It’s the end of an era for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness.
After 27 years of marriage, the long-time couple has officially finalized their divorce.
What began quietly behind closed doors wrapped up with legal paperwork and emotional reflections—marking the end of one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories.
Divorce Finalized, But Quietly Processed
Although their divorce judgment was filed on June 12, it wasn’t made public until June 23.
A couple of important documents, including a medical child support order and legal findings, had already been submitted on June 10.
All that was left was the judge’s signature to make it official—and now, that’s done.
Spousal Support and Settlement Handled Without Drama
Sources close to the couple say Deborra-Lee is walking away with a comfortable settlement.
According to one insider, “She’s pleased with the agreement, especially the spousal support.”
While there was some negotiation involved, the insider emphasized that both Hugh and Deborra-Lee are financially secure moving forward.
Importantly, there’s reportedly no tension between them now. “This divorce brings the closure Deborra needed,” the source added. “It’s amicable. No drama.”
How It All Unfolded Behind the Scenes
The official divorce filing took place on May 23 in New York, initiated by Deborra-Lee.
The paperwork revealed a smooth, uncontested process.
Everything from alimony to child-related expenses was sorted out quietly.
Legal filings included health care notices, settlement details, and the final judgment—all prepped and ready for sign-off.
One source described it as a well-planned and civil process: “They handled everything respectfully and remain dedicated to co-parenting their children.”
Emotional Fallout and the Word That Shocked Fans
While the divorce proceedings were calm, Deborra-Lee’s emotional response revealed just how much the split affected her.
In a heartfelt public statement, she described her experience as one of “betrayal,” sparking speculation and sympathy from fans.
She wrote, “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal… It’s a profound wound that cuts deep.”
She went on to speak about trusting in a higher power and the lessons she’s learned during the breakdown of her marriage.
Her statement emphasized self-growth: “Even when faced with adversity, I believe it leads us to our greatest good… It’s about living in your integrity and finding freedom.”
Cheating or Emotional Affair? The Speculation Around Sutton Foster
Since the separation, rumors have swirled about Hugh’s relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster.
While there’s no confirmation of a physical affair, sources claim Deborra-Lee felt emotionally betrayed.
“She believes Hugh and Sutton had an emotional affair,” a source said.
“That’s what hurt her most—she felt emotionally abandoned even before the split.”
Splitting Up the Real Estate—and the Wealth
When it comes to dividing assets, the ex-couple made a major decision: splitting their $24 million Manhattan penthouse down the middle.
The luxurious apartment, which they bought for just over $21 million in 2022, hasn’t been listed for sale but has already undergone a legal property transfer.
While they haven’t publicly shared how they’re dividing their estimated $387 million fortune, this property split offers a glimpse into how things are being resolved.
Hugh Steps Back Into the Spotlight—But Ticket Sales Take a Hit
Despite personal upheaval, Hugh hasn’t slowed down professionally.
He was recently seen arriving at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York, dressed in athletic gear, prepping for his off-Broadway play “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes.”
The show’s limited run ended on June 18, but he’s gearing up for his solo summer performances at Radio City Music Hall.
Still, not everything has gone smoothly—ticket prices for “Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love” have dropped drastically, with fans selling tickets for as low as $20.
Looking Ahead: Closure, Co-Parenting, and New Beginnings
Through it all, Hugh and Deborra-Lee appear to be moving forward respectfully.
Sources say they remain committed to being great parents and are each ready for the next chapter in life.
While the end of their nearly 30-year marriage marks a significant shift, both seem determined to find peace, healing, and purpose in what comes next.
