Deborra-Lee Furness will reportedly reveal herself at the Australian Open in her first sighting since her ex Hugh Jackman went public with their new romance.
The Australian producer, 69, was married to Hollywood megastar Hugh, 56, for 27 years before they announced their shock split in September 2023.
Thereafter, Hugh was hit by speculation that he had moved on with American actress Sutton Foster, with the couple finally going public with their romance this week.
Deb has so far remained notably silent about her ex-husband’s new relationship, but she is reportedly planning to come out at the 2025 Australian Open in Melbourne.
He is expected to sit on court with her and Hugh’s two children, Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, as Emirates guests for the women’s tennis final, according to the Herald of the sun.
Deb could also make other appearances in earlier matches during the world-famous tournament at Melbourne Park after it officially begins on Sunday.

After splitting from Deb in 2023, Hugh was hit by speculation that he had moved on with Sutton Foster (both pictured in 2022), and the couple finally went public with their romance this week.
It comes days after it was claimed Deb was “relieved” when she saw pictures of Hugh and Sutton together, with insiders saying she can now finally move on.
“To be honest, Deborra-Lee feels a sense of relief,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘She trusted her intuition and her intuition was right. She finally feels calm after receiving confirmation that her fears and suspicions were justified.
“You can now completely close this chapter and move forward.”
Hugh finally became official with his new girlfriend Sutton on Monday during a date night in Santa Monica, California, more than a year after his split from Deb.
After months of speculation, Hugh and Sutton made things official when they were seen holding hands and looking happier than ever as they strolled through the streets.
Hugh and Sutton previously shared the stage on Broadway when they played the lead roles in an acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man back in 2022.
The friends then bonded over their individual marital struggles, but did not enter into a romance until he “came out of his heartbreak over the end of his relationship.”
Deb (pictured with Hugh in May 2023) has so far remained notably silent about her ex-husband’s new relationship, but is reportedly planning to come out at the 2025 Australian Open.
“Things had been very rudimentary between Deborra-Lee and Hugh after the pandemic,” the source continued.
‘Their relationship was not the same. Hugh had to act on his feelings.
“He had a very special connection with Deborra-Lee, but that’s over now and he has to do what’s right for him.”
Hugh and Sutton are said to have made the decision to finally go public with their romance because they are no longer “interested in hiding their love.”
“Enough time has passed for Hugh to stop playing around and hide his feelings and their relationship,” a source said.
‘They both wanted to be considerate of their exes and anyone else who might be upset, but they’re not interested in hiding.
Hugh was married to Deb for 27 years before they announced their shock separation in September 2023.
“We have been fortunate to share nearly three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful and loving marriage,” the couple said in a joint statement at the time.

‘Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.
‘Our family has been and always will be our top priority. We face this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.
“We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family goes through this transition in all of our lives.”
Meanwhile, Sutton filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year.
She had been married to the 53-year-old screenwriter for 10 years and they share a seven-year-old daughter, Emily.
