After ending a 27-year marriage with Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman is ready to rewrite his romantic script. The acclaimed actor, known for his magnetic presence and charm, is now on the lookout for a new type of partner—one with a striking similarity to Amal Clooney. It’s not just about finding someone who shares his interests, but someone who embodies a unique blend of qualities that he feels is crucial at this juncture in his life.

Reminiscence star Hugh Jackman’s clawing his way back into the dating game, but this time around, he’s looking for a new quality in women. Remember his 27-year-long fairytale marriage with Deborra-Lee Furness? Hold on tight, because we’re going to have to leave the Hollywood bubble.
Jackman and Furness announced their split in September 2023. Apparently, the Deadpool & Wolverine actor’s A-list status became a bit of a kryptonite in his marriage. A source spilled the beans to Closer Weekly:
The No. 1 problem Hugh and Deb had during their decades together is that Hugh’s career and his ambitions always became the center of their life together, even when they were doing everything in their power to keep that from being the case.
This time, Jackman’s looking for an equal, someone who doesn’t live and breathe show business. The 55-year-old actor’s heavily inspired by George and Amal Clooney’s marriage. The same source added:
He needs an Amal Clooney type, and he knows it: somebody who doesn’t eat, drink, and breathe show business 24/7 and who actually thinks about the bigger picture the way Hugh does.
That is, someone smart and pretty who can keep up with his charitable work. Per reports, Jackman wants to “branch outside the industry” and find a partner who cares about helping others as much as he does. Jackman and Furness’ split last year hinted at a desire for change. An insider told Daily Mail:
When it comes to his love life, he thinks it’s funny that so many people are wanting to know all about it. He will get there again. It isn’t a priority, but if something materialized, he would make it a priority… but he is healthy and happy and that is something he cherishes right now.
But don’t worry; love’s still on the horizon for Jackman, even if fans are buzzing for him to find his happily ever after. Is there someone like Amal Clooney ready to win Wolverine’s heart? The answer will come in time.

not much point in spending a fortune on a wedding – rather get a water tight antenuptual contract !

If Hugh Jackman pops up with a 24yr old on his arm in a few months I’m gonna be sick

I can't see him being single for long. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he has already met someone. Perhaps not acted on his feelings, but could definitely be there for someone. No doubt younger, inevitably.
