Let me tell you something interesting. Hugh Jackman, the Hollywood heartthrob and Tony Award-winning actor, is ready to dive into a new chapter of his life. Following his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness, his estranged wife, a source close to the situation exclusively reveals to Closer that Hugh is ready to remarry. But this time, Hugh's looking for someone who’s not just another Hollywood starlet. He’s aiming for someone more impactful, someone like Amal Clooney, who uses her platform to make a difference in the world.
Hugh's Vision for the Future
Hugh Jackman, at the age of 55, is dreaming big. He’s envisioning a partnership with someone who’s not just content with the glitz and glam of Hollywood but is instead focused on meaningful change. The source reveals that Hugh is searching for a partner who aligns with his values and aspirations, someone who can help him channel his success into something bigger than himself. This isn't just about finding love; it's about finding a partner who shares his vision for a better world.
The Challenges of Their Past Relationship
Let’s rewind a bit. The main challenge Hugh and Deborra-Lee faced during their decades-long marriage was the overwhelming influence of Hugh’s career. Even though they tried their best to keep their personal lives separate from his professional ambitions, it was almost impossible. “The No. 1 problem Hugh and Deb had during their decades together is that Hugh’s career and his ambitions always became the center of their life together,” explains a long-time Hollywood friend. The life they led in the spotlight was unavoidable, especially given Hugh’s incredible success and relentless work ethic.

It wasn’t just about the fame. Hugh’s dedication to his craft and his relentless drive to excel in everything he did made it difficult to maintain a balance. Despite their best efforts, their personal lives were constantly overshadowed by Hugh's burgeoning career. This dynamic eventually became unsustainable, leading to their decision to part ways after nearly 27 years of marriage.

Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s story began on the set of the Australian TV show Correlli in 1995, long before Hugh became an international sensation. They married quickly after less than a year of dating in 1996 and went on to adopt two children: son Oscar in 2000 and daughter Ava in 2005. But after nearly three decades together, they announced their separation in September 2023, citing a need for individual growth while keeping their family as their top priority.
What Hugh is Looking For
Hugh is now looking for someone more aligned with his values—someone who shares his passion for making a difference in the world. A source close to Hugh reveals that he’s seeking a partner akin to Amal Clooney, a lawyer and human rights activist who has made a name for herself outside the confines of Hollywood. “He needs an Amal Clooney type, and he knows it: somebody who doesn’t eat, drink, and breathe showbusiness 24/7 and who actually thinks about the bigger picture the way Hugh does,” the source explains.
Hugh personally isn’t driven by fame or fortune. He’s deeply committed to charitable work, often raising funds for causes like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. He’d be content if all the stardom disappeared tomorrow, provided he could continue making a difference. What Hugh truly desires is a partner who can help him leverage his platform and resources to enact positive change globally.
While Hugh has been busy preparing for the release of his next Marvel film, Deadpool & Wolverine, scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on July 26, the search for a new partner is now underway. “The hunt is finally on for somebody new,” the source reveals. Hugh is determined to step outside the entertainment bubble and find someone who shares his vision for a better world.
“Hugh is committed to branching outside of his entertainment industry bubble to find somebody he can spend the rest of his life with and who can help him put his massive fortune to good use around the world,” the insider adds. This new chapter isn’t just about finding love; it’s about finding a partner who can help Hugh continue to make a difference in the world.
