Hugh Jackman was spotted on a solo bike ride in New York City on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after his estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness broke her silence following their divorce.
The handsome actor, 54, donned a black jacket and gray pants, complete with helmet during his bike ride.
Hugh’s sighting comes after Deborra, 67, broke her silence since the split in a phone call between radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson.
The radio duo accidentally called the Australian actress, 67, live on air (Australian time) on Tuesday and were shocked when she answered the phone.

“We actually called you by accident, it’s ridiculous. Seriously, this is not a stabbing,” Kyle told Deborra-Lee during the conversation.
“We didn’t mean to actually call you. But now that you’re here, we won’t go into it. We love you, we hope you are doing well.”
‘Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. You’re very sweet,” she replied.
Kyle continued, “I just feel like it’s too soon. I don’t want to get involved in anything. But we love you, and you call us when you want to talk.”
‘Thanks guys. I really appreciate it,” Deborra-Lee, an Australian actress, said before hanging up.
In mid-September, Deborra-Lee and Hugh shocked their fans when they announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.
“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together for almost three decades. Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth,” the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE earlier this month.
‘Our family is and will remain 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 goes through this transition.”

The former couple signed the statement as “Deb and Hugh Jackman,” adding, “This is the only statement either of us will make.”
The Australian couple share two children together; Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.
Last April, the couple celebrated their anniversary and Jackman posted a sparkling tribute to his wife on Instagram.
“I love you Deb. Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. 27 years! I love you so much,” the actor wrote in his caption.
‘Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your smile, your spirit, generosity, humor, boldness, courage and loyalty are an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart,” he shared in the heartfelt post.

No longer a couple: In February, Hugh told Smooth Radio: ‘I think honesty and intimacy and making time (are the secrets to a long and happy marriage). You can’t just assume that everything will go well. You have to make time;’ seen on September 28, 2019
Although undoubtedly better known than his wife, Deborra-Lee had already shot twenty films by the time she and Jackman met, starring as a prison psychologist and brain-damaged convict in ABC TV’s ten-episode series Correlli in 1995 .
Deborra-Lee recently played Jill Bailey opposite Eric Bana in Robert Connolly’s sequel Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which was released in Australian and New Zealand theaters on August 24.
