Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman's ex-wife, is reportedly upset with actress Blake Lively for siding with her ex-husband following their split. The alleged feud comes after Jackman went public with his new relationship with actress Sutton Foster last week in Santa Monica, California.

After 27 years of marriage until their September 2023 breakup, the 69-year-old Australian producer reportedly believes that Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, were aware of Hugh Jackman's romance before it was made public.

A source told Woman's Day:

“She knew they would side with Hugh when they split, but what has disturbed Deb is the very real possibility that Ryan and Blake must have known about Sutton”

Deborra-Lee has also found relief, even though she felt 'blindsided' by the news. According to DailyMail, an insider said:

“Deborra-Lee feels a sense of relief to be honest with you. She trusted her intuition, and her intuition was right. She finally feels at ease after getting confirmation that her fears and suspicions were warranted. She can now fully close this chapter and move on.”

Despite their relationship, Deborra-Lee and Lively reportedly had a falling out because of their different personalities, according to reports by a source to Woman's Day.

“Truth be told, it was always difficult for Deb to bond with Blake because they’re so different, but she felt they got on just fine”

After a year of speculation, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have decided to make their relationship public.

“They both wanted to be considerate of their exes and anyone else that might be upset, but they aren't interested in hiding,” according to sources.

In October 2023, Sutton also divorced her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin. After 10 years of marriage, the couple share a daughter named Emily, who is 7 years old. According to sources, Deborra-Lee has been keeping a very private life since Jackman and Foster went public.

Jackman and Deborra-Lee's separation marks the end of their three-decade-long marriage. The pair, in a joint statement, said:

“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

Deborra has been keeping herself busy by dedicating all her time to self-care. She's been taking care of herself since the divorce by doing yoga, detoxifying and spending time with her children and friends spread around New York, Bedford, and the Hamptons.

An insider mentioned that:

"She intends to look gorgeous the next time she’s spotted, even partly just to show Hugh what he’s missing."

Both Jackman and Deborra are starting new chapters in life, with Jackman and Foster starting a romance while Deborra is focused on healing and embracing a new chapter in life.
