Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness‘ divorce is official.
Almost two years after the former couple announced the end of their marriage in September 2023, 69-year-old Furness has officially filed for divorce in New York, the Daily Mail reports.
While Furness was the one to file, it seems as though their split is still “amicable”.

According to the publication, after a lengthy deliberation over the division of their assists, the terms of the filing include a continuation of health care coverage, proposed medical child support order, a New York state case registry form, a proposed judgment of divorce, and the certificate of dissolution.
There are no details about a settlement, with a judge’s sign off the final step to completing the matter as the terms of the divorce are uncontested.

The former couple announced their marriage was over in a statement released with People 20 months ago.
“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,” read the statement.
“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.”
The statement was signed off from “Deb and Hugh Jackman” with the pair adding that this was the only thing either of them were going to say about the end of their marriage.

Jackman and Furness first met back and had an “instant connection” on the set of Aussie drama Corelli in 1995. They then tied the knot 11 months later in April 1996.
They were married for 27 years and in that time welcomed two children together Oscar, 25 and Ava, 19.
In an extract from the 2019 book The Father Hood: Inspiration for the new dad generation, Jackman shared the agreement they made to protect their marriage.
“Before we had kids, Deb and I made a pretty simple but powerful choice to look each other in the eye at every crossroads in life. Those crossroads are sometimes big, sometimes they’re small, sometimes you don’t even realise they’re crossroads until you look back,” he shared.
“But at those moments, we said we’d ask each other, ‘Is this good or bad for our marriage?’ Or, now that we’ve got kids, ‘Is this good or bad for our family?’ And as often as possible, we do the thing that is good for our family.”
