Jackman's First Outing since Divorce News Made Headlines
After the news of Jackman's divorce hit the headlines on September 15, 2023, the movie star was spotted the following day. Jackman was photographed running errands in New York City around town early in the day. Noticeably, he was captured without wearing his wedding band.
The world-famous Australian native was asked by a reporter how he was holding up while walking with a bottle of water in hand, and he answered: "It's a difficult time, but I appreciate you." In another clip, Jackman was approached by another journalist, and he once again mentioned he could not discuss anything more about the subject.
Jackman and Furness announced they are parting ways after 27 years of marriage on September 15, 2023. Two weeks before the announcement, she attended the US Open in New York without him and was instead accompanied by her good friend, Huma Abedin.
Furness was also not wearing her wedding ring and was reportedly less jovial, unlike Abedin, who was photographed smiling and laughing. The actress paid more attention to the match and her food; at one point, she was seen fixated on her phone.
Following news that she and her estranged husband are parting ways, the Daily Mail Australia posted a photo of her from the US Open match on Twitter and captioned it, "She looks devastated."
Furness and Jackman tied the knot in April 1996 after meeting in 1995 on the set of the Australian series, "Corelli." They adopted two children together: son Oscar, 23, in 2000 and daughter Ava, 18, in 2005.
