Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness is pictured without her wedding band in New York City just DAYS before announcing shock split after 27 years of marriage

Hugh Jackman’s estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness was pictured on a solo outing in New York City on Tuesday, just three days before the couple announced they were splitting after 27 years of marriage.

The 67-year-old Australian actress looked casual yet elegant as she climbed into a waiting SUV in the city.

Notably, she appeared without a wedding ring, although it’s unclear how consistently she wore it even before the divorce news.

DailyMail.com confirmed on Wednesday that she and her 54-year-old husband had split after almost three decades.

“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together as husband and wife for nearly 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 on Friday.

‘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 navigates this transition throughout our lives.”

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.

Back in black: She wore a black top and matching shorts, high black and white striped socks and matching platform heels. Although she went without a wedding ring, it appears that she has gone without a wedding ring before, sometimes even with Hugh by her side
