Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have finalized their divorce a month after filing, Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
A judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, making it official. The document, however, wasn’t made public until June 23.
Prior to the judgment being entered, two other documents were filed on June 10 – a ‘Qualified Medical Child Support Order’, regarding children’s insurance, and ‘Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law.’
The divorce was essentially disposed of two weeks ago, but the judge needed to sign off on the judgment after a proposed judgment was entered.
Daily Mail has reached out to Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s reps for comment.
Deborra-Lee, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a ‘handsome spousal support payment,’ according to an insider, who previously spoke to Daily Mail.
‘A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,’ they revealed.
‘There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.
‘There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.’
Last month, Daily Mail exclusively broke the news of Hugh, 56, and Deborra-Lee, 69, filing for divorce to officially terminate their 27-year marriage.
The film producer filed the complaint in New York on May 23 and, per the filings, everything has been ironed out behind the scenes.
Other filings submitted by her lawyer include a notice concerning continuation of health care coverage, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form (used to report child support orders to the state’s registry), the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and certificate of dissolution.
All that needed to be done was for the judge to sign off on the judgment.
The divorce is ‘non contested,’ meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing.
‘They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,’ another source told Daily Mail.
‘They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.’
They added that Jackman is ‘looking forward to the future and not looking back.’
Shortly after news broke of the exes’ divorce filing, Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement using the word ‘betrayal’ when speaking about her ‘traumatic journey.’
Hugh has been dating his former The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster for months, although the timeline of when they began dating has never been confirmed.
A source previously told Daily Mail, ‘While he didn’t physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her.’
In a statement sent to Daily Mail, Deborra-Lee 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, 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 continued, ‘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.
‘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 concluded her statement with the ‘one thing’ that she has learned, which is ‘that none of this is personal,’ adding, ‘We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random.
‘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.’
It was later revealed that Furness and Jackman are splitting their ritzy $24M penthouse in New York City.
While details of how they divvy up their combined $387 million fortune, the exes have at least decided to split their $24 million Manhattan property down the middle.
On June 2, Jackman and Furness filed records with the city regarding their shares of their former love nest, as seen in documents obtained by Daily Mail.
The three-bedroom and 3.5-bathroom penthouse, which the couple purchased together back in 2022 for $21.12 million, had not been listed for sale but underwent a property transfer.
The Aussie heartthrob was recently spotted arriving at the Minetta Lane Theatre in a casual but eye-catching ensemble, to rehearse for his off-Broadway play, ‘Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes.’
Hugh looked every bit the fitness enthusiast in the snug navy polo that accentuated his well-defined physique, along with black athletic shorts and matching sneakers.
He carried a bicycle helmet tucked under one arm and flashed a beaming smile as he greeted a fan waiting outside, pausing to chat warmly before heading inside for another day of rehearsals.
The limited engagement run ended on June 18. Jackman, however, still has upcoming dates throughout the summer at Radio City Music Hall for his solo show.
In a turn of events following Deborra-Lee’s divorce filing, the actor suffered a humiliating blow with ticket sales to ‘Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love,’ dropping to $20 with fans hoping to sell their previously purchased tickets.
