Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, was caught on a single trip in New York City just three days before the couple told the public about their decision to split up.

Deborra was seen without her wedding ring, but it’s not clear if this is something new or something she’s always done.

Their fans were shocked by the news of their breakup, which was revealed by the Daily Mail on Wednesday.

Hugh Jackman, 54, and Deborra-Lee Furness, also 54, have been together for almost 30 years. On Friday, they gave a joint statement to PEOPLE.

They were thankful for the nearly 30 years they had spent as a loving husband and wife and talked about how beautiful their journey had been.

But they said that their paths were now going in different directions because they were each trying to grow and change.

In their statement, they stressed that their family was and always would be their top concern.

They began this new part of their lives with hearts full of thanks, love, and kindness.

They also made a sincere request for people to understand and give them space during this time of change.
