Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly eyeing up a no-holds-barred book that would spill all about her split from actor Hugh Jackman. The actress, 69, announced her separation from Hugh, 56, in September 2023 after almost three decades together.

They had built a picture-perfect life, with homes worldwide. However, last month, Deborra officially filed the divorce proceedings in a New York courthouse.

Deborra appeared to hit out at Hugh as the divorce was submitted. She said that her “heart and compassion” lay with people who had endured a “traumatic journey of betrayal.” She said she believed that a higher power was working for her.

“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,” she said. “It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values, and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

Now, it seems she is ready to reveal more about the painful split as Hugh has moved on with actress Sutton Foster. She has reportedly been writing down her emotional journey with plans to release a memoir once the divorce is finalised.

“Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,” a source told New Idea. “She’s been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.”

Deborra told the Daily Mail that everybody is on their own “journey” and while she may have been left hurt by her estranged husbands actions, relationships are not “random.”

“We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves.. I remain grateful.”

Announcing their split in 2023, the couple said: “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.

“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

A source has claimed there will be “no drama” between the pair once their marriage is officially dissolved. “A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,” a source said.

They went on to tell the Daily Mail : “There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved.

“Both are coming out of this financially secure. There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.”

The Mirror has contacted Deborra’s representative for comment.
