Hugh Jackman, Deborra-lee Furness quietly split $36m pad
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have made a huge move as tensions in their divorce heat up.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness have started divvying up their real estate assets amid their divorce.
According to The Real Deal, the couple are splitting their New York City penthouse.
The transaction took place just two days after Furness formally filed for divorce on May 23. The residence, for its part, was not listed for sale, the New York Post reports.
Property records reveal the “Correlli” actress paid $US11.7 million ($A18 million) to the limited liability company (LLC) that the pair used to buy their sprawling residence in 2022 for $US21 million.
The apartment is now valued at around $US23.6 million ($A36 million), according to People, indicating that Furness has bought the ‘X-Men’ actor out.

Located in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood, the three-bedroom pad spans 5,000 square feet across two floors with sweeping views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
The apartment features a private elevator entrance, a library that can convert to a fourth bedroom, and a chef’s kitchen with a breakfast bar.
The primary suite includes a massive dressing room and a spa-style bathroom outfitted with six fixtures.
Outdoor space, spread across 3,700 square feet, has a main-floor terrace, a loggia and a rooftop deck complete with an outdoor kitchen — all offering front-row views of the river.
The news comes after the former couple reportedly struggled to see eye-to-eye on how to divide their $US250 million ($A387 million) fortune.
The pair have now reached an agreement. According to the documents, the divorce is uncontested and will require only a sign-off from a judge.
The Manhattan penthouse is one of the former couple’s impressive properties.
The pair acquired homes around the world, including in the US, UK and Australia.
It is believed that they still own a waterfront pad in Bondi Beach, Hamptons beach house and second apartment in New York City’s West Village.
That Perry Street property, which records show they bought in 2010, was listed for $US38.9 million in 2022.
According to US real estate company StreetEasy, it quietly came off the market in April 2024 after a series of price cuts.
Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, announced their separation in 2023 after 27 years of marriage, citing a desire to pursue “individual growth” while maintaining mutual respect and love. Their shocking split came a year after buying this home.
Though neither party has publicly detailed the reasons behind the split, speculation swirled after Jackman’s close friendship with Broadway co-star Sutton Foster drew attention during his run in “The Music Man.”
Furness broke her silence shortly after filing for divorce from Jackman last month.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” Furness said in a statement to the Daily Mail alluding to Jackman’s alleged affair.
