Deborra-Lee Furness Officially Files for Divorce from Hugh Jackman After 27 Years—No Fireworks, Just Finality

The curtain has officially closed on the decades-long love story of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. Nearly two years after they announced their separation, Deborra-Lee has formally filed for divorce in New York, drawing the final chapter of their 27-year marriage to a quiet and composed conclusion.

Filed on May 23, the divorce documents reveal that all the big-ticket items—spousal support, expenses for their children, and plans for the future—have already been settled behind closed doors. So, there’s no courtroom circus here, just two adults wrapping things up with dignity.

Word from those in the know is that Deborra-Lee is content with the financial terms of the settlement, which includes a generous spousal support agreement. Despite some reported back-and-forth over finances (understandable when you’re working without a prenup and a $250 million fortune is in play), both parties are walking away stable and respectful of one another.

They remain united in their commitment to co-parenting their two adopted children, with sources describing the duo as amicable and focused on their roles as parents rather than exes.

Back in January, whispers suggested the divorce might get messy, mainly because they tied the knot without a prenuptial agreement. At the time, no one expected Hugh’s Hollywood career to skyrocket to such stratospheric fame.

Now, as Hugh is seen out and about with Broadway star Sutton Foster, Deborra-Lee is making headlines of her own—not for scandal, but for grace. In a heartfelt message, the 68-year-old actress shared a perspective that was equal parts spiritual and grounded.

“My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has faced the trauma of betrayal,” she said. “I believe in a higher power and that even our hardships lead us to where we’re meant to be.”

She described the divorce as a bittersweet mix of heartache and freedom, emphasizing personal growth over resentment. “Returning to yourself and honoring your own values and boundaries is the ultimate freedom,” she noted.

In a parting sentiment that echoed maturity and mindfulness, she added, “This isn’t personal. We cross paths with people to learn, to heal, and to evolve. And for that, I remain grateful.”

The paperwork is now just waiting for the final nod from the judge, but as far as this Hollywood ending goes—it’s all class, no clash.
