Hollywood star Hugh Jackman and his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, have officially finalized their divorce.
On June 24, 2025, multiple media outlets reported on the former couple’s settlement documents, which were originally filed in New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court on May 23, 2025, by Deborra.
Online court records show that a judgment of divorce was filed on June 12 and later uploaded to the court’s official website on June 23. The case status is now listed as “Disposed”.
Furness’ filing indicated that the terms of their divorce were uncontested and mutually agreed upon, including the division of assets and other financial matters.
While the exact details of the settlement remain private, it pertains to the division of their estimated $250 million fortune, accumulated during their marriage.
Although news of their finalized divorce has surfaced, neither the X-Men star nor the Australian actress has publicly addressed it yet.
Deborra-Lee Opens Up About Heartbreak Amid Divorce Proceedings
Shortly after filing for divorce from Jackman, the Shame actress in an exclusive statement to Daily Mail on May 27, 2025, appeared to subtly address the reason behind their split.
Alluding to allegations that Jackman was romantically involved with his Music Man Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, without naming names, she shared,
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. [It] was a profound wound that cuts deep… The breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage… It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom…”
Hugh and Deborra announced their split in September 2023, after over 27 years of marriage. A year later, in October 2024, Sutton filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage, and their divorce is still pending.
The Wolverine star and Foster have been publicly dating each other since January 2025.
In the light of Jackman’s new romance, on June 4, 2025, an anonymous insider revealed that Sutton had been dropping subtle hints of a deeper connection with Jackman for quite some time, despite both being married. The insider told the Daily Mail,
“The fact that Sutton used to go on double dates and tried so hard to befriend Deb is extremely disturbing to her. She will never have anything to do with Sutton. She cannot forgive Foster because she feels she played a role in the breakdown of her marriage”.
