According to the Daily Mail, Hugh Jackman's book will include many candid confessions about his life, including details of his recent divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. The couple ended their marriage in September 2023 after 27 years together.
Jackman's loved ones are concerned about his well-being as he opens up about personal topics.
A source in "Woman's Day" shared that Hugh is clearly anxious, as he's typically been able to shield himself behind his roles or family. They also noted that he never truly saw himself as the tough guy the public perceived and is now worried that his natural "geekiness" might damage his image. Many of those close to him are reportedly concerned about him as well.
"Honestly, we’ve all been a bit worried about him. He’s been so focused on Deb and the kids, and making sure they’re all taken care of in this divorce, that he kind of got lost there," it reads.
Hugh Jackman's divorce
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their split in an official statement filled with platitudes: "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth." The couple emphasised that their priority will always be the well-being of their children, whom they want to support fully. As is customary, they also requested privacy.
The divorce did not mean a complete break in contact between them. Hugh and Deborra remain on friendly terms, and according to a close friend, "now both feel much better and have a supportive, friendly relationship."
The couple met in 1995 and married in Melbourne a year later. Hugh was 27 years old at the time, while Deborra was 14 years older than him. Together, they raised two adopted children: Oscar (24) and Ava (19).
Of course, Hugh Jackman's most recent prominent film is Deadpool & Wolverine, which was a box office hit this past summer.
