• Hugh Jackman made another public appearance since the news of his divorce made headlines.
• The first time he was seen in public following the announcement, he was not wearing his wedding ring.
• Jackman's estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness was also not seen with her ring two weeks before they announced their divorce.

Hugh Jackman was recently spotted following the shocking news that he and his wife of over twenty years are divorcing. He was with a fellow Hollywood friend, and fans reacted to his outing.

Jackman reportedly looked somber while spending time with his good longtime pal and fellow actor Ryan Reynolds in New York City on September 18, 2023.

The "Wolverine" star was said to be in deep thought during his public appearance as he conversed with the "Deadpool" star, Reynolds. Jackman wore a black jacket with a white tee underneath and paired it with pants and sneakers. He also sported a bushy beard. Meanwhile, Reynolds donned a matching black jacket with gray slacks and a blue baseball cap.

Jackman's recent outing comes days after announcing that he and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, were getting a divorce. After photos of him and Reynolds went public, fans commented on the social media posts.

"Daddies," wrote one person on Instagram. Another penned, "This is the first time I have seen him look like his actual age." Someone else commented, "Always the same. They don't care how old they are until the oldest is getting old."

Other social media users believed Jackman would soon move on, and one person remarked that it would be with a younger woman. "Waiting here to see him with a teenage model," the person said.

Another concurred, "Soon he will date some top model. Sorry Wolverine but it's true." Meanwhile, someone alluded that Jackman being single meant an opportunity for other women. The online user wrote, "Good news for single women," alongside heart eyes emoji. Another commented, "So you're saying I have a chance..."

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.
