The Australian actress shares her feelings of compassion and wisdom amid the split after 27 years of marriage.
The couple's separation was announced in September 2023, marking the end of their 27-year marriage, which began when they met on the Australian TV show "Corelli" in 1995. Furness, 69, recently addressed her feelings in a public statement, acknowledging the deep pain of betrayal but maintaining faith in a higher power. She conveyed compassion toward others who have endured similar experiences and reflected on gaining "knowledge and wisdom" from the challenges faced in her marriage to Jackman, 56.
In her statement, Furness emphasized the importance of rediscovering one’s true essence and the liberation that comes from self-love. She described the process of navigating difficult circumstances as necessary for personal growth. After announcing their decision to separate, the couple issued a joint statement, indicating that they would strive to adapt to this new chapter with gratitude and kindness.
Despite the tumultuous feelings expressed by Furness, Jackman has refrained from making direct comments on the situation. He recently shared a lighthearted video on social media, potentially signaling his focus on moving forward. The couple, who adopted two children during their marriage, first captured public attention when they wed shortly after their initial meeting, representing a beloved pairing in the entertainment industry for nearly three decades.
