Hugh Jackman Reportedly Isn’t Over His Breakup With Deborra-Lee Furness After 27 Years of Marriage

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have confirmed their relationship which may or may not have started during their Broadway run of The Music Man. Still, their romance came at a cost — the talented duo was both married to other people. Now, sources share that Jackman might regret his split with Deborra-Lee Furness after 27 years of marriage. 

The former couple split in September 2023 but have not filed for divorce yet since they have to navigate their $150 million fortune without a prenuptial agreement. It’s not just their finances that Jackman is dealing with, though, he reportedly misses his ex-wife too. 

“Breaking up with Deborra-Lee was one of the hardest conversations Hugh’s ever had,” a source divulged to Closer Weekly. “Hugh misses her dearly. He misses their conversations, her smile, her playfulness, her sense of humor, the supportive way she always treated him, and her positive outlook on life.” The 56-year-old actor and Furness are “trying to be amicable,” but there’s a lot of “hurt” between them. 

Before fans knew of the Wolverine star’s alleged affair with the 49-year-old Younger star, Furness talked about embracing change in her life. She broke her silence about the split in January 2024 at the premiere of her film, Force of Nature: The Dry 2. It is kind of exciting,” she told the Daily Telegraph. “You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift.”

Jackman hasn’t publicly shared any thoughts about his split from Furness. For now, he’s letting the statement they shared in September 2023 do all the talking. “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,” the statement to People read.

“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. This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
