A recent report claimed that Hugh Jackman is disappointed by the statement that his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, released regarding their divorce.

Furness recently filed for divorce from the actor two years after they announced their separation. In her statement, she reflected on their "breakdown" of her marriage and navigating a "traumatic journey of betrayal."

The Daily Mail claimed in their report that Jackman was blindsided and "extremely disappointed" by the statement that his ex-wife released regarding their divorce.

The source in the report said that "there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press," and Jackman "knows that he cannot change anything."

In a statement released on May 27, Furness reflected on the divorce and the difficult journey that she's been going through.

"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 or the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us," she said.

"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."

Furness concluded, "We are all on our individual journeys, and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves. I remain grateful."

So far, Jackman has not released a statement regarding the divorce nor his reaction to the claims made by The Daily Mail.

What's the Reason Behind Hugh Jackman and Deborah Lee-Furness' Divorce?

In a joint statement that Hugh Jackman and Furness released when they announced their separation, they explained that they "decided to separate to pursue our individual growth" and they "undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness."

"This is the sole statement either of us will make," the ex-couple concluded.

Earlier this year, Jackman and his The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster were spotted holding hands publicly. There have been speculations from fans that it might have a connection to the divorce.

Since the divorce process is still ongoing, the public may likely hear more details on the moments that led to the breakdown of Jackman and Furness' marriage.
