Almost two years since they announced that they were to separate, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are going ahead and finalizing their divorce. Furness has formally applied for dissolution in New York, and all that is left is a judge’s signature to finalize the procedure.
A much-loved Couple with an extended History
Jackman and Furness met in 1995 and got married in 1996. Notwithstanding a 13-year age difference, they soon emerged as one of Hollywood’s most loved couples. Together, they had two adopted children, son Oscar and daughter Ava, and shared almost 30 years of marriage.
Public Split in 2023
The couple shocked fans in September 2023 when they announced their break-up. In a shared statement, they stated, “We have been blessed to share near 3 decades together… Our path now is changing, and we have chosen to break up to pursue our unique development.”
Settlement Finalized
The divorce filings, as reported by the Daily Mail, entail healthcare coverage agreements, a medical child support order, and a certificate of dissolution. The source indicated that the financial aspect, including settlement, alimony, and children’s costs, were well negotiated, with Furness eventually getting what she “deserved” after weeks of negotiations.
Furness Speaks Out on Betrayal
In her initial public comments following the filing, Furness seemed to invoke betrayal. “My heart and compassion extend to anyone who has walked through the traumatic process of betrayal,” she wrote. Referring to the breakup as “a deep wound,” she underscored her belief in a higher power guiding her through the hurt.
