Hugh Jackman has been accused of abruptly pulling away from some of his closest long‑term friends in New York and Sydney after his 2023 divorce from Deborra‑Lee Furness, with one source claiming the X‑Men star now appears to reserve his free time for Hollywood names like Ryan Reynolds instead. The suggestion, made in anonymous briefings to US outlets, paints a picture of a suddenly smaller inner circle around Hugh Jackman at the very moment many assumed he would be leaning hardest on his old crowd.
For context, Jackman and Furness were married for 27 years and widely held up as one of the rare, steady partnerships in an industry built on short‑term contracts and long memories. Their separation stunned fans who had become used to seeing the pair side by side at premieres and on red carpets, and who had quietly filed the Australian couple under 'probably indestructible.' When that façade cracked, Jackman's public behaviour shifted in subtle but noticeable ways.
