Hugh Jackman urges ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness to move on

Hugh Jackman is said to be trying hard to ease tensions with his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

Insiders have recently revealed that the Wolverine actor is willing to take responsibility of their marriage breakdown and hopes to move forward.

"He's ready to take total responsibility for his part in the breakdown of their marriage. Hugh never intended to hurt Deb," the source told Radar Online.

Deborra-Lee Furness filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman in May 2025. "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," Furness said in the statement.

It is pertinent to mention that it was after Jackman got inappropriately close to younger Broadway costar Sutton Foster and they went public with their offstage romance.

Now, a source claims, "Hugh feels terrible that things have gotten so ugly between them."

"They have decades of history together and he would love it if they could take the good of that and leave the bad behind," they added.

Notably, Jackman and Furness also shares an adopted daughter Ava Jackman, who is set to turn 21st.

The source said, "Ava turns 21 in July and Hugh would like for them to all celebrate the moment together. That's why he's really pushing to get together with Deb and hash things out."

"He wants her to feel heard, and his hope is that she'll be able to own her part in things too. But if Deb still isn't there yet, Hugh says he's fine continuing to take the brunt of the blame if it means they can have some peace," they added.
