A body language expert has revealed the 'secret message' Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, sent him after he confirmed his new relationship with Sutton Foster.

Deborra, 69, and Hugh, 56, were married for 27 years before they split in 2023, saying in a joint statement how their family 'has been and always will be' their 'highest priority'.

"We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage," they said.

The former couple, who first met in 1995 on Australian TV series Corelli, continued: "We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

The statement added: "We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.

"We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."

Since Hugh and Deborra's split, the Wolverine star has seemingly confirmed his new romance with 49-year-old Broadway star, Sutton, following mass speculation the pair were an item.

Since then, Deborra has made one of her first public appearance since Hugh and Sutton's romance was confirmed at the Australian Open.

She rocked up to the Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday (14 January) with her 19-year-old adopted daughter, Ava Jackman, donning a pair of white trousers, tan platform shoes and a groovy purple shirt, which featured a print of a cowboy riding a bucking bull.

Speaking on behalf of Spin Genie, body language expert, Darren Stanton has weighed in on her recent appearance, telling Tyla she was 'putting out' a very specific message to the world.

He told Tyla: "Deborra is showing supreme confidence, it’s the beginnings of a steeple gesture.

"People who are very self-assured and want to put this message out to the world. Here, we see the fingertips and hands pushed together, which conveys this sense of confidence."

According to the body language expert, Deborra adopted a 'very open gesture', adding: "Her arms aren’t folded, her shoulders are down.

"Also, when people are feeling guarded, they generally cover their torso or abdomen, it’s a psychological thing as most of our organs are around these areas. She isn’t doing this at all."

Instead, Darren explains, Deborra is 'putting out a message to the world of strength, confidence, and she’s not hiding away'.

"She’s not afraid to interact with others as we see in the photos and is giving a direct signal that she is moving on with her life," he added.
