Deborra-Lee Furness is embracing a new chapter in her life following her highly publicized split from Hugh Jackman. At 67, the actress and producer is shifting her focus toward herself and her career.

In her first interview since viral photos of Hugh and Broadway star Sutton Foster sharing a kiss made headlines, Deborra-Lee spoke with the *Herald Sun* about her fresh start.

Calling this her “chapter three,” she shared, “I’m a creative person, and I love exploring creativity in various forms. I’ll also be doing more traveling.”

With film offers coming her way, she’s eager to dive into new projects and passions. “I’ve been reading scripts to find something great,” she revealed.

Alongside her professional endeavors, she’s prioritizing self-care, saying, “I’ll be taking more time for myself.”

The couple, married for 27 years, announced their separation in September 2023. They share two children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, and expressed gratitude for their shared years while remaining committed to family.

Meanwhile, speculation has swirled about Hugh’s relationship with Sutton Foster, his *Music Man* co-star.

The pair, who performed together on Broadway until January 2023, confirmed their romance through public appearances, with viral photos of their kiss fueling interest in their connection.
