'Messy' divorce ahead for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' due no to prenup

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, are reportedly facing a "messy" divorce, with new details emerging about the reasons behind the delay in finalizing their separation.

Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, announced the end of their marriage in a shock statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth'.

An insider told DailyMail that Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have not finalized their divorce because they never had a prenup. The couple married with the belief it would last forever, but Jackman's career success has complicated the situation.

Due to the lack of a prenup and his fortune earned during their marriage, the divorce is expected to be "messy" with significant financial stakes, as the couple are set to struggle to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. While both parties aim for an easy resolution, the complexity of their three-decade marriage and Jackman's A-list status makes it difficult.

Legal experts suggest that the high-profile nature of the divorce has added public pressure, potentially influencing the couple's approach to negotiations. The media attention surrounding their separation has led to increased scrutiny of their personal lives, including Jackman's new romance with Music-man co-star Sutton Foster, which may have contributed to the complexities of the divorce proceedings.

As of now, neither Jackman nor Furness have publicly commented on the specifics of the divorce proceedings. The situation remains fluid, and updates are expected as the divorce process continues.
