Hugh Jackman and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, hit a costly roadblock after their split, with a New York apartment now causing fresh strain. A new claim said the former couple expected a clean sale, but the process reportedly turned tense as the property lingered and money stayed tied up.
The pair, who separated in 2023 after marrying in 1996, were said to be clashing over what came next. As per a new source claim, the listing had already forced price cuts and revived old arguments that had seemed settled after the divorce.

As per the National Enquirer, the sale was supposed to be simple. Instead, one insider claimed, “Selling this place was supposed to be straightforward,” but it had turned into “a nightmare.” The same source said there was “so much money on the line,” and the apartment still was not moving. According to the report, they had “already slashed the price.” Even that step reportedly took “a huge amount of back and forth” because the former spouses “couldn’t agree on how much to go down.”
Meanwhile, the same report said the stalled sale had reopened older resentment. The insider claimed there was “a lot of finger-pointing” over who wanted the property in the first place. The source also said both sides were arguing over “who is responsible for the mess.” According to the report, the divorce once looked like a clean break. However, the same insider said that, after they “finalized the divorce,” things had started “to get heated again.” In that note, the apartment became more than a listing. It became another flashpoint between “the Wolverine” actor and Deborra-Lee Furness.
Now, the report said the financial pressure could push the pair into another legal fight. The insider claimed, “This isn’t something they can just ignore.” The source added that there was “too much at stake financially,” especially if they could not agree on the next step. In turn, the same insider warned it could become something they would “have to fight out through lawyers.” The report also called it “a huge mess,” saying every day without a sale meant more losses. For now, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were reportedly stuck between a slow market and a very expensive shared asset.
