Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness may be divorced, but one major piece of their shared life is still causing problems. Their longtime New York property has reportedly become a serious headache, and now the stalled sale is said to be stirring up fresh tension between the former couple just when things seemed to be settling down.
The luxury home has been sitting on the market for months, and reports say the money involved is making everything more strained. With Hugh already moving forward publicly with Sutton Foster, this latest property mess is adding another layer of drama to an already complicated post-divorce chapter.

New York Home Sale Turns Into A Fresh Flashpoint
Jackman and Furness were married for 27 years before announcing their split in 2023, saying they were choosing to go their separate ways “to pursue our individual growth.” But while the marriage is over, their real estate situation is still hanging over both of them.
Their New York apartment, once listed at $38.9 million in 2022, has reportedly now dropped to $29.9 million. That is a huge cut, and according to insiders, getting there was not easy.
“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,” a source said. The insider added that lowering the price involved “a huge amount of back and forth because they couldn’t agree on how much to go down.”
That is where things appear to be getting messy again. The property is not just expensive. It is now a source of blame, frustration, and what sounds like a lot of reopened resentment.
Reports Say Old Tensions Are Heating Up Again
According to one insider, the lack of a buyer is pushing both sides into uncomfortable territory. “There’s a lot of finger-pointing over who pushed to buy it in the first place and who is responsible for the mess they’re in now,” the source claimed.
The same person said, “When they 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.”
That is the part getting attention. Not just the price drop, but the idea that this unresolved sale could drag them back into legal fights. One source even said the issue may end up being settled through lawyers if they cannot agree on what happens next.
Sutton Foster Wedding Talk May Be Hitting A Wall
At the same time, Jackman’s future with Sutton Foster is also getting fresh scrutiny. Reports have claimed the pair are already discussing marriage, with a small New York wedding and a Europe honeymoon reportedly on the table.
But there may be one major complication. Jackman’s children, Oscar and Ava, are said to remain deeply loyal to their mother, and that could be making the wedding conversation more delicate than expected.
“Even though Hugh is excited to start this next chapter with Sutton, he has to be sensitive to his kids,” one source said. “Hugh really wants his kids at the wedding.”
Foster has also reportedly become a strong presence in Jackman’s health routines following past skin cancer scares. A source said she is focused on prevention and “doesn’t leave anything to chance” when it comes to his well-being.
So while the romance with Foster may be moving ahead, the reality is less tidy. Between the stalled property sale, renewed friction with Furness, and family concerns around a possible wedding, Jackman’s next chapter may not be nearly as smooth as it looks.
