Deborra-Lee is reportedly planning to release a no-holds-barred ‘divorce diary’ detailing her painful split from Hugh and the heartbreak that followed.

The Australian actress is currently documenting her emotional roller-coaster journey, with plans to publish the memoir once her divorce from the Wolverine star is legally finalised, according to New Idea.

‘Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,’ an alleged source told the outlet.

‘She’s been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce. As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.’

Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her ‘traumatic journey of betrayal’ in the wake of her divorce filing last month.

‘My heart and compᴀssion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,’ she said.

‘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.’

‘This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.’

She continued: ‘I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.

‘It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.’

She concluded her statement with the ‘one thing’ she has learned, which is ‘that none of this is personal.’

Deb’s emotional declaration signalled a turning point in what had largely been a quiet and dignified separation – until now.

Sources claim that while Deb is remaining composed publicly, behind closed doors she’s preparing to reclaim her narrative with a raw and honest memoir that could shine a spotlight on Jackman’s new romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster.

The New Idea insider added that the actress won’t be holding back: ‘She won’t be silenced. This is her truth.’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Deborra-Lee Furness for comment.

Meanwhile, tensions are said to be rising between Jackman and Foster, 50, as he pushes to integrate his new partner into the family unit he once shared with Deb.

The Aussie actor is reportedly eager for Sutton to form a bond with his and Deborra-Lee’s adopted children – Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19 – but the process hasn’t been smooth.

‘Sutton begged Hugh to stop forcing the situation,’ a source claimed to New Idea, adding that the Broadway star is keen to delay any introductions until the divorce is officially settled.

‘It was Oscar’s birthday recently and Ava’s is coming up in July and Hugh couldn’t see an issue with wanting to include his other half,’ the insider explained. ‘But Sutton’s anxious about rushing things and believes it’s too soon.’

Foster, who also shares an adopted daughter, Emily, 7, with ex-husband Ted Griffin, is said to be treading carefully, especially with the shadow of Deb’s scathing comments still lingering.

If Deborra-Lee’s book plans go ahead, it’s likely to be one of the most anticipated celebrity memoirs in years – and with decades of Hollywood secrets, personal struggles, and a headline-grabbing split to unpack, publishers will no doubt be lining up.

Hugh has yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source told the Daily Mail he had been left ‘extremely disappointed’ by Deborra-Lee’s words as he believed they had an ‘understanding’ they would not publicly trash one another.

‘There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press,’ an insider said.

‘She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt.’
