The Hollywood couple known as the representative lovebirds, actors Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, have ultimately faced a separation. Following the news of their divorce, Jackman is further implicated in infidelity rumors, adding to the shock.
Furness recently formalized the divorce through an American media outlet, confessing, “the pain of betrayal has deeply etched a trauma.” This remark is interpreted as aimed at Jack’s recent close relationship with musical theater actress Sutton Foster, sparking controversy.
The couple announced their separation in September 2023, and on the 23rd, they submitted official divorce papers to a U.S. court, bringing an end to their 27-year marriage. Furness’s side hinted at “Jackman’s infidelity” as the reason for divorce, and reports followed that Jackman is living with Foster in a luxury penthouse in New York.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are known to have formed a connection through the Broadway musical “The Music Man” and have often been spotted together outside of performances, fueling romance rumors. Furness’s side has indicated that this relationship had a decisive impact on her decision to divorce.
Gus Worland, a broadcaster known to be a close friend of Jackman, said in a radio interview that “Jackman is doing well after the divorce and hopes Furness moves forward.” However, Furness left a meaningful statement, saying, “As a public figure and family, there are lines that must be upheld.”
Meanwhile, it is reported that Furness has partitioned a significant portion of Jackman’s wealth, which amounts to about $250 million (approximately 325 billion won). Jackman and Furness, who married in 1996 and adopted two children, were known as Hollywood’s representative lovebirds, making this situation quite shocking to fans.
