HUGH DUNNIT?

Hugh Jackman’s Ex Talks ‘Betrayal’ After Filing for Divorce

Deborra-Lee Furness talked of “a profound wound that cuts deep” after filing for divorce from the A-list actor.

Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken of “betrayal” as her divorce from Hugh Jackman takes an unexpected turn. Furness announced her plan to officially file for divorce on Tuesday afternoon. Now in a statement to the Daily Mail, the Australian actress, 69, has given an insight into her state of mind two years after the pair announced their split. “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” Furness said. “It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe... is always working FOR us.” Furness continued “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.” She said the experience had provided her with knowledge and wisdom. “Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.” Furness noted she believed “none of this is personal” and that “the relationships in our lives are not random.” She signed off saying “We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves...I remain grateful.”
