They navigated Hollywood as a married couple for nearly three decades, avoiding the temptations and strains that intense fame can throw up. But Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are not having as much luck handling their break-up. DailyMail.com can reveal the now-estranged couple have yet to file for divorce as their decision to dismiss a prenup is proving to be a point of contention.

Insiders claim their split could get ‘messy’ as they struggle to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune. Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, announced the end of their marriage in a shock statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth'.

Soon followed rumblings that Jackman had struck up a relationship with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster, with the pair finally confirming their romance last week in what fans claimed was a staged picture opportunity as they left a Los Angeles restaurant hand-in-hand.
