Hugh Jackman’s Ex Secretly Had a Falling Out With Blake Lively

The Australian actress has been keeping a low profile since the “Wolverine” star was spotted out with a new flame.

Deborra-lee Furness, Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, secretly had a falling-out with the actor’s good friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, according to the Australian outlet Woman’s Day. Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, ended their marriage in 2023 after nearly three decades together. Last week, the Wolverine star was spotted in Los Angeles hand-in-hand with Broadway star Sutton Foster. Furness believes her ex’s good pals Lively and Reynolds knew about the relationship but didn’t tell her, Woman’s Day reported, citing a source close to Furness. “She knew they would side with Hugh when they split, but what has disturbed Deb is the very real possibility that Ryan and Blake must have known about Sutton,” the source said. “Truth be told, it was always difficult for Deb to bond with Blake because they’re so different, but she felt they got on just fine.” The insider added that Furness has been keeping a low profile since the split and is focused on having a glow-up. “Watching this legal nightmare unfold around Blake’s latest film, and how Ryan and Hugh had to skip the Globes because of it, must feel just a bit karmic,” the source said.
