Hugh Jackman in High Spirits Amid Divorce Thanks to Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds
Hugh Jackman is prioritizing his friends during his separation from wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
On Sunday, Oct. 1, the X-Men star stepped out for an evening of fun in New Jersey, joining Taylor Swift, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively for the Kansas City Chiefs game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. And, from the looks of Jackman's Instagram Stories, the Australian actor, 54, had a great time cheering on Swift's current love interest, Travis Kelce.
Specifically, Jackman beamed in not one, but two photos from the football game. In one selfie, which Jackman dubbed "one of my best selfies ever," the movie star smiled as he posed with Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy and Reynolds, who plays the foul-mouthed superhero in the blockbuster films.
In another star-studded selfie, Jackman smiled wide as he posed with Reynolds, Lively and Swift, whose aforementioned boyfriend won big on Sunday evening.

This happy outing comes less than a month after Jackman and Furness announced they were splitting after 27 years of marriage. In a statement issued back in September, the longtime couple expressed, "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."
The update continued, "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."
The former flames, who share kids Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18, noted at the time that this would be "the sole statement" regarding the matter.
In the aftermath of the breakup, Jackman has been surrounding himself with friends and nature, proving that he's powering through this time.
