Could love be making a quiet comeback for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness? The former Hollywood power couple, who split after three decades of marriage, are reportedly reconnecting following a period marked by heartbreak and tension.
After their 2023 separation, rumours of betrayal and emotional turmoil surrounded the pair. Deborra-Lee’s cryptic online message at the time — “My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal” — hinted at deep pain. But time, it seems, has softened old wounds.
According to Radar Online, Hugh has been working to rebuild trust with his ex-wife. An insider revealed that the two have been meeting in New York to talk things through. “Settling all the legal stuff seems to have helped because she’s finally coming around — they’ve gotten together a couple of times in New York recently to talk things out,” the source said.
The insider added that the atmosphere between them has shifted dramatically: “By all accounts, things have improved, which is fantastic for everyone — most of all their kids. It’s been two years since they officially separated. It really is time to let the hatred and anger go.”
Their divorce was finalised in June, putting an end to one of Hollywood’s longest marriages. Despite earlier reports that Deborra was unhappy with the settlement terms, both are now reportedly prioritising peace and co-parenting.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to swirl around Hugh’s personal life. The Wolverine star has been linked to Sutton Foster, his former Broadway co-star, prompting rumours that he may be ready to move on romantically. Still, those close to the actor suggest that his renewed bond with Deborra is focused on friendship and closure rather than romance — at least for now.
For fans who admired their decades-long partnership, the possibility of reconciliation, even as friends, is a hopeful sign that forgiveness can follow heartbreak, and that closure sometimes looks a lot like kindness.
