Hugh Jackman: Divorce shock and the fight for the luxury apartment!

Hugh Jackman (56) and Deborra-Lee Furness (69) announced their separation in 2023 after almost three decades of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 1996, have two adopted children, son Oscar (2000) and daughter Ava (2005). According to reports, Jackman and Furness have reached an agreement on their divorce-related asset division, which includes an impressive total assets of around $387 million.

The shared properties include exclusive penthouses, an estate in the Hamptons and a retreat on Bondi Beach in Australia. However, the focus is on a luxurious, three-story apartment in New York City that was purchased in 2008 for $21 million. This prestige property will reportedly remain in Jackman's possession, seen by many as a sign of his stability during this turbulent time. Stuttgart News reports that their two children will continue to be the focus during the separation.

Public Statements and Emotional Impact

The separation not only affects the couple's assets, but also their public perception. Deborra-Lee Furness said in a statement that her heart and compassion go out to everyone who has endured a similar traumatic journey of betrayal. She described the separation as a “deep wound that hurts greatly.” This suggested that the separation was emotionally stressful for both parties.

In particular, informed sources reported that Hugh Jackman was "very surprised and disappointed" by Furness' public comments. This represents a breach of the unspoken agreement not to publicly disparage one another, as there was no formal agreement to do so. The emotions between the two are therefore perceived not only privately but also in public, which increases the complexity of their situation. Swiss magazine reports that these effects could mean a long process for both sides in order to cope with this unfamiliar living situation.

Amid this breakup, rumors of Hugh Jackman's new relationship have emerged. He was seen holding hands with actress Sutton Foster, 50, in 2025, which caused a stir in the media. The developments surrounding this prominent couple show how complex and multi-layered the topic of separation and new beginnings can be.
