Deborra-Lee Furness Speaks Out After Filing for Divorce from Hugh Jackman
In a bold and heartfelt statement, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness shares her thoughts on the “profound wound” of betrayal after filing for divorce from her husband, Hugh Jackman.
Furness, 69, expresses her compassion for those who have experienced similar traumatic journeys, emphasizing her belief in a higher power that is always working in their favor.
The couple officially filed for divorce in New York on 23 May, following their separation announcement in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
Best known for his role as Wolverine in the X-men film series, Jackman has not directly responded to Furness’s statement.
Reflecting on the lessons learned from the breakdown of her marriage, Furness shares that the challenging circumstances have led her to gain valuable knowledge and wisdom.
“Sometimes the universe creates difficult paths for us to navigate, guiding us back to our true essence and the importance of self-love,” Furness states.
She emphasizes the liberation and freedom found in returning to oneself, living by personal integrity, values, and boundaries.
Following their separation announcement, the couple issued a joint statement expressing their intentions to pursue individual growth and embark on a new chapter with gratitude and kindness.
Furness and Jackman initially met on the set of the Australian TV show Corelli in 1995, shortly after Jackman’s graduation from drama school. The couple married the following year and later adopted two children.
As Furness shares her profound reflections, Jackman, currently performing in New York, posted a lighthearted Instagram video of himself skipping to the NSYNC song “Bye Bye Bye.” – BBC
