Hugh Jackman's ex Deborra-Lee Furness 'ready to start dating' after divorce

Hugh Jackman's ex Deborra-Lee Furness 'ready to start dating' after divorce

Perth Now10 hours ago
Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly being encouraged to "start dating again".
The 69-year-old actress - whose divorce from Hollywood star Hugh Jackman was finalised last month - is said to be open to finding love again, but she's not rushing into another relationship.
A source told Woman's Day magazine: "Deb is finally starting to heal and talk about what she wants in her life going forward.
"She's got an incredible support system that's been there every step of the way, helping her to pick up the pieces of her life.
"They are encouraging her to start dating again."
It's said while Deborra-Lee has been getting offers from some "incredible guys", she won't be tempted to settle.
The source added: "She knows what she brings to the table."
Deborra-Lee and Hugh split in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, but she only filed for divorce in May, and it was signed off by a judge a few weeks ago.
According to PEOPLE magazine, online court records from New York's Suffolk County Supreme Court show that a judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, and later uploaded to the website on June 23, with the case not listed as 'Disposed'.
When Deborra-Lee filed for divorce from the 56-year-old actor, she indicated the terms were uncontested and would only need a sign-off from a judge.
It was revealed days after the filing that the pair had begun to separate their shared assets.
The former couple met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli in 1995 and married on 11 April 1996.
They adopted their son, Oscar, now 24, in 2000, and their daughter, Ava, 19, in 2005.
In September 2023, they confirmed their separation in a joint statement shared with People, saying: 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.
"We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.
'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.'
In May, Deborra-Lee issued a separate statement discussing the emotional impact of the split.
She said: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep.'
Deborra added: 'However, I believe in a higher power and that God or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.
'That belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.'
According to The Daily Mail, a source claimed Hugh was 'blindsided' by Deborra's comments and 'extremely disappointed', alleging there had been 'an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press'.

Pascal's fame stretches Down Under for Fantastic Four

Stars of the upcoming Fantastic Four film have graced Australian shores for its local launch. Actor Pedro Pascal, who plays the stretchy superhero Reed Richards, headlined the promotional event in Sydney for Fantastic Four: First Steps - the third silver-screen incarnation of the comic-book series and first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Pascal, star of The Mandalorian and The Last of Us, makes his first appearance leading a superhero movie as his star continues to rise. The first Fantastic Four film in 2005 and its 2007 sequel were commercially successful but received a mixed critical reception, before a 2015 reboot panned by audiences and critics alike. This latest iteration, from TV mini-series WandaVision director Matt Shakman, stars Pascal as Richards - also known as Mister Fantastic - who can stretch any part of his body at will to superhuman lengths. The others in the titular quartet stepping out in Sydney are Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch). Kirby shares an interesting trait with her on-screen persona, with both actor and character sporting baby bumps. In the film, the Four "must defend earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner)". The action happens on parallel planet Earth-828 and features elements of 1960s culture and futuristic technology. The return of the Fantastic Four to the silver screen will lead into the 2026 release of the next Avengers film, Avengers: Doomsday, the film's producer and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige said in June. Fantastic Four: First Steps will be released in Australian cinemas on July 24. Stars of the upcoming Fantastic Four film have graced Australian shores for its local launch.

Sydney FC v Wrexham AFC LIVE updates: North-east Wales meets New South Wales in pre-season friendly

Go to latest G'day, g'day Hello football fans and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's friendly between Sydney FC and Wrexham AFC - a showdown that absolutely nobody would have thought up five years ago. I mean, why would they? Why on earth is the third-best team in Wales doing a pre-season tour of Australia? And why would around 35,000 people in Sydney be interested in braving a cold Tuesday night to see them play a team that was probably the A-League's biggest disappointment last season? The answer: celebrity, folks. A force so powerful that it works when the celebrities in question aren't even here. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney (now, legally, Rob Mac) are not at Allianz Stadium tonight - their schedules, we presume, are too busy - but it is only because of them that you even remotely care about Wrexham, or at least enough to click on this blog and read this post. Their takeover of Wrexham AFC is truly one of sport's most fascinating stories, and their rise from England's fifth tier to the Championship - three consecutive promotions, an unprecedented feat at this level - has been nothing short of a remarkable. The hit Disney+ series Welcome to Wrexham has documented it all, helping them build a global fanbase that stretches all the way … here. This coming season, the Red Dragons are just one division below the Premier League. Can they get there? Who knows. But this match forms an important part of their preparations. So let's see what happens. For Sydney FC, the job is simple: be a good opponent and fly the flag for the Australian game, unlike Melbourne Victory, who shamed the A-League with a 3-0 defeat on Friday night. (I'm joking.) I'm Vince Rugari, by the way. Pleasure to have your company. 7.05pm This place is buzzing Expecting a crowd of around/over 35,000 here at Allianz Stadium, which is quite something. Where would A-League teams fit in the English pyramid? This might be our best chance to find out Trying to draw meaning from pre-season friendlies is a fool's errand. But this is the A-League's silly season, after all - so in that spirit, let's have a crack. If you've thought about club soccer in Australia for longer than a few moments, the following unanswerable question may have crossed your mind: how would our teams fare in Europe? Specifically, England. In an alternate universe in which A-League sides have the opportunity to compete in the English pyramid system … how would they go? Would our best survive in the Premier League? Almost certainly not. So what's the level? Could champions Melbourne City hold their own in the Championship? Could the Wanderers climb out of League One? Would the likes of last season's cellar-dwellers Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar sink to the bottom of the League Two table … or lower? 6.52pm Here are the starting XIs For your perusual, the team sheet. The Sky Blues, still four months out from the start of the A-League season, are missing marquee man Douglas Costa, midfielder Leo Sena and defender Alex Grant - plus club great Anthony Caceres, who has departed for Macarthur FC, and some others like Patryk Klimala who have also moved on. Their squad is about six players short of what it will be when October comes, and two of those players will be imports. So don't judge them on this, tonight. Meanwhile, there's the Wrexham team. I know you don't know too much about these players individually, and you should probably know I don't either - but it's not about that, is it? It's about how they make you feel. 6.47pm G'day, g'day Hello football fans and welcome to our live coverage of tonight's friendly between Sydney FC and Wrexham AFC - a showdown that absolutely nobody would have thought up five years ago.
