Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce, The Post has confirmed.
The Australian actress, 69, and Hugh Jackman, 56, were married for 27 years before the two announced they were divorcing in 2023. Furness has now filed to dissolve her marriage in New York, as first reported by the Daily Mail.
Furness’ lawyer, Elena Karabatos, also submitted filings related to their settlement, including health care coverage, a medical child support order, and a certificate of dissolution.
All that’s left is for the judge to sign off on the judgment.
Furness and Jackman, who tied the knot in 1996, share kids Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19. According to an insider, “a settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment.”
The source told Daily Mail that “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.”
They added, “There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.”
A second insider shared that the divorce is “non contested,” which means neither party had an issue with the outcome.
“They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children.”
The source added, “They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.”
The Post reached out to Jackman’s rep for comment.
In March, Daily Mail reported that the former flames had not filed for divorce yet due to issues dividing their estimated $250 million fortune.
“Hugh and Deborra-Lee have not yet filed for divorce because they are struggling to reach an agreement on how to divide their assets,” a source claimed. “Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer.”
Some of which might have to do with Jackman’s romance with his former “The Music Man” co-star Sutton Foster.
“While he didn’t physically cheat on her with Sutton,” the insider quipped, “Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her.”
Last year, rumors swirled that Jackman had possibly stepped out on his marriage with the “Younger” alum, 50.
After news of their romance began swirling, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 10 years, Ted Griffin. The exes share daughter, Emily, 7.
In November, Furness allegedly “liked” a post from her private Instagram account of gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claiming that the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star had “blindsided” her by sharing his relationship with Foster.
The producer’s pal, British media personality Amanda de Cadenet, also weighed in, writing in the comments section, “You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!”
Sources claimed to US Weekly that Jackman and Foster did have “an affair.”
“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced,” an insider close to Foster said. “A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
The source also noted that Foster and Jackman “are really happy now.”
In January, the pair stepped out holding hands for a date night in Santa Monica, Calif, confirming what sources told Page Six months before.
“They are 100% together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” an insider revealed. “They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”
