Deborra-Lee Furness Breaks Silence on Hugh Jackman Divorce With Lengthy Statement on “Betrayal”

Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness officially filed for divorce almost two years after their split, and also broke her silence in a very lengthy statement.

“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” Deb told the Daily Mail. “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. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

Deborra-Lee noted that the “one thing” she’s learned throughout her experience is that “that none of this is personal” and that “we are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful.”

As a reminder, Hugh and Deborra-Lee split back in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. They released a statement to People at the time, saying “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. 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.”
