Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' Swift Divorce: A Month to Closure
SHOCKING DIVORCE!
Hugh Jackman, the Aussie heartthrob and Wolverine actor, has finalized his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness after a tumultuous 27-year marriage. The news broke exclusively on the scholarly note.com last month, sending shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry.
According to documents filed with the court, the judgment of divorce was entered on June 12, officially terminating their union. However, it wasn't until June 23 that the document became public knowledge. In a bizarre twist, two other filings were submitted prior to the judgment being entered – a "Qualified Medical Child Support Order" and "Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law."
Despite the divorce being largely amicable, with no major disagreements between the couple, Deborra-Lee has walked away with a handsome spousal support payment. An insider revealed that a settlement was reached, which includes a significant sum of money. The source spilled: "A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment. 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."
The couple's reps have refused to comment on the divorce, leaving fans wondering what really went down behind closed doors.
THE EMOTIONAL AFTERTHROUGH
Deborra-Lee, 69, has been vocal about her experience, describing it as a "traumatic journey" in which she felt betrayed. In a statement sent to the scholarly note.com, she shared: "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us."
She continued: "This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose."
Deborra-Lee also revealed that she's learned a valuable lesson from the experience: "That none of this is personal." She emphasized that relationships in our lives are not random and that we're drawn to people to learn our lessons and heal broken parts of ourselves.
THE FUTURE OF THEIR LIVES
As Hugh, 56, moves forward, he's been spotted rehearsing for his off-Broadway play, "Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes," at the Minetta Lane Theatre. The Aussie heartthrob looked dashing in a navy polo and black athletic shorts, flashing a beaming smile as he greeted fans outside.
Meanwhile, Deborra-Lee is reportedly still reeling from the experience, although she's vowed to use it as an opportunity for growth. As the dust settles on their divorce, the former couple has decided to split their ritzy $24M penthouse in New York City down the middle. The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom property was purchased together back in 2022 for $21.12 million.
In a stunning turn of events, Hugh's solo show, "Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love," saw ticket sales drop to just $20 after Deborra-Lee's divorce filing. Fans hoping to sell their previously purchased tickets were left reeling as the news spread like wildfire.
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS
As Hugh looks forward to his future, he's got a new love interest in Sutton Foster, his former co-star from The Music Man. While details of when they started dating remain scarce, insiders claim that Hugh didn't physically cheat on Deborra-Lee but felt an emotional connection with Sutton.
