Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman, almost two years after first announcing their split. The actress filed the paperwork in New York, with her lawyer, Elena Karabatos, additionally submitting paperwork related to their settlement, health care coverage, and medical child support, according to People magazine. The outlet adds that the conditions set in the pair’s divorce are “uncontested,” meaning that they only require a sign-off from a judge. The Daily Mail was the first to report the news. Jackman and Furness initially wed in 1996 and share two children: son Oscar and daughter Ava. They announced their separation in Sept. 2023 telling People in a statement at the time: “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.” Jackman has notably been romantically linked to Broadway icon Sutton Foster over the past few months.
