Fresh speculation surrounding thebreakdown of Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furnesshas intensified after reports claimed Nicole Kidman deliberately avoided Jackman during the 2026 Met Gala.
According to an insider quoted byStyleCaster, Kidman distanced herself from Jackman at the high-profile event because she remains loyal to Furness following the couple's highly publicised separation.
The source reportedly claimed Kidman is 'firmly Team Deb,' suggesting tensions remain within Hollywood and the Australian celebrity circles over the end of Jackman and Furness' nearly three-decade marriage. Neither Kidman nor Jackman has publicly addressed the claims.
Kidman and Jackman have long been viewed as part of the same close-knit Australian entertainment network, frequently appearing together at industry events and publicly praising one another over the years.
However, according toStyleCaster, Kidman intentionally kept her distance during interactions at the Met Gala, avoiding extended engagement with Jackman during the evening's celebrations.
The report claimsKidman's loyalty lies with Furness, who has remained a respected figure within Australian film and entertainment circles since news of the split emerged.
Jackman and Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, describing the decision at the time as a mutual step toward 'individual growth'.
The Met Gala has once again become a hotspot for celebrity speculation, with fans and entertainment outlets closely analysing interactions between high-profile attendees.
Social media users quickly picked up on claims that Kidman and Jackman were not photographed together during the evening, fuelling rumours of tension behind the scenes.
Neither celebrity appeared publicly confrontational, and there is no verified evidence of an argument or direct dispute. However, the insiders cited byStyleCastersuggested the avoidance was deliberate rather than coincidental.
