Deborra-Lee Furness planning ‘tell-all explosive book' following Hugh Jackman split
The 69-year-old has been documenting her emotional journey, with plans to publish an explosive book once her divorce from the Wolverine star is legally finalised, according to
New Idea.
'Deb's been desperate to have her side of the story out there,' an alleged source told the outlet.
'She's been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce.
'As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.'
It comes just weeks after Furness filed official divorce papers, ending her 27-year marriage to Jackman, and released a public statement where she spoke of her 'traumatic journey of betrayal'.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she told Daily Mail.
'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.
'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.
'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.
'It can hurt but in the long run returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.'
She ended her statement with the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal'.
While Jackman is yet to address his ex-wife's commentary, the movie star was spotted with fellow Australian celebrity and friend Andy Lee.
Jackman shared a photo of them together to his Instagram after making a visit to the comedian's new Aussie pub Old Mates.
In another photo, Jackman posed with Lee and his business partner Eddy Buckingham behind the bar.
Lee opened the Aussie-themed pub in February and it has been a hit among Aussies in New York since its opening night.
It seems Jackman wanted to see what all the fuss was about and was thrilled with the slice of Australia in New York .
'Old Mates – how Aussies eat in NYC,' he captioned the post.
'This pub is amazing.'
He is now dating Broadway star Sutton Foster.
Furness and Jackman, who share two adopted adult children, announced their spilt in September 2023.

Meghan Markle's Fourth of July ‘easy entertaining' post goes up in smoke
Meghan Markle rolled out the red, white and blueberry on the Fourth of July, sharing a clip of herself assembling a charcuterie board — but her bid at 'easy entertaining' left viewers anything but entertained. In a video posted to her As Ever Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex styled a wooden platter with fruit, star-shaped cheese, crackers, and a ramekin of her famously sold-out $14 ($A21.35) raspberry spread. Dressed in a summery striped shirt and filmed in what looked like her Montecito kitchen, Meghan smiled, styled, and even giggled as she dropped a rogue raspberry into the mix. It was a slice of domestic goddess realness — or at least, that was the goal. Instead, some viewers likened the presentation to a 2014 Pinterest post. 'Bless her heart for thinking this is new,' one Reddit critic wrote. Others called the faux calligraphy 'eye-roll inducing' and accused the Duchess of not-so-subtly product placing her jewellery into frame. The video also popped up on her personal Instagram account just minutes later, featuring an aerial shot of the same board. But while the jam sold out in 30 minutes back in April, not everyone who tasted it thought it was worth the hype. Daily Mail previously revealed the spread — or 'preserve,' as Meghan insists on calling it — is made by The Republic of Tea, which also supplies her brand's honey and tea bags. Their HQ is in California, but the jam's actually made in a factory in Illinois. Reviewers described the spread as overly sweet, 'surprisingly runny,' and more 'raspberry dessert sauce' than toast topper. Meghan's explanation? Jam is technically equal parts sugar and fruit — and she wanted hers to taste more like the fruit. The result, critics say, missed the mark. 'It dripped off the spoon like a sauce,' one reviewer noted. 'You'd be forgiven for thinking it melted in transit.' Compared to household staples like Bonne Maman, Meghan's jam couldn't hold its shape — or a spoon. Out of five stars? Two, generously. In a May podcast appearance, Meghan acknowledged the drop-it-and-it's-gone launch may have frustrated customers. She likened the strategy to a sneaker drop but admitted: 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.'
