Celebrity Divorce Court: Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness Splitting Up After 27 Years

It’s been a busy time for Hollywood divorce lawyers.

New to the game are Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness. They’ve been married 27 years. She’s 13 years his senior. I don’t think people are that surprised but still, it’s sad when any long relationship ends.

The couple — who have two kids, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18 — told People magazine:

“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. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

Jackman has made a fortune with his X Men and Wolverine movies, as well as “The Greatest Showman on Earth.” When the strikes are over he’ll be featured in the next Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynolds. Furness will leave with a nice chunk of change.
