Hugh Jackman finds solace in the company of friends Ryan Reynolds and Betty Who following his recent divorce.
The actor, known for his role as Wolverine, announced his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness after a 27-year marriage in September.

Recently, the actor also attended a football game between the New York Jets and the Kansas City Chiefs at MetLife Stadium alongside his close friend Ryan Reynolds and Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively. Taylor Swift was also among the company. Jackman's decision to actively engage in social events reflects his commitment to living life to the fullest, despite ongoing divorce proceedings with Deborra-Lee.
Sources close to Jackman revealed that he and Deborra-Lee have been working on their divorce for almost two years and are now prepared to embrace new chapters in their lives. The actor is focused on maintaining his well-being and prioritizing the happiness of his children, Oscar Maximiliam (23) and Ava Eliot (18).
