Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were once considered one of the most enduring couples in Hollywood. Married in 1996, theirs was a love story that began long before Jackman's rise to international stardom. Over 27 years of marriage, they raised two adopted children and frequently appeared in public united, gracious, and deeply supportive of each other’s careers. Their partnership was often described as grounded and refreshingly low-profile, a rarity in the high-pressure world of show business.
However, in September 2023, the couple publicly announced their separation, a move that came as a shock to fans and media alike. The decision to end their marriage formally followed in 2025 when Deborra-Lee filed for divorce in a New York court. While the filing itself was amicable and largely free of public scandal, the questions that followed centered not on the logistics—but on why.
According to sources close to the couple, the most significant factor in their separation was the natural drift that can occur in long-term marriages. After nearly three decades together, Jackman and Furness reportedly found themselves growing in different directions, both personally and professionally. With their children reaching adulthood and both partners pursuing individual projects, the shared purpose that once defined their bond began to diminish.
Observers suggest that the couple’s once aligned goals had started to diverge. Jackman’s career, still at full throttle with major international projects and live stage performances, may have introduced a new level of intensity and travel. Meanwhile, Furness, an accomplished advocate and producer in her own right, had increasingly focused on causes close to her heart, including adoption and women's rights. This divergence reportedly created emotional space that neither could bridge over time.
Following the announcement of his separation, Jackman began appearing publicly with Broadway star Sutton Foster, his co-star from The Music Man. Although the timing was delicate, their closeness had sparked speculation even before either party confirmed the nature of their relationship. Reports indicate that Jackman and Foster formed a strong bond during their stage run, and that connection deepened as both emerged from long-term relationships.
While no evidence has suggested an affair or misconduct, the emotional connection Jackman built with Foster may have highlighted the emotional disconnect in his marriage to Furness. The progression of this new relationship may not have caused the divorce, but it possibly clarified for Jackman that he was ready for a new chapter—one that reflected the man he had become rather than the one he was in 1996.
Despite public interest, both Jackman and Furness have handled the divorce with restraint and dignity. Official court filings show agreement on financial responsibilities and personal care provisions, including support for their adult children. Their joint statement emphasized ongoing mutual respect and a continued commitment to co-parenting.
The split has not been marred by scandal or public bitterness, which reflects the civility that defined their partnership. Friends close to the couple have stated that the divorce was a decision made “with love” and a shared understanding that change, while painful, was necessary.
Professionally, Jackman shows no signs of slowing down. He is preparing for a 12-show residency titled From New York, With Love at Radio City Music Hall in 2025 and will headline BST Hyde Park in London in July. These events mark a significant return to his roots in musical theater and live performance.
As for his personal life, Jackman appears to be stepping into a new phase marked by personal reflection and reinvention. His connection with Sutton Foster, though still developing, points to a desire for companionship that aligns with his current identity and lifestyle. While he remains private about this chapter, it’s clear that Jackman is focused on moving forward with clarity and purpose.
