Speaker 2 (00:06):
Now if you've been watching the entertainment stories across the holidays,
one of the big ones was about Hugh Jackman and
he revealed his new lover, Sutton Forest. Now. They've appeared
together in Broadway in a show called The Music Man,
and there were rumblings that something was going on with
him when he and his wife of twenty seven years,
Debrale Faness, broke up and then announced that they were

(00:28):
choosing to live separate lives, and people thought that this
would be a really quick divorce, they'd move on, sort
out their assets and get on with their lives. However,
it's recently come to light that they don't have a
prenup agreement and part of the reason why is that
Deborah Lee. When they got together, Hugh was straight out
of drama school and she was the one who had

(00:50):
the celebrity in Australia. She was the one which she
was an actress's TV, wasn't she Yeah, yeah, she was
making the cash. They got married after like four months together,
like it was super super quick and at the time
they said they'll be together forever, don't we all? Seven
years later, yes, the same but in that time she

(01:11):
decided to kind of step away. They adopted two children,
Oscar who's now twenty four and Ava, who's nineteen, and
she sort of they moved to America. He of course
got Wolverine, and their world changed. Two hundred and fifty
million dollars is what his assets are, right, and that is.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
What is potentially their asset.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Okay, well done, he's made the money. Yes, they've been married,
married without a prenup. Who gets the cash?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
You're married and which it's a partnership. You do things together,
everything's together, and that's that's my that's me. Like, you
can't say that you got where you were on your
own when you're married. Like, who's to say she didn't
help him at all? You can't say that. He can't
go out there and say that she's not deserving any

(02:05):
of it.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
No, well, I don't think any of it. I don't
think they're saying that. But how does she deserve half
if he's the wolverine, he's the one.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Because you're married, when you when you when you get married,
like that's but he's the one that hasn't sharing together,
hasn't eaten carbs for the last twenty years because he's
got to stay ripped.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
He's like she had on the deal with work out
the whole time. Amen, I'm just I'm loving this. Sorry, Corey,
keep speaking. I mean absolutely, you think she deserves one
hundred and twenty five million dollars because you know that's
just per chance that she's with him. He's the one
that's no per chance. You have no idea what's happened

(02:42):
behind the scenes, whether she's the one that said you
should have this script. Yeah, you can't believe that he
should take more. Yeah, because he earned so much more,
But he couldn't have earned it unless you know, taking
care of that of their lives. What was happening in

(03:02):
her career? You think she was going to be making
Hollywood films, It doesn't matter. She was supporting him to
create the roles that he created by being we assume
we don't know, Well, how do we know how much
support she gave him. She might have given him no support.
That might be why he left her. Keep seven years.
She left Australia, where she was a massive star in

(03:22):
her own right. She was finishing her career, was nearly
done when they got together.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
It was not did he shet her money.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, did he can pay her back?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
That just thirty grand I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Okay, so how much do you think she should get
out of the out of how much is that?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
How much?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And fifty million? Swing of fifty mili. That's fine, that's.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Not fair, that's more than enough.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Why what?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
How?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
How in what world would she have ever made fifty
million dollars? It's not about that. You can't if you
are in a partnership, like Corey says, could you have
done your career without Tigan?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, Well Tagan deserves all of his money, obviously, Obviously
