The Split: What Happened to Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee’s 27-Year Marriage?

Hugh Jackman, 56, and Deborra-Lee Furness, 69, surprised their fans when they announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage. But the truth is, their friends and family had known about it for a while. Rumors suggested their marriage started to face issues before Hugh’s return to Broadway in February 2022. An insider noted that Deborra-Lee wasn't frequent at rehearsals and was even caught napping during some. Despite the split, the couple remains close, talking regularly and commitment to co-parenting their two adopted children, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18. They shared a joint statement emphasizing their journey together and the importance of their family.

Right before the announcement, Hugh posted a loving tribute to Deborra-Lee on Instagram for their 27th wedding anniversary. “Together we have created a beautiful family. And life, ” he wrote. It's a stark contrast to the news of their separation. Shortly after, Hugh was spotted with actress Sutton Foster, who went through a recent separation herself.
