Deborra-Lee Furness Embraces 'Man-Free Zone' Post-Split

Following her separation from Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness is embracing a period of self-discovery, labeling it her 'man-free zone.' The 69-year-old Australian actress is currently prioritizing her close-knit circle of female friends, finding joy and stability within these relationships. She has been seen enjoying various social outings in New York City, stepping out at events and spending time with artistic collaborators and friends.

Sources indicate that Furness views this time as a 'year of evolution,' focusing on rebuilding after the reportedly 'traumatic' end to her 27-year marriage in 2023. Despite receiving offers to date, she has expressed no current interest, choosing instead to heal and rediscover her independence. Her friends are supportive, noting she is not jaded by men but is taking time for herself.

Furness and Jackman, who met in 1995, announced their separation in September 2023, stating they were pursuing individual growth. While Jackman has reportedly moved on socially, Furness is content focusing on her friendships and personal journey, with insiders suggesting she will be open to dating again once the divorce process is fully settled.
