Hugh Jackman's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly in talks to sell home video footage and write a tell-all memoir about their marriage, with US outlets claiming a bidding war is under way as of late October for what is being pitched as a raw account of love, identity and starting over. The reports, which centre on Furness allegedly being 'done protecting' the X‑Men star after their divorce, also suggest producers are circling a possible documentary using the private recordings.
The news came after months of swirling speculation around the former couple's split and Jackman's image as one of Hollywood's safest pairs of hands. Jackman, 57, and Furness, 68, announced the end of their 27‑year marriage in 2023, presenting a united front at the time and asking for privacy. Since then, the tone around the break-up has shifted considerably, at least in the tabloid telling of it, with anonymous sources painting a far more fractious picture of what went wrong behind closed doors.
