Hugh Jackman was seen in high spirits outside the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City on Wednesday, seemingly unbothered by the ongoing divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
The Australian actor, 56, was all smiles as he greeted fans and signed autographs following his performance in the play "Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes." He was dressed in a light blue Ralph Lauren polo top and dark blue trousers, carrying a black backpack.
This public display of cheerfulness comes amidst reports that Furness, 69, is planning to release a tell-all memoir detailing their 27-year marriage and the circumstances surrounding their separation.
According to sources, Furness is documenting her emotional journey, with plans to publish the memoir once the divorce is finalized. The actress is reportedly eager to share her perspective on the split, which has been described as a "traumatic journey of betrayal" in a public statement she made last month.
The couple announced their separation in 2023, citing a desire for individual growth. The news of the divorce and the potential memoir has sparked speculation about the reasons behind their split, including rumors of Jackman's closeness to Broadway star Sutton Foster.
Adding to the situation, the former couple has put their New York apartment on the market. The five-bedroom triplex in the West Village, purchased in 2008 for AU$32 million, boasts a large floor space and luxurious amenities.
