Deborra-Lee Furness: Finding Joy and Support After Split from Hugh Jackman

Deborra-Lee Furness Spotted with Close Friend Nicholas Evans, But is She Ready to Move On for Good?

The drama surrounding Deborra-Lee Furness and her ex-husband Hugh Jackman's divorce has been heating up in recent months, but it seems the 69-year-old actress is finally starting to put the past behind her. Sources close to Deborra-Lee claim that she's not only moving on from her split from the Wolverine actor but is also ready to dive back into the dating scene.

The mother-of-two was recently spotted enjoying a fun-filled day out with her close friend and colleague Nicholas Evans, 45, who co-founded the Hopeland charity with Deborra-Lee. The two were seen laughing and chatting as they walked down the street, with Nicholas even going so far as to tenderly wrap his arm around Deborra-Lee's waist.

Deborra-Lee looked absolutely radiant in her bright, summery outfit, which consisted of a pink patterned T-shirt, matching pants, and white platform Converse sneakers. It's clear that the actress is not only healing from the trauma of her divorce but also embracing her newfound freedom.

But what exactly prompted Deborra-Lee to turn to Nicholas for support? According to insiders, it was the realization that she needed a strong network of friends around her to help her navigate this new chapter in her life. "Deb is finally starting to heal and talk about what she wants in her life going forward," a source told The Scholarly Note. "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."

And it seems like Deborra-Lee is not just relying on Nicholas for emotional support – she's also looking to expand her social circle in a major way. Sources claim that she's received offers from several "incredible guys" who are interested in getting to know her better, but she's holding back until she finds someone who truly meets her high standards.

But what about the rumors surrounding Deborra-Lee and Hugh's divorce? The two were married for an impressive 27 years before finally calling it quits in June of this year. While there have been whispers of a possible affair between Hugh and his former co-star Sutton Foster, sources close to the couple insist that any romantic feelings between them began after their marriage had officially ended.

In fact, insiders claim that Hugh and Deborra-Lee's divorce was not as amicable as some might think. According to reports, Hugh has been feeling guilty about the way things ended with his ex-wife – so much so that he's even been seeking counseling to deal with his own emotions. "Hugh feels he betrayed Deb," a source revealed. "He didn't physically cheat on her, but he believes they were having an emotional affair."

As for Deborra-Lee, it seems like she's not interested in rehashing the past. Instead, she's focusing on building a new future – one that includes plenty of love, laughter, and adventure. And with Nicholas Evans by her side, we have no doubt that she'll be just fine.

But will Deborra-Lee finally find the perfect match to help her heal from the trauma of her divorce? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – this talented actress is ready to take on whatever life throws her way.
