Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman were married for 27 years. They had two children together-- daughter Ava and son Oscar.

According to online court records from New York's Suffolk County Supreme Court, the divorce judgment was officially filed on June 12. It was later uploaded to the court’s official website on June 23. As reported by People magazine, the case is now listed as “disposed” on the website, meaning it has been officially closed.

Deborra was the one to approach authorities in New York and officially filed for divorce from him, as per the documents obtained by the outlet.

In the divorce petition filed in New York, dated May 23, she mentioned that the terms of their divorce had already been settled, which most likely fast-forwarded the procedure.

The attorney also completed the New York State child support registry form, a proposed divorce judgment, and the official certificate of dissolution.
