Hugh Jackman Reportedly Blindsided By Deborra-Lee Furness’ Scathing Post-Divorce Filing Statement

However, her emotionally charged remarks, which hinted at deep betrayal, have left Jackman reportedly blindsided and hurt, especially after what insiders claim was a mutual promise to keep things respectful and private.

In the statement, Furness refrained from naming Jackman but spoke openly about enduring “the traumatic journey of betrayal,” describing it as “a profound wound that cuts deep.”

According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, Jackman felt Furness had broken an unspoken agreement between them.

“Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said,” the insider revealed. “There was no stipulation that she could not address this, but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press. She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt.”

Despite Jackman conceding to all her divorce requests, including financial terms, Furness’s choice to publicly voice her hurt reportedly stung.

“He knows that he cannot change anything, and it is unfortunate that Deb feels the way she did given the fact that he caved in to all of her divorce requests,” the source added.

In a candid statement to the Daily Mail, Furness opened up for the first time about the emotional toll of her divorce, expressing sentiments that surprised many.

“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said. “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.”

She went on to describe how her healing process involved reconnecting with herself and living in alignment with her values.

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

Furness’ words suggested a deeper reason behind her and Jackman’s breakup than initially known to the public, especially as their 2023 separation announcement painted a picture of mutual respect and unity.

Previous reports indicated that Jackman initially hesitated to meet all of Furness’ divorce terms, especially with an estimated $250 million fortune at stake.

Early speculation suggested disagreements over financial settlements were delaying the official filing. However, insiders claimed Jackman ultimately conceded to Furness’ demands, clearing the path for her May 23 filing in a New York court.

“There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement,” a source revealed, “but in the end, she got what she believed she deserved.”

Though the settlement includes a “handsome spousal support payment,” sources insist that there won’t be any additional drama moving forward.

“There is not going to be any drama with this. It gives closure that she needed,” the source said.

Jackman has moved on romantically with Broadway star Sutton Foster, his former co-star, who insiders revealed has recently begun moving her belongings into the actor’s $21 million New York penthouse.

“They’ve known each other for so long that it’s easy to fall into the next stage of their relationship,” a source told US Weekly.

The couple, who publicly debuted their relationship earlier this year with a kiss, are said to be “inseparable.”

While Jackman’s relationship appears to be flourishing, it has allegedly added to Furness’ emotional burden.

“Deb is shattered knowing Sutton is making the penthouse her own—the place she poured her soul into,” a source told New Idea.

Despite the emotional turbulence, Jackman and Furness remain aligned in one key area: their commitment to co-parenting their children, Oscar Maximillian and Ava Eliot.

From the start of their separation in 2023, the former couple made it clear that their family was their top priority.

“They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be,” a source reiterated.
