Jackman and Furness' statement, released more than one year ago, read: "We have been blessed to share almost 3 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."

"Our family has been and always will be our highest priority," the former flames — who tied the knot in 1996 — promised of their two kids, Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18. "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 in all of our lives."

As OK! previously reported, Furness is not too pleased with Jackman's new romance making headlines so soon after their split.

"She is seething with rage over being the last to know," a source told RadarOnline.com of Furness in December 2024. "Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it!"

The Force of Nature: The Dry 2 actress wasn't only left angry with Jackman, but his good friends Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, too, as she's upset they kept "quiet" about The Greatest Showman actor and Foster's budding romance.

"They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh," the insider explained. "[But], Deb feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut."

People obtained photos of Foster and Jackman holding hands before dinner in L.A.
