In the images, Jackman smiled for the camera beside a calm lakeside path, seemingly embracing the peaceful moment outdoors.
‘Sunday morning walk in the rain … heaven (and muddy)!’ he captioned the Instagram gallery.

‘So glad you’re happy and enjoying your day,’ one follower commented, while another wrote: ‘Wow what a beautiful trail! Good to see your smile.’
The post followed Jackman and Furness’ announcement that they are ending their marriage after 27 years together.
