MW Hugh Jackman lists NYC penthouse for $39 million amid divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness

Actor Hugh Jackman has put his sprawling New York City penthouse on the market for $38.9 million-just days after agreeing to split the money from the property with his former spouse, Deborra-Lee Furness, amid their ongoing divorce.

Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, originally snapped up the dwelling in 2008 for a cool $21 million but in recent years have been renting out the opulent unit-which was last on the market for $125,000 a month.

However, in September 2023, the former couple announced that their marriage was over after "almost three decades together as husband and wife," with Furness officially filing for divorce in May 2025.

In legal documents seen by People, Furness' lawyers indicated that the terms of her divorce from Jackman-who has since moved on with actress Sutton Foster-were not going to be contested and that the paperwork simply required a judge's sign-off in order to be made official.

Then, on June 5, it was revealed that steps had been taken to divide up the couple's shared assets, with The Real Deal reporting that the couple had filed paperwork to split an extravagant penthouse apartment that the duo shares in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.

While that dwelling has yet to be listed, Jackman and Furness are moving ahead with the sale of one of their other New York City properties, a stunning five-bedroom penthouse located in the West Village.

The extraordinary abode is spread across three floors and boasts 11,000 square feet of living space, including a "dramatic double-height great room with walls of windows," a private workout studio, a luxurious sauna, and a library.

Designed by acclaimed architect Richard Meier, the property is described in its listing as a "modernist masterpiece" that boasts a wealth of amenities, including dazzling views across the Hudson River.

Jackman and Furness have previously tried to offload the property-listing it in 2022 for the exact same price that it has now been put on the market for.

However, back in 2022, they hit pause on their plans to sell, instead putting it on the rental market in 2023.

It is unclear whether Jackman and Furness plan to split the money from the sale of this apartment, which was not mentioned in the court filing that confirmed their decision to split their other New York abode.

The listed apartment is currently still registered to an LLC through which the couple bought both units; however, the Chelsea abode has since been transferred to a different shell company with ties to Furness, according to The Real Deal.

Realtor.com$(R)$ has contacted Jackman's spokesperson for comment.

Interestingly, the property's listing comes just days after Australian publication New Idea reported that Foster and Jackman had moved into one of his New York City penthouses together, with an anonymous insider claiming to the publication that Furness was upset that another woman was making herself at home in the dwelling that she had "poured her soul into."

It's unclear which of the former couple's penthouses Jackman is currently living in-however, he has spent the past six months based in Manhattan while doing a series of live shows at iconic New York venue Radio City Music Hall.

Though Furness has not publicly commented on her former husband's romance with Foster, she hinted at the "betrayal" she felt after their split, issuing an emotional statement to the Daily Mail after filing for divorce.

"My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us," she said.

"This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.

"It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom."

In addition to their New York City properties, Jackman and Furness also own a 2.5-acre estate in East Hampton, NY, which they picked up for $3.5 million in 2015-before spending six years renovating it into their perfect weekend escape.

Situated by the water, the property boasts three bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a guesthouse with a bedroom and two bathrooms.

It measures 7,300 square feet and features floor-to-ceiling glass doors and a stunning swimming pool.

A year after purchasing their East Hampton home, the couple splashed out $5.9 million on a property in Australia. It is believed that Jackman will take over the three-bed, two-bath, six-balcony home following their divorce.
