Hugh Jackman has been facing a $28million battle with ex Deborra-Lee Furness amid fallout from their split.

Exes Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are clashing over selling their Manhattan money pit – and the strain could trigger an ugly new war, insiders told RadarOnline.com.
The price tag on their palatial former home – a sprawling three-story spread in a ritzy high-rise – has been cut from $38.9 million in 2022 to $28.7 million, but no one's biting.
Hugh's Nightmare
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are allegedly clashing over how much to cut the price of their unsold Manhattan apartment.
"Selling this place was supposed to be straightforward, but it's turned into a nightmare because there's so much money on the line and they're having no luck unloading it," shared an insider.
"They've already slashed the price, which took a huge amount of back and forth because they just can't agree on how much to go down.
"Now there's a lot of finger-pointing over who pushed to buy it in the first place and who's responsible for the mess they're in."
The Wolverine hunk, 57, and Furness, 70, splashed out $21.1 million for the luxurious five-bedroom, six-bathroom property in 2008.
Luxury Home, Family Drama Behind Scenes
The former couple's New York property, bought for $21.1 million, has dropped to $28.7 million with no buyers.
It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of the Big Apple skyline, a magnificent master suite and a professional gourmet kitchen.
The pair separated in 2023 after 27 years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in June 2025.
But the couple's adopted kids – Oscar, 25, and Ava, 20 – struggled with the split, especially when Jackman went public with his new honey, Broadway siren Sutton Foster, in January 2025, sources said.

Sources said advisors are urging Jackman to sign a prenup before marrying Sutton Foster.
As readers know, the Greatest Showman star is also clashing with friends and advisors who are urging him to sign a prenup before tying the knot to Younger star Foster, 51.
"When Hugh and Deborra-Lee finalized the divorce, it seemed like they were finally ready to move on from all the anger, but things are starting to get heated again," said a source.
"And selling this property isn't something they can just ignore. There's too much at stake financially. If they can't find a way to agree on what to do next, it's very likely they'll have to fight it out through lawyers. It's a huge mess and every day that goes by without selling they're losing money."
