Overview

  • The pair have settled on splitting their assets and are awaiting a judge’s signature to finalize their divorce.
  • The absence of a prenuptial agreement has prolonged proceedings by complicating the division of Jackman’s estimated $380 million fortune.
  • Deborra-Lee Furness publicly accused her husband of emotional betrayal and announced plans to publish a tell-all divorce memoir.
  • Jackman’s relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster has fueled the public disagreement and strained the formerly amicable split.
  • Divorce experts say high-net-worth splits without prenuptials often become protracted and emotionally charged.
