Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness Officially Finalize Their Divorce

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have officially finalized their divorce.

Online court records from New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court show that a judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, and later uploaded to the website on Monday, June 23. The case status is now listed as “Disposed.”

Furness, 69, filed for divorce from Jackman, 56, on May 27, roughly two years after the pair initially announced they had amicably ended their marriage in September 2023.

Her divorce filing indicated the terms of their divorce were uncontested and would only need a sign-off from a judge.

“It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us,” Furness said.

She continued, “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.”

“It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,” Furness added in her statement.

Jackman and Furness — who share two adult children, daughter Ava and son Oscar — married in 1996 and announced their separation in 2023 after 27 years of marriage.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives,” read their joint statement, which they described at the time as “the sole statement either of us will make” about their separation.

Furness’ divorce filing and statement came about four months after Jackman and Sutton Foster, who costarred on Broadway in The Music Man in 2022, went public with their romance in January. Foster previously filed for divorce from her ex Ted Griffin in October 2024, after 10 years of marriage.

Furness most recently stepped out in N.Y.C. on May 20 at Parsons School of Design’s 2025 Parsons Benefit, just days after Jackman and Foster, 50, were seen holding hands as they went for a stroll together in the city.
