Hugh Jackman's Divorce From Deborra-Lee Furness Reportedly Has Made Him "Odd And Erratic"

For many years, Hugh Jackman seemed like one of the most down-to-earth movie stars in the world. Throughout that time, it often seemed like one of the keys to Jackman's happiness was his marriage to his longtime love, Deborra-Lee Furness. Then, it was announced that Jackman and Furness were getting divorced.

Following that shocking news, many of Jackman's fans took notice when his social media activity began to seem concerning. Worse than that, many fans began to worry that Jackman may have been having a mental health emergency as he began posting bizarre close-up photos of himself. In April 2024, an insider blamed the divorce for Jackman's concerning behavior.

“He’s clearly trying to get attention, but it’s coming off as strange and unprofessional. If Deb were around, she’d never let him embarrass himself this way!”

The same insider went on to talk to the outlet about the way Jackman has acted in his personal life since his split from Furness.

What is Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' relationship timeline, according to People?

According to the insider, Jackman claims he is doing well, but his strange behavior is alarming to many of his oldest friends.

“He tells people he’s thriving — and to his credit he has managed to get out there and enjoy a few dates and have plenty of fun — but his behavior is still pretty odd and erratic these days. Between the self-obsessed social media posts and the fact that he’s started partying with people half his age, it’s sounding alarm bells for a lot of his old friends.”

After the controversy about Jackman's social media activity began getting a lot of attention, The Daily Mail published an article about the situation. After talking to an insider of their own, the outlet reported that Jackman's fans shouldn't be worried about the actor.

"Hugh is aware of his fans and their concern for his well-being, but he is good. He is excited for Deadpool and being Wolverine again. That's where most of his focus is going - on work and being present for that."

Unfortunately for everyone involved, it seems like Jackman's longtime friends may not be able to help him through his divorce. The reason for that, according to In Touch Weekly's insider, is that Jackman reportedly is distancing himself from his old pals.

“He doesn’t seem to have the time for his old crowd and they feel they’ve been ditched right along with Deb. They try to make plans with him but he’s never got the time — except he always has time for people like Ryan Reynolds. It’s insulting!”

From the outside looking in, there is no way for Jackman's fans to know what is going on in his personal life. That said, it is worth noting that some of the insider's comments won't seem overly surprising for people who've been divorced.

Following the news that Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were getting a divorce, a TMZ employee asked the Wolverine actor how he was doing. While Jackman stated that he didn't want to talk about the divorce, he admitted that he was going through a difficult time. "It doesn't feel right to discuss this now. We're going through a hard time."

While there isn't much research on the subject, losing friendships following a divorce, unfortunately, is very common. In many cases, people distance themselves from the person who is getting divorced, but that can certainly go both ways.

Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness Reportedly Have Different Perspectives On Dating After Divorce

When In Touch Weekly's insider was talking about how Jackman was handling his divorce, they seemed concerned about him. However, there was one thing the insider gave Jackman credit for, getting back out there in the dating world.

According to a December 2023 Yahoo! Entertainment article, there were rumors that Jackman was dating Sutton Foster, his former Broadway co-star. However, those rumors have never been confirmed by anyone involved and the conjecture about the two actors seemed to go away.

Later in April 2024, The Daily Mail's aforementioned Jackman insider spoke about his dating life. According to the insider, Jackman wasn't in any rush to date anyone at the time.

"When it comes to his love life, he thinks it is funny that so many people are wanting to know all about it. He will get there again. It isn't a priority, but if something materialized, he would make it a priority."

Unlike her ex, Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken out publicly about how she felt about being single again for the first time in decades. According to what Furness told The Daily Telegraph in January 2024, Furness is excited to be a single woman once again.

"It is kind of exciting. You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift."

Given Furness' comments, it is interesting to see she is excited to be single while Jackman isn't in a rush to start dating again.
