    Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have finalised their divorce

    The former couple split in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage but Deborra, 69, only filed to officially end their marriage last month, and it has now been signed off by a judge


    According to People magazine, online court records from New York's Suffolk County Supreme Court show that a judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, and later uploaded to the website on Monday (23.06.25), with the case not listed as 'Disposed'.

    When Deborra filed for divorce from the 56-year-old actor, she indicated the terms were uncontested and would only need a sign-off from a judge.

    It was revealed days after the filing that the pair had begun to separate their shared assets.

    According to property records reviewed by People, an LLC tied to Deborra paid $11.7 million to the LLC the couple had used when they acquired a Manhattan penthouse in New York 2022 for a reported $21 million.

    The home is now valued at around $23 million, with the Real Deal first to report the sale.

    Hugh and Deborra's former luxury apartment, located in a landmark starchitect-designed building in Chelsea, spans nearly 5,000 square feet across two floors, with an additional 3,700 square feet of outdoor space.

    Situated near the Hudson River, the area is known for its distinctive architecture and celebrity residents.

    The property is one of several high-value homes acquired by the pair during their nearly three-decade-long relationship.

    Hugh and Deborra reportedly still own residences in New York's West Village, the Hamptons, a waterfront condominium overlooking Bondi Beach in Sydney, as well as other properties in the US, UK and Australia.

    They met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995 and married on 11 April 1996.

    The pair adopted their son, Oscar, now 24, in 2000, and their daughter, Ava, 19, in 2005.

    In September 2023, they confirmed their separation in a joint statement shared with People, saying: "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We have been blessed to share almost three 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."

    In May, Deborra issued a separate statement discussing the emotional impact of the split.

    She said: "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep."

    Deborra added: "However, I believe in a higher power and that God or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.

    "That belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage."

    According to The Daily Mail, a source claimed Hugh was "blindsided" by Deborra's comments and "extremely disappointed", alleging there had been "an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press".
