Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness is free to speak up now, claims ‘source’
Hugh Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness parted ways after almost three decades of marriage. The couple reportedly filed for divorce on May 23 in New York after announcing their separation in September 2023. At the time, the couple said it would be “the sole statement either of us will make.” However, things took a drastic turn when the 69-year-old Australian actor filed for divorce in May 2025, speaking about the “betrayal” she felt during their marriage.
As per a source, Jackman is now “seriously anxious about what she might disclose” to the world in the form of a memoir or tell-all TV chat. “Deborra has remained silent and handled things privately, largely out of respect for the children and to preserve her own dignity and peace of mind,” the insider told RadarOnline. “But now that everything is finalized, she’s free to speak up if she chooses.”
“The Greatest Showman” actor’s fear seems genuine since Furness knows all about his “modest start and journey to stardom, to his dreams and vulnerabilities.” The insider further revealed that Furness is “seriously considering sharing what their marriage with Hugh was really like” with the public. The actor “had big-time offers from publishers, publicists and TV producers to give her side of the story.”
Furness is reportedly considering telling all about Jackman’s secrets after feeling betrayed by her ex-husband’s budding new romance with Sutton Foster. Hearing the “relatively gentle statement Debs made once the divorce was finalized,” Jackman is “already stressed.” As per the insider, the actor “didn’t see it coming.” Moreover, he has “been telling everyone they know how ‘betrayed’ he feels.”
