Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, is finally speaking out.

Furness sought a divorce from the “Greatest Showman” actor nearly two years after their split, and she finally addressed “the difficult path of betrayal” in a detailed statement.

The 69-year-old told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that their split is “a profound wound that cuts deep.”

She noted, “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 conviction has guided me through the end of a marriage that lasted close to 30 years,” Furness stated, mentioning that she has “acquired vast knowledge and understanding.”

Furness believes “apparent adversity” can lead to someone’s “greatest good” and “true purpose.”

She expressed, “It might be painful, but ultimately, reconnecting with yourself and living according to your own integrity, principles, and boundaries brings liberation and freedom.”

The actress, who “remain[s] grateful,” concluded by insisting “none of this is personal.”

She explained, “We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves.”

Jackman’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The statement marked Furness’ first time speaking out since her 2023 separation from Jackman, who went public with girlfriend Sutton Foster the following year.

One of Furness’ friends did, however, make headlines in November 2024 for calling affair rumors “on point” via Instagram.

“My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI!” British actress and photographer Amanda de Cadenet wrote at the time.

The “Wolverine” star, 56, and Foster, 50, met co-starring in “The Music Man” on Broadway and were recently photographed moving the actress’ belongings into Jackman’s New York City penthouse.

New Idea reported Tuesday that Furness is “shattered” — and “concerned” Jackman is moving too fast.

Jackman and Furness wed in April 1996 and welcomed son Oscar, now 25, and daughter Ava, now 19, during their time together.

The “Younger” alum, for her part, is the mother of daughter Emily, 8, with ex-husband Ted Griffin.
