Deborra-Lee Furness Has No Reason to ‘Play Nice’ With Ex Hugh Jackman Amid Divorce, Says Source

Deborra-Lee Furness is still furious at ex-husband Hugh Jackman and his “betrayal” — and she’s plotting to write a revenge tell-all to reveal every dark secret of their marriage, along with his true character, insiders reveal.

Sources say that the Aussie actress, 69 — who married 56-year-old Hugh when she was a big star Down Under and he was still a nobody — has maintained her silence long enough, and now she’s gearing up to sing like a canary.

“She’s filed for divorce in New York with no contest from Hugh and there’s nothing stopping her from unloading her arsenal on him and making a bundle in the process,” confides an insider, who tells the National ENQUIRER that the curdled couple’s long and drawn-out negotiations are done and it’s a wrap.

“Deb has kept completely quiet and very discreet, but a settlement has been mutually agreed upon and it’s over,” says the source. “She has no further incentive to play nice.”

As readers know, the Wolverine star and Deb — who wed in 1996, and adopted son Oscar in 2000 and daughter Ava in 2005 — announced their separation in September 2023 amid rumors of his clandestine affair with his married Music Man leading lady Sutton Foster.

Sutton, 50, fueled the gossip when she filed for divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after a decade of marriage and one child, daughter Emily, 8.

After months of “sneaking around,” Hugh and Sutton went public with their romance this January.

“Deb’s clearly feeling he stabbed her in the back, and she means to make him pay dearly,” notes the source.

“She knows everything about Hugh, including his early career struggles, his crippling insecurities and shameless ambitions, and how he feels about the rumors of his sexuality that dog him to this day.”

“He was her everything — and now he’s the louse who broke her heart.”

After the divorce filing, Deb broke her silence about the end of their 27-year marriage for the first time.

“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said in a May 27 statement.

“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.”

“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.”

Adds the insider, “Hugh has feared she could one day embarrass the hell out of him and ruin his reputation — and Deb seems well on her way.”
