### Deborra-Lee Furness Changes Tune in Divorce Statement from Hugh Jackman

Deborra-Lee Furness has recently made a striking divergence from the friendly tone she and Hugh Jackman initially adopted when they announced their separation nearly two years ago. In a new statement to the Daily Mail, Furness spoke of "betrayal," marking a stark contrast to the couple's earlier amicable communication.

"My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal," Furness shared. She emphasized the deep emotional scars left by such experiences but expressed faith in a higher power, which she believes aids in navigating life's adversities. "This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage," she continued. "Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose."

This new narrative sharply contrasts with the joint statement made by the couple in September 2023 when they revealed their decision to part ways. At that time, they expressed gratitude for their nearly 30-year-long marriage and noted their mutual decision to separate for individual growth. "We have been blessed to share almost 3 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."

In recent developments, Jackman has reportedly been linked with his former "Music Man" co-star Sutton Foster. The two have been seen publicly together, including an instance in Santa Monica, Calif., where they were spotted holding hands in January. Foster herself had filed for divorce months prior, adding another layer to the unfolding narrative.

Jackman, aged 56, and Furness, aged 69, originally met on the Australian TV series "Correlli" and tied the knot in 1996. Together, they share two children, a son named Oscar and a daughter named Ava.

As the story continues to develop, HuffPost has reached out to their representatives but has yet to receive a response.
