Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness are officially divorced.

Online records from New York's Suffolk County Supreme Court show that the case is listed as "Disposed."

Furness, 69, filed for divorce from the X-Men star on May 27, nearly two years after they first announced their separation.

The couple’s marriage broke down reportedly due to Jackman’s affair with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, who also filed for divorce from her husband of a decade, Ted Griffin, in October 2024.

Sutton and Jackman went public with their romance in January this year.

Meanwhile, Deborra opened up about navigating the "traumatic journey of betrayal" after filing for divorce.

"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," Furness noted in a statement.

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," she explained.

"It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom," Furness added.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness tied the knot in 1996 and adopted two kids, daughter Ava and son Oscar, during their 27 years of marriage.
