Two years later, Hugh Jackman‘s ex Deborra-Lee Furness has finally filed for divorce!
As Perezcious readers know, back in September 2023, the longtime couple announced they were going their separate ways, but they insisted it was an amicable parting they both agreed with. Well, time would soon reveal that wasn’t exactly the case as Deborra-Lee seemed to confirm rumors the actor cheated on her with his new girlfriend Sutton Foster! Messy AF! But miraculously, this divorce — the legal proceedings, that is — has remained anything but messy!

Not only did the actress file for divorce, but it appears she and Hugh already came to a settlement they both agree with! It’s almost totally wrapped up at this point. Whoa!
Per DailyMail.com on Tuesday, she submitted the paperwork on Friday in New York. People added that the 69-year-old’s lawyer, Elena Karabatos, submitted filings for their settlement, health care coverage, and medical child support (they share two adopted children, Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19). Those filings show that the terms have gone uncontested. The only thing they need now is for a judge to sign off on the split agreement. So drama-free!
And yet it definitely sounds like Hugh’s getting his karma! Per a DM insider, Deb received a “handsome spousal support payment” (after reportedly having no prenup) and there is expected to be no future “drama” as the marriage concludes. They explained:
“A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment. … There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure. There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.”
A second insider doubled down:
“They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children. They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.”
Hugh is now “looking forward to the future and not looking back.” Meanwhile, his ex-wife told the outlet:
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.”
OOF! The Australian performer furthered:
“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. 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.”
She finished her fiery statement by sharing that through this process she learned “that none of this is personal,” expressing:
“We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 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.”
Whoa! Powerful!
They have clearly committed to putting their children first through this whole process. It’s impressive she’s still not completely bashing her ex! Thoughts?! Are you surprised it took this long for her to file? Sound OFF (below)!
