Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness has expressed her sympathy for everyone who has experienced the pain of betrayal, following her decision to file for divorce from her husband, Hugh Jackman. In her statement to the media, Furness, who is 69 years old, emphasized that this deep emotional wound can lead to growth and healing, driven by her belief in a higher power guiding events for the good.
The divorce filing took place in New York on May 23rd, marking the end of 27 years of marriage between the couple, who first announced their separation in September 2023. Known for his role as Wolverine in the X-men film series, Jackman, 56 years old, has not made any direct comments on Furness’s statement.
Furness highlighted the educational value of her relationship’s breakdown, stating that challenges can push us towards self-discovery and a profound understanding of ourselves. She emphasized how moving through difficult circumstances towards personal integrity and self-love can lead to a greater sense of freedom.
When the couple announced their separation in 2023, they released a joint statement declaring it as their final comment on the matter, expressing gratitude, love, and kindness as they embarked on their individual growth journeys. The pair, who met on the set of the TV show Corelli in 1995 and married the following year, also adopted two children.
After Furness’s statement, Jackman, who is currently performing in New York, posted a video on Instagram, energetically skipping to the song “Bye Bye Bye” by NYSNC, offering a light-hearted response to the current situation.
