Furness, 69, speaks of experiencing a 'traumatic journey of betrayal' that 'cut deep'. She said the 'breakdown' of the couple's marriage had been 'a profound wound', but also suggested she was better off single. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' she said. It's a marked contrast to the former couple's joint statement announcing the split, which couched the reality of their separation in therapy-speak about 'navigating this transition' with 'gratitude, love and kindness'. Reports of Jackman's new romance with Sutton Foster, 50, first surfaced in late 2024. Foster and Jackman then took their romance public in January this year when they 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 while in San Fernando, California.

Resurfaced photos show Hugh Jackman's 17-year history with new girlfriend Sutton Foster as his divorce from ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness turns nasty
Resurfaced photos show that Hugh Jackman and his new girlfriend Sutton Foster were long-time friends for almost two decades before going public with their romance in January. The couple's relationship is currently under the spotlight amid the Aussie actor's messy divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. One picture taken from way back in December 2008 captured the pair happily posing together at The Broadway Theatre in New York City as they attended the Shrek musical. Hugh, 56, and fellow Broadway star Sutton, 50, beamed from ear-to-ear as they cuddled up together, 16 years before they began dating. They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014.

They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014 The pair were seen leaning into each other as they performed an elegant waltz for fellow A-list guests. During the dance, they seemed to share intense chemistry, years before their friendship blossomed into a romance. This week Hugh shared a very telling post after his ex-wife Deborra-Lee broke her silence on her divorce from her husband of 27 years. The Greatest Showman star took to social media on Wednesday to post a clip of him nailing a skipping routine in his show Hugh Jackman Live From New York With Love, which he's performing at Radio City Music Hall. However, it was the clip's chosen background track - NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye - that raised eyebrows considering the recent divorce developments. The video, which was posted to his 34.1 million followers, is clearly a reference to Deadpool & Wolverine, the 2024 movie that he filmed with Ryan Reynolds which features the hit song. However the timing of the post - as well as its one word caption of 'Finally' - made it all the more cryptic. The video was posted the same day that Deborra-Lee took a swipe at her estranged husband amid the flurry of rumours that he cheated on her with his current girlfriend Sutton. Hugh and Sutton confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles Following her decision to officially file for divorce from the Les Miserables star two years after announcing their separation, the Australian actress, 69, addressed her heartbreak in an exclusive statement to 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said. '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. She continued, '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.' Despite Hugh and Sutton only going public with their relationship in January, rumours are already circulating that public scrutiny is beginning to come between the couple. 'It's always hard dating in the public eye... but when you add their whole backstory and what they've put on the line as far as their reputations, the pressure rises,' an insider recently told Life and Style magazine. They added the pair were finding it challenging to keep the romance alive due to work commitments, including Hugh spending several months in Ireland to film a movie. 'Being apart for an extended period of time can be tough on any couple. There's a lot of harsh judgement about them online,' the source said. However, the couple, who were first romantically linked in October last year, are said to be 'madly in love', according to US Weekly. They ran in the same theatre circles for years, but only became friends after working together on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man while they were both with their former partners. The pair confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles.
