Is Deborra-Lee Furness moving Down Under? Rumours swirl that Australian actress may leave New York after split from Hugh Jackman
Deborra-Lee Furness divorced husband Hugh Jackman last year after 27 years of marriage.
And now speculation is growing that the actress, 68, could leave her current home in New York and return to Australia.
According to women’s DayDeb’s friends have been ‘in her ear’ about moving Down Under now that her marriage is over.
It’s unclear if Furness listens to her friends, but she has spent time in Sydney in recent weeks promoting her new film Force of Nature: The Dry 2 and attending the Australian Open.
Jackman and Furness bought a $21 million home in New York City before splitting last year.

The 54-year-old X-Men actor and the 68-year-old Correlli actress spent the money on a penthouse in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood in August 2022.
The 440 sqm apartment is located in an ultra-chic 57-unit building and is listed by Noble Black Real Estate.
The property features a light and airy open plan layout with four bedrooms centered around the communal living areas.
It has floor-to-ceiling windows over four meters high and boasts 343 m² of outdoor space with a huge roof terrace.
The purchase took place just weeks after the stage couple put their incredible three-story New York City apartment up for sale.
The former couple had lived in their chic downtown Manhattan apartment since 2008 and they listed it in June 2022 for the whopping price of $38.9 million.

Deborra-Lee and Hugh announced their separation last year, explaining at the time that they wanted to “pursue individual growth.”
“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together for almost three decades,” the couple said in a statement to People.
“Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.
‘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 couple married in 1996 after meeting on the set of Correlli in 1995. During their marriage, they adopted two children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.
