Deborra-Lee Furness 'back in the dating game' following her bitter split from Hugh Jackman - after Aussie actor moves on with Sutton Foster
Deborra-Lee Furness is said to be back in the dating game after finalising her divorce with Hugh Jackman last month.
The Australian actress, 69, is reportedly courting offers from potential suitors - but is holding back until she can find a partner who meets her high standards.
'Deb is finally starting to heal and talk about what she wants in her life going forward,' an insider told this week's Woman's Day magazine.
'She's got an incredible support system that's been there every step of the way, helping her to pick up the pieces of her life. They are encouraging her to start dating again.'
They added that Furness had received offers from some 'incredible guys' but was holding back for the perfect match.

'She knows what she brings to the table,' the insider added.
Last month, Furness and Jackman finalised their divorce a month after filing, Daily Mail exclusively revealed.
A judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, making it official. The document, however, wasn't made public until June 23.
Prior to the judgment being entered, two other documents were filed on June 10 - a 'Qualified Medical Child Support Order', regarding children's insurance, and 'Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law.'
The divorce was essentially disposed of some time ago, but the judge needed to sign off on the judgment after a proposed judgment was entered.
Furness, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a 'spousal support payment,' according to an insider, who previously spoke to Daily Mail.
'A settlement was reached that Furness is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' they revealed.
'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.'
'There is not going to be any drama with this - it gives closure that she needed.'
In May, Daily Mail exclusively broke the news of Jackman, 56, and Furness, filing for divorce to officially terminate their 27-year marriage.
The film producer filed the complaint in New York on May 23 and, per the filings, everything has been ironed out behind the scenes.
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 a certificate of dissolution.
All that needed to be done was for the judge to sign off on the judgment.
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,' another source told Daily Mail.
'They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.'
They added that Jackman was 'looking forward to the future and not looking back'.
Shortly after news broke of the exes' divorce filing, Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement using the word 'betrayal' when speaking about her 'traumatic journey'.
Jackman has been dating his former The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster for months, although the timeline of when they began dating has never been confirmed.
The pair are said to be ignoring any negative talk about their romance - which some fans believed started as an affair while he was still married - and are 'looking to move forward' with their relationship.
A source previously claimed to Daily Mail that while Jackman 'didn't physically cheat' on his ex-wife, the 69-year-old believes they were having 'an emotional affair' and 'feels he betrayed her.'
