Deborra-Lee Furness breaks silence on life post-divorce
Deborra-Lee Furness has broken her silence on what life has looked like since her high profile split from Hugh Jackman.
The Aussie actress has hit the press circuit promoting Force of Nature: The Dry 2, the sequel to the hit 2020 film, in which she’ll star alongside Eric Bana.
Facing questions about her divorce, the 68-year-old finally broke her silence on how she has been dealing with life as a single woman.
“It is kind of exciting,” she told The Advertiser.
“You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening, and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift.”
Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman shocked the world in September last year when they announced they would be separating after 27 years of marriage.
The couple released a joint statement at the time announcing they were going their separate ways and had decided to split to pursue “individual growth”.
“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” they said.
“Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
They added that their family is their highest priority and that they will undertake “this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness”.
The couple met in 1995 on the set of an Australian television show they both starred in, and married just one year later.
Together they share two children, Oscar and Ava.
