In a development that has been making headlines in recent days, Deborra-Lee Furness has officially filed for divorce from her long-time partner Hugh Jackman. According to a report from Daily Mail, Furness filed the complaint in New York on May 23, nearly two years after the couple announced their shock split.

According to Daily Mail, Furness has received a "handsome spousal support payment" as part of their divorce settlement, with sources close to the couple indicating that there will be no "drama" as they terminate their 27-year marriage.

In a statement sent to Daily Mail, Furness reflected on the breakdown of their marriage, saying "My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. 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 and Jackman met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, and were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996. Jackman has since amassed an estimated fortune of around $200 million, thanks to his successful career in Hollywood, including his iconic role as Wolverine in Marvel’s blockbuster comic book franchise.
As Daily Mail reports, Jackman has recently gone public with his new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, and was seen walking hand-in-hand with her just days before Furness filed for divorce. Sources close to the couple indicate that Jackman is "looking forward to the future and not looking back".
