Hugh Jackman’s New Chapter: Divorce, New Love, and a High-Value Property Sale
Hugh Jackman, the Australian actor known for his iconic role as Wolverine, has been making headlines not just for his recent relationship with Sutton Foster, but also for his decision to sell one of the marital homes he shared with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. This move comes as the couple continues to navigate their divorce settlement, which was finalized in June 2025.
Before Jackman and Foster made their highly anticipated Met Gala debut this week, the actor took a significant step to separate from his past. The move involved relisting a property that had once been a symbol of their marriage. This particular home, located in Manhattan, is now on the market again, signaling a new chapter in Jackman’s life.
A Stunning New York Apartment
The property in question is a five-bedroom, six-bathroom apartment situated in the upscale West Village area of Manhattan. Originally listed for an impressive AUD$57.5 million (US$38.9 million) in 2022, the price has since been reduced by AUD$16 million. Now, the apartment is being offered at AUD$41.5 million (US$28.75 million), making it a prime candidate for potential buyers seeking luxury living in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city.
This expansive residence covers the 8th, 9th, and 10th floors of a 15-storey high-rise building. It spans 1,021 square metres and offers breathtaking views of the Hudson River and the iconic Manhattan skyline. The 10th floor features a luxurious main bedroom suite complete with a studio, spa bath, sauna, and dressing rooms. The other two levels include living spaces, a library, and a guest bedroom, providing ample room for both family and guests.
Other notable features of the apartment include floor-to-ceiling windows, a recreation room, and a professional gourmet kitchen. Residents of the building can also enjoy amenities such as a fitness centre, a full-time doorman, and a concierge service, adding to the appeal of this high-end property.
Divorce Settlement and Other Properties
The sale of this property is part of the broader divorce settlement between Jackman and Furness. According to reports, Furness reportedly bought out Jackman’s stake in their other luxury New York abode—a three-bedroom penthouse valued at AUD$35 million (US$24 million). This property, which the couple purchased together in 2022 for AUD$31.6 million (US$21.12 million), had not been listed for sale but underwent a property transfer.
Jackman and Furness, who married in 1996, announced their separation in 2023 after 27 years of marriage. Their relationship had been a high-profile one, with both attending multiple Met Galas over the years. However, their last joint appearance was in 2023, and Jackman attended the 2024 event solo, while skipping the event altogether last year amid their public split.
A New Relationship and Public Reaction
Meanwhile, Jackman and Foster, who officially became a couple in January 2025, made their first public appearance together at the Met Gala. The pair looked completely smitten, with many catching them sharing loving glances during their red carpet appearance. Jackman, towering over Foster, wore a black tuxedo with a stylish velvet jacket and shiny dress shoes, while Foster dazzled in a glittering gold one-shoulder gown paired with a matching jeweled clutch.
Despite their romantic display, the couple’s appearance did not go without criticism. Social media users were quick to slam Jackman for choosing Foster as his Met Gala date, calling the move “disrespectful” and “classless.” Many fans expressed their disappointment, with some even stating they lost respect for the actor.
Moving Forward
As Jackman continues to navigate his new relationship and the ongoing process of dividing his assets with Furness, the actor remains a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. His decisions, both personal and financial, continue to capture the attention of fans and media alike. Whether it’s through his career or his personal life, Jackman remains a compelling story for those following his journey.
