Some of the stress has gone down since they settled their legal issues, and their recent meetings in New York have shown that things are getting better between them, as per a report by Globe.

People who know her well say that finally letting go of her anger is helping not only her but also her family.

“Debs has every right to be angry with Hugh, no one is arguing that,” according to a source, Hugh's infidelity accusations caused the nearly 27-year marriage to fall apart.

“But it’s also very unhealthy for her and their kids, so of course everyone in her life is thrilled to see her make this effort to forgive Hugh.”

“It’s hard to imagine they will ever be close friends again. But if they can at least get to a point where they can celebrate family milestones together without tension, that will mean a whole lot for their kids.” “Debs is an incredibly devoted mom — so no doubt her kids are the main motivation for these peace talks, the insider stated.



What happens to their kids?


Oscar, 25, and Ava, 20, are the couple's adopted children, and they are still at the center of the reconciliation. Both parents love them, but they have been stuck in the middle of fights for years. The strained relationship has put their loyalties to the test, especially since Jackman now lives in New York with Broadway star Sutton Foster and Furness has stayed in Australia.


Family members say that the kids' unhappiness has been a big reason why both parents are trying to make things right. People say Furness is a devoted mother and that her main goal is their health and happiness.


Will they ever be able to be friends again?


People around them say the goal is not to become close friends again, but to come to a civil understanding. It would be a big step forward for everyone, especially their kids, if they could get together for family events without fighting.


The journey has been long and hard for Jackman and Furness, but recent events give them hope. Their story shows how hard it is to get over anger after a long marriage, but it also shows how strong it is to put family first.
