Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have officially finalized their divorce, bringing an end to their nearly 27-year-long marriage.
The news was confirmed through online court records from New York’s Suffolk County Supreme Court, which show that a judgment of divorce was filed on June 12 and later uploaded on Monday, June 23. The case is now marked as “Disposed,” confirming that the separation is now legally complete.
Furness, 69, filed for divorce from the Wolverine actor, 56, on May 27, just two years after the couple first revealed they were amicably separating in September 2023. The filing was uncontested, meaning both parties had already agreed on the terms and were simply awaiting judicial approval.
While Jackman has remained relatively quiet since the filing, Furness opened up emotionally about the breakup in a statement. She expressed how deeply personal and painful the process has been, referring to the divorce as a “traumatic journey of betrayal.” Despite the emotional toll, Furness leaned into a spiritual perspective, saying she believes the universe or a higher power is guiding her toward something greater. She explained that although endings can hurt, they also offer a return to integrity, boundaries, and freedom.
The couple, who married in 1996, share two adult children – daughter Ava and son Oscar. They released a joint statement at the time of their separation in September 2023, saying, “Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.” They also made it clear that the announcement would be “the sole statement either of us will make” regarding the end of their marriage.
Their bond had long been considered one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories. The pair met on the set of the Australian TV show Correlli and tied the knot soon after. Over the years, they were often seen supporting each other publicly at movie premieres, red carpet events, and charity functions. But despite the picture-perfect public image, their marriage quietly unraveled behind the scenes.
With the divorce now finalized, it marks the end of an era not just for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness, but also for fans who saw them as one of the most grounded couples in showbiz. As they move forward separately, both Jackman and Furness have reiterated the importance of privacy and respect during this transitional period for their family.
The finalized split closes a personal chapter in the lives of two people who once shared nearly three decades of love, support, and parenting. While the details remain mostly private, it’s clear that both are committed to handling their separation with grace and dignity.
