Deborra-Lee Furness Speaks Out After Divorce from Hugh Jackman: "None of This Is Personal"

In a candid statement, Deborra-Lee Furness, the ex-wife of actor Hugh Jackman, has broken her silence following their finalized divorce. The Australian actress, 69, opened up to the Daily Mail about navigating the "traumatic journey of betrayal" after their separation in 2023, following 27 years of marriage.

Furness, who wed Jackman, 56, in 1996, described their split as a "profound wound." However, she emphasized her belief in a higher power, stating that this faith has helped her through the difficult process. She shared that the experience has led to "much knowledge and wisdom," and that even in adversity, it's leading us to our "greatest good."

Furness's reflections focused on personal growth and self-discovery. She highlighted the importance of "returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries," calling it "liberation and freedom." She also shared a key takeaway: "None of this is personal." She believes that relationships are not random and that people are drawn to each other to learn lessons and heal.

The article also mentions Jackman's recent outings with his former "Music Man" co-star, Sutton Foster, who also recently finalized her divorce. While the article doesn't explicitly state the reason for the divorce, it does provide context to the situation. The couple share two children, Oscar and Ava. Their divorce was uncontested, and only needed a judge's sign-off.

Furness concluded her statement with gratitude, reflecting on the lessons learned and the journey ahead. This marks the first time Furness has publicly addressed the divorce, offering a glimpse into her perspective on the end of her long-term marriage.
