Hugh Jackman Forms Broadway Company, Splits NYC Properties with Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman is embarking on a new phase in his career by partnering with Tony Award-winning producer Sonia Friedman to expand his influence in Broadway, aiming to become a major theatrical producer. This partnership follows his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness, who previously managed many of his business interests. The couple, who announced their split in 2023 and officially filed for divorce in May 2025, are amicably dividing their properties, including a $24 million New York penthouse. Furness has publicly reflected on the painful yet liberating end of their nearly 30-year marriage, implying Jackman’s infidelity as a cause of their split. Meanwhile, Jackman has moved on with his life, including forming a new business partnership with close friend Ryan Reynolds to co-own Australia's SailGP champion team, signaling his focus on new ventures beyond acting. The divorce and subsequent developments highlight both personal transitions and professional ambitions for the former couple.
