Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ shock clue that marriage was over

Deborra-Lee Furness gave the first hint her marriage to Hugh Jackman was in trouble at the start of the year when she quietly offloaded their dream home.

Furness, 67, made the surprise move unnoticed when she put the couple’s Hamptons mansion up for rent in January for a staggering $260,000 per month.

The actress had previously described the prized 7300 square ft property as a labour of love and a dream home for her, Jackman and their two kids, Oscar Maximilian Jackman, 23, and 18-year-old Ava Eliot.

Six years in the making, she had only just put the finishing touches on the $5.4 million mansion two years before.

The couple’s sprawling Gardiner Bay residence on the exclusive New York island has a home cinema to watch the Wolverine actor’s movies, along with an infinity swimming pool, gym and five bedrooms and five and half bathrooms, including a water-view marble ensuite.

On completing the couple’s dream home, Furness told the Architectural Digest: “This was my lifelong dream. It’s like, bucket list, tick it off. I’ve done it, and I loved it.”

Furness’ major clue emerged after Jackman broke his silence on the shock split after 27 years by telling paparazzi on the streets of New York at the weekend: “It doesn’t feel quite right talking about it on the street but I appreciate your thoughts, man.

“It’s a difficult time.”
