Hugh Jackman is said to have retained his $21 million New York apartment amid his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.
The actor, 56, split from Deborra, 69, in 2023 and they have been in negotiations on how best to divide their $387 million fortune – which includes a sprawling international property empire.
Yet last week sources close to the pair claimed that the lengthy negotiation period was over and now all that was required is a judge’s sign-off.
As part of the alleged deal, Hugh is said to have kept hold of their minimalist penthouse apartment in New York City’s Chelsea district, which he and Deborra purchased for $21.1 million in August 2022.
Since his estranged wife moved out, it’s believed the X-Men star’s new girlfriend, Broadway actress Sutton Foster, has been slowly moving her things in.

The 440sqm apartment is located in the penthouse of a quirky glᴀss front building, designed by award-winning French architect Jean Nouvel, which boasts 57 units across 23 floors.
The property features a light and airy open layout with four bedrooms centred around the communal living areas.

Other desirable features in the property include two fireplaces, a large master suite with numerous closets and a pristine all-white bathroom.
Deborra and Hugh also own several luxury properties across the United States, England and Australia.
Before they snapped up their Chelsea building, it was owned by Daniel Fischel, president of the global economic consulting company Compᴀss Lexecon.
While the property is undeniably impressive, it was a downsize for the estranged couple, who bought the apartment after moving out of a triplex in West Village.
The 11,000-square-foot property was put on the market for a whopping $38.9 million.

Last month, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Deborra officially filed for divorce in New York on May 23, two years after they announced their separation.
As per the filings, it was revealed everything had been ironed out behind the scenes.
Other filings submitted by her lawyer included a notice concerning continuation of health care coverage, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form (used to report child support orders to the state’s registry), the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and certificate of dissolution.
All that needs to be done now is for the judge to sign off on the judgment.
Deborra, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a ‘handsome spousal support payment,’ according to an insider, who said there will be no ‘drama’ as they terminate their 27-year marriage.
‘A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with which includes a handsome spousal support payment,’ a source told DailyMail.com.
‘There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.
‘There is not going to be any drama with this gives closure that she needed.’

A separate source said the divorce is ‘non contested,’ meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing.
‘They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,’ they said.
‘They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.’
They added that Hugh, who is dating Broadway star Sutton and was seen walking hand-in-hand with her days before the filing, is ‘looking forward to the future and not looking back.’
In a statement sent to DailyMail.com, Deborra said, ‘My heart and compᴀssion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal.
‘It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.’
Back in January, DailyMail.com exclusively reported that the estranged spouses had yet to file as their decision to dismiss a prenup was proving to be a point of contention.
Insiders at the time claimed that their split could get ‘messy’ as they were struggling to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune.

‘One of the biggest reasons why they haven’t yet filed is that they never had a prenup,’ an insider close to Hugh said.
‘When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn’t? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh’s career to get as enormous as it has.’
The pair met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school.
They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19.
Since tying the knot, Hugh has amᴀssed an eye watering fortune, estimated to be hundreds of millions, thanks to his turn as Wolverine in Marvel’s blockbuster comic book franchise.
