Deborra-Lee Furness planning ‘tell-all explosive book’ following Hugh Jackman split
Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly planning to reveal the tragic details of her marriage breakdown with Hugh Jackman in a tell-all “divorce diary”.

“Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,” an alleged source told the outlet.

“As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.”
It comes just weeks after Furness filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Jackman, and released a public statement where she spoke of her “traumatic journey of betrayal”.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she told Daily Mail.
“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.
“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 ended her statement with the “one thing” she has learned, which is “that none of this is personal”.
While Jackman is yet to address his ex-wife’s commentary, the movie star was spotted with fellow Australian celebrity and friend Andy Lee.
Jackman shared a photo of them together to his Instagram after making a visit to the comedian’s new Aussie pub Old Mates.
In another photo, Jackman posed with Lee and his business partner Eddy Buckingham behind the bar.
Lee opened the Aussie-themed pub in February and it has been a hit among Aussies in New York since its opening night.
It seems Jackman wanted to see what all the fuss was about and was thrilled with the slice of Australia in New York .
“Old Mates – how Aussies eat in NYC,” he captioned the post.
“This pub is amazing.”
He is now dating Broadway star Sutton Foster.
Furness and Jackman, who share two adopted adult children, announced their spilt in September 2023.
