Deborra-Lee Furness, the estranged wife of Aussie Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman, has released a moving and intimate statement, finally breaking her silence just days after she filed for divorce in a move to end their increasingly bitter multimillion-dollar divorce battle, emotionally opening up about her feelings in what she describes as a traumatic and challenging journey of deception.
Once regarded as a glowing beacon of lasting love in Hollywood, the pair concluded their relationship in 2023 after almost 30 years of marriage. But it wasn't until May 23, 2025, that Furness actually filed for divorce. In the wake of the devastating news, her side of the story has remained quiet until now, with her sharing a statement on May 27 that is nothing if not the sound of heartbreak.
"My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," Furness said. "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." While she didn't outright mention Jackman by name, her word "betrayal" is used as a breadcrumb to identify what possibly led to the end of their lengthy union.
Nonetheless, her tone stayed spiritual and reflective, a touch of the healing rather than the damning. Furness, 69, stressed that growth comes from pain. She credited her belief in divine guidance as her lifeline through a painful but ultimately transforming transition. "Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose," she said.

Her words highlight an adventure not just of heartbreak but also of self-exploration. "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 said, a feeling that will be familiar to anyone who has experienced the emotional rap of betrayal in romance, friendship, or work relationships.
Furness also dipped into the idea that relationships, even those that hurt or bring joy, come to us for a reason. "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," she said. The end of her marriage is a significant chapter closing, but it also represents the start of a new era built on purpose, healing, and personal authenticity.
The osculant and brave disclosure already receives support and sympathy from fans and celebrities. As speculation swirls about the underlying reasons for the parting, the takeaway from Furness's words remains that behind the glitz and glamour of celebrity, the hurt of betrayal and the road to recovery are deeply human experiences.
Deborra-Lee Furness opts for grace, wisdom, and self-reflection as she manages the tumult of this very public divorce. She runs in the opposite direction of scandal or sensationalism. She provides a powerful story for all who want to navigate the treacherous terrain of letting go with grace and a strong sense of self. Her message of faith, self-redemption, and quiet resilience is more than a narrow window into her life, and it's a universal invitation to healing, even amid heartbreak.
