Less than a month after announcing their split, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have had a surprise reunion to celebrate his 55th birthday.
The soon-to-be former couple were spotted together on Thursday evening dining at Ralph Lauren's New York restaurant, The Polo Bar.
A source told Page Six that the pair were joined by their children, 23-year-old Oscar and 18-year-old Ava, and “a few close friends”.
“Very happy time [had] by all,” they added. “Think it was [a] good birthday.”
When approached for comment, Hugh’s rep confirmed the reunion and told the publication: “Yes, it’s true. It was a lovely evening.”
