Hugh Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness finalized their divorce in June 2025.

Furness had officially filed for divorce on May 27. This comes almost 2 years after the couple announced their separation in September 2023. They got married in 1996 and share two children, Ava and Oscar.

Months after the former couple called it quits, Hugh Jackman and his current partner, actress Sutton Foster, made their official red carpet debut together at the AFI Fest premiere of his new movie Song Sung Blue. This marks the couple's first appearance together since they seemingly confirmed their relationship in January.

At the time of her filing for divorce, Furness released the following statement,

“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.”

She went on to add,

"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."

As for the X-Men star's new relationship, sources claim his relationship with Sutton Foster is continuing to strengthen over time. A source shared with People Magazine in August that they had spent some time working to build a "good foundation” with one another and they have been equally supportive of each other’s latest career developments.

While the couple hasn’t made many public appearances, Hugh Jackman was spotted supporting Foster’s special One Night Only performance at the Tanglewood Music Center. Interestingly, Sutton Foster is a two-time Tony winner and shares Jackman’s love and passion for the stage.
