Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness shocked fans last month when they announce they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage. However, the estranged couple appear to have given fans a glimmer of hope for a reconciliation, as Hugh and Deborra were spotted enjoying dinner on his 55th birthday.
Sharing with his 31 million followers on Instagram, Hugh shared a photo of him and loved ones enjoying dinner at The Polo Bar in New York City on Thursday, October 12. “Thank you ALL for the birthday love!!! I’m reading your messages, seeing the special videos and experiencing all the feels,” he wrote in the caption.

Hugh's Representative Confirmed His Estranged Wife Attended His Birthday Dinner
The post was only accompanied by a post of Hugh himself, holding up a drink to cheers to the camera. It wasn't clear who was in attendance at the dinner. But interestingly, a spokesperson for the actor wasted no time confirming the speculation that Deborra was, indeed, there for her estranged husband's special night.
Hugh’s representative confirmed to Us Weekly that Deborra was in attendance at the birthday dinner, but he didn’t give any information as to the pair’s relationship status, or lack thereof. Similarly, a source told Page Six that it was a nice and undramatic evening. “Very happy time [had] by all. Think it was good birthday,” the source said, without revealing whether Deborra’s attendance was romantic or platonic.
Hugh and Deborra released a joint statement last month via social media confirming their intentions to divorce. "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” it read. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

Deborra-Lee Furness nearly ruined Hugh Jackman's career with one piece of advice. Fortunately, he didn't listen.

Hugh And Deborra Want To Split Their Fortune Equally As They move Ahead With Divorce
Hugh and Deborra married in 1996 in Australia after meeting on the set of the show Correlli. Following fertility struggles, including two miscarriages, the pair went on to adopt two children, a son and a daughter.
With a reported joint fortune of $180 million, the estranged couple reportedly have no prenup, but they’re seemingly dedicated to splitting their wealth equally.
“Hugh accepts, deep down, that Debs will want a huge chunk of his fortune and that’s her right as his spouse,” one insider said of how Hugh is handling the split. “It’s one thing to promise to be friendly but once the lawyers get involved, it becomes a very cold-hearted situation that revolves around money.”
Hugh and Deborra have a number of luxury properties between them, which they’ll have to divide to settle the divorce, should they move forward with it. This includes a $56 million triplex as well as a $30 million penthouse, both located in New York.
While Deborra’s appearance at Hugh’s birthday dinner could be a sign of reconciliation, it could also signal the two are merely amicable exes. One report from last month said their split didn’t take loved ones by surprise, as the pair have been living more like “roommates” than lovers for years. For now, it appears their divorce remains ongoing.
