Deborra-Lee Furness on Tuesday spoke of “betrayal” after she filed for divorce from Hugh Jackman ― an obvious sharp flip from the celeb couple’s amicable joint assertion once they separated practically two years in the past.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she stated in a assertion to the Every day 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,” she continued. “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.”
The message appeared to conflict mightily with the phrases issued from the 2 of them collectively once they introduced their separation in September 2023.
“We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” Jackman and Furness stated in a assertion on the time. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
The “Wolverine” actor and his former “Music Man” co-star Sutton Foster have reportedly been an merchandise since final 12 months, and the 2 have been seen holding arms on a stroll in Santa Monica, California, in January. Foster filed for divorce months earlier.
Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, met on the Australian TV collection “Correlli” and married in 1996. They’ve a son, Oscar, and daughter, Ava.
Reps for the 2 didn’t instantly reply to HuffPost requests for remark early Wednesday.
