Deborra-Lee Furness opened up about 'betrayal' in a candid statement after officially filing for divorce from Hugh Jackman following his alleged affair with Sutton Foster. The Daily Mail was the first to break the news that Furness filed for divorce from Jackman on May 23, almost two years after they announced their separation. The former couple announced their separation in September 2023, but it wasn't until the following year that sources claimed Jackman and Foster had an affair back in 2022 while starring together in The Music Man on Broadway.

The source said that the exes, who were married for 27 years, had some back and forth over their financial settlement but landed on 'a handsome spousal support payment' for Furness. '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,' a separate source said. Furness and Jackman share a 24-year-old son, Oscar, and a 19-year-old daughter, Ava. 'They are amicable, and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.'

Furness allegedly liked an Instagram post by gossip blogger Tasha Lustig that Jackman 'blindsided' his ex by 'running off with the mistress.' One of Furness' friends, Amanda de Cadenet, also commented, 'You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!'
