Romantic separations, especially in Hollywood, can leave even the most resilient ones grappling with grief. While we’re used to seeing our favorite celebrities as our heroes, their flawed, human lives continue parallelly. Hugh Jackman‘s divorce with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness is one such unconventional happening that has taken a toll on both Jackman and Furness.
Speaking about it, Deborra-Lee Furness recently opened up about how challenging it has been for her to adapt to change after her unexpected separation from longtime partner Hugh Jackman.

Speaking at the premiere of her latest film, ‘Force of Nature: The Dry 2‘, Furness spoke about her transition. “You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it but I think it is probably our greatest gift,” she said.
Furness notably wasn’t wearing her wedding ring for the premiere. The freshly divorced actress said working on the movie had kept her busy. “There were so many appealing factors for me, a great script by Jane Harper and directed by Robert Connolly,” she said of the movie.
“I love Eric and coming home to Australia to shoot in the wilds,” she said.
The couple had a nearly three-decade-long marriage before they announced their separation in September.
