“Hollywood’s Golden Couple” Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Officially Divorce After 27 Years: Is an Affair the Cause?

In a stunning turn of events, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have officially filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage, ending what many viewed as one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories.

According to reports from BBC and other local outlets, the couple submitted divorce papers on May 24 by mutual agreement and are now awaiting final court approval to make the split official.

The breakup, which first made headlines when the couple announced their separation in September 2023, has once again sparked speculation, this time due to rumors of infidelity. In a previously published interview, Furness appeared to hint at possible unfaithfulness, leading some to suspect that an affair may have been the cause of the split.

Adding fuel to the fire, multiple sources have pointed to Sutton Foster, Jackman’s co-star in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man, as the woman involved. The two reportedly became close during the production and are now rumored to be living together in a New York penthouse.

Jackman and Furness first met in 1995 while filming the Australian TV series Correlli and tied the knot in 1996. Over the decades, they became known not just for their long-lasting marriage but also for their devotion to family and mutual respect. They share two adopted children and frequently appeared in public praising each other’s accomplishments and support.

Now, nearly 28 years later, the fairytale has come to an end, shattering the image of one of the most beloved celebrity unions and leaving fans wondering about the real reasons behind the split.
