Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken out about her experience of “betrayal” following her decision to file for divorce from husband Hugh Jackman. The couple, who have been married for 27 years, announced their separation in September 2023.
In a statement released to media, Furness expressed her condolences to those who may be experiencing similar heartache, saying that the experience has taught her valuable lessons about self-love and growth. She believes that sometimes, difficult circumstances can help us find our way back to ourselves.
Furness’s comments come after she filed for divorce in New York in May, citing 27 years of marriage as the reason for their separation. Jackman, known for his role as Wolverine in the X-men film series, has yet to respond directly to Furness’s statement.
The couple met on the set of an Australian TV show in 1995 and later adopted two children together. Their decision to separate is seen as a chance for them to focus on individual growth and pursue their own interests.
