Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have decided to call it quits after 27 years of marriage in September last year. While the former couple used to stay out of the limelight in particular, their divorce was still a major shock for fans. Despite the duo ending their long-term marriage on good terms, the former reportedly paid a staggering sum in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement.

Since the duo have known each other for quite a long time, they are bound to know each other’s secrets which is reportedly why the contract has been crafted in the first place.

However, theLoganstar was not much concerned about the finances as a source told The National Enquirer viaRadar Online,
“This move is less about the financial aspect and more about retaining control. Hugh’s concern has never been money, but rather control.”

The insider added,
“He’s a man with lots of secrets and doesn’t want any of them exposed.”

The source even added that the latter would not have to worry about working if she agreed to sign the NDA.
“Let’s just say Deb will not need to worry about getting a job. She’ll have enough money for the rest of her life — if she signs an airtight nondisclosure agreement.”

Even though their split was not“a divorce on paper,”they were exhausted while trying to keep working on their relationship. Looking back, the actress has unraveled startling confessions in a few years that heavily tarnished the latter’s image. She also admitted having an“entanglement”with August Alsina when they were separated at the time.
Last year,the couple’s eldest child, Jaden Smith admitted using psychedelic drugs adding that his mother introduced it in the family. He told at the Psychedelic Science conference viaUSA Today,

“I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family. It was just her for a really, really long time and then eventually it just trickled and evolved and everybody found it in their own ways.”
And this is not the end as the actress has already dived into intricate details about her marriage with theKing Richardactor inWorthymemoir. Since, their relationship is already covered in the memoir, having some sort of an NDA which Jackman reportedly crafted to prevent facing a similar scenario is surely a better option.
