Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness enjoys rare public outing… as actor sparks concern with bandaged face

by

Deborra-Lee Furness, who is divorced from Hugh Jackman, was seen out in public in New York City on Wednesday. It was a rare appearance for her.

The 69-year-old Australian actress was seen taking a walk in comfortable clothes – a long-sleeved black shirt and sweatpants.

The actress was seen with a new male companion and kept her look casual. She paired a red beanie with her short blonde hair and wore comfortable sneakers.

Her outfit was finalized with a red hoodie tied around her waist, and a black fanny pack.

Her former partner, age 56, worried fans when he was seen with a bandage close to his left eye at the John Candy: I Like Me event on Wednesday. He attended the event at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn with Ryan Reynolds.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Jackman’s representatives for comment.

Reynolds created the documentary *John Candy: I Like Me*, a film that delves into the life and work of the beloved Canadian comedian and actor.

Jackman appeared at Wednesday’s screening, wearing a white t-shirt, a blue jacket and dark pants.

Fans noticed a bandage on his face, but it’s still not known why he was wearing it.

In 2023, Hugh shared on Instagram that he was getting a biopsy to check for basal cell carcinoma, a common and usually treatable type of skin cancer. He posted a photo showing a bandage on his nose.

Hugh shared with his followers that he recently underwent two biopsies. His doctor noticed a couple of potentially cancerous spots that might be basal cell carcinoma.

I was so relieved to hear that after having the spots removed, Hugh got a clean bill of health! It’s fantastic to know he’s really committed to protecting himself from the sun going forward – it gives me such peace of mind.

Recently, Deborra-Lee was seen out and about, and reports suggest she’s starting to date again after her divorce from Hugh was finalized in June.

The celebrity is said to be considering proposals from people interested in a relationship, but she’s waiting to find someone who truly impresses her.

According to a source at Woman’s Day, Deb is making progress in her recovery and beginning to discuss her future goals.

She has a fantastic group of friends and family who have been with her through everything, helping her rebuild her life. They’re also encouraging her to start dating again.

They also mentioned that Furness had received proposals from several impressive people, but she’s waiting to find someone she truly connects with.

‘She knows what she brings to the table,’ the insider added.

Furness and Jackman officially ended their marriage just a month after starting the divorce process. The divorce was finalized on June 12th, but the details weren’t released to the public until June 23rd.

I’ve been following the news about Hugh Jackman’s split, and it’s just been confirmed that Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife and mother to their two adopted children, has received a spousal support payment. A source told the Daily Mail about it, and it seems things are moving forward with the legal side of their separation.

Furness has reached a settlement and is satisfied with the outcome, which includes a significant alimony payment, according to sources.

Negotiating the financial agreement took some time, but ultimately, she received a settlement she felt was fair. Fortunately, both parties are now in a good financial position.

‘There is not going to be any drama with this – it gives closure that she needed.’

In May, the Daily Mail was the first to report that Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.

After the news of their divorce became public, Furness surprised many by releasing a statement describing her difficult experience as a ‘betrayal’.

Hugh Jackman has been seeing Sutton Foster, his co-star from The Music Man, for several months, though it’s unclear exactly when their relationship began.

I honestly don’t care what anyone says about them! They’re completely shutting out all the negativity, especially that ridiculous talk about how things *started*. It’s just so unfair! They’re clearly serious and ready to build a future together, and that’s all that matters. I’m so happy for them and can’t wait to see where this goes!

According to a source, Jackman’s ex-wife believes he had an emotional affair, even though he wasn’t physically unfaithful. She reportedly feels betrayed by his actions.

Despite their demanding schedules with theater and acting, Hugh and Sutton recently took time to visit a university, marking a rare public outing for the pair.

Hailee Steinfeld shared on Instagram that she and Hugh Jackman enjoyed collaborating with students at Ball State University last week, adding the hashtag ‘#chirpchirp’.

I’m so excited to share that Sutton will be teaching in the musical theatre department at Ball State this fall! It’s happening right in Muncie, Indiana, and I can’t wait to see what amazing things the students will learn.

Fans on social media have reported seeing Hugh on campus several times in recent weeks.

The Australian actor wants his girlfriend to join him at the Hollywood premiere of his new film, Song Sung Blue, which will take place at AFI Fest on October 26th.

‘It’s a big moment for him, and he wants to share it with the woman he loves,’ a source claimed.

It’s currently unclear whether Hugh Jackman will attend his wife Deborra-Lee Furness’s Christmas show in New York City. She’ll be performing ‘Christmas at The Carlyle’ at Cafe Carlyle, beginning in late November.
