Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman in New York, nearly two years after the couple announced their separation.

The filing, submitted on May 23, comes after the pair reached a comprehensive settlement to divide their estimated $250 million fortune.

According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, all major matters—including alimony, child support arrangements, and spousal support—have been resolved privately. The divorce is uncontested, and only a judge's signature remains for the process to be finalized.

Furness and Jackman, who share two adopted children, Oscar and Ava, were married for 27 years. The couple had no prenuptial agreement, which reportedly delayed the divorce filing. Insiders claim that while there was some negotiation over financial terms, the final agreement satisfied both parties. Furness will receive a substantial spousal support payment.

Sources say Furness believed Jackman was involved in an emotional affair with actress Sutton Foster, his current partner. While there was no confirmed infidelity, the nature of Jackman's relationship with Foster contributed to Furness’s emotional distress. Jackman and Foster were first linked during the pandemic while co-starring in The Music Man. Their relationship became public in January 2025.

In her statement, Furness emphasized healing and personal growth, expressing gratitude for the lessons learned from their nearly three-decade-long marriage.

Jackman is currently performing in the off-Broadway play Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes alongside Ella Beatty. Despite the personal upheaval, both Jackman and Furness have remained amicable and committed to co-parenting.

Their split marks one of the most high-profile Hollywood divorces in recent years due to the lack of a prenup and Jackman's substantial career earnings.
