Just weeks before Jackman and Foster's big Met Gala moment, the Wolverine actor, 57, quietly relisted one of the marital homes he shared with Furness.
While Jackman and Furness finalised their divorce in June 2025, they are still in the process of splitting up their shared assets.
One of those assets is a stunning New York apartment, which was put back on the market on March 31 – just one month before Jackman and Foster walked the Met Gala red carpet.
Originally hitting the market for an eye-watering AUD$57.5million (US$38.9m) in 2022, Hugh slashed the price by AUD$16m.
Located in Manhattan's upscale West Village, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom pad has a new price tag of AUD$41.5m (US$28,750,000).

According to property records, Jackman and Furness, 70, still own the property, which they snapped up in 2008 for US$21.1million (AUD$29.1million).
The former couple later moved into a smaller property in nearby Chelsea.
Covering the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of a 15-storey high-rise, the apartment spans 1,021 square metres and offers stunning views of the Hudson River and the famous Manhattan skyline.
The 10th floor hosts a luxurious main bedroom suite and features a studio, spa bath, sauna and dressing rooms.
Meanwhile, the other two levels of the enormous property feature living spaces, a library, and a guest bedroom.
Other highlights include floor-to-ceiling windows, a recreation room and a professional gourmet kitchen.
Amenities in the sought-after block include a fitness centre, full-time doorman and concierge.

Meanwhile, Jackman and Foster, who made their romance official in January 2025, looked totally smitten as they arrived at the Met Gala, with the couple often caught sharing loving glances during their red carpet stint
Jackman towered over Foster in a black tuxedo with a stylish velvet jacket and shiny dress shoes. Foster was the picture of elegance in a glittering gold one-shoulder gown with a matching jewelled clutch
Social media users were quick to slam Hugh's move as 'disrespectful' and 'classless'.
'Thumbs down! It's forever team Debbie over here!!' one person sniped.
'Poor Deborra,' a second added, as another chimed in with: 'Not a fan.'
'I lost big respect for him,' someone else wrote, while yet another sniped: 'Yes, pathetic.'
Jackman and his ex-wife previously attended multiple Met Galas, with their last joint appearance in 2023.
The actor notably showed up to the 2024 soirée solo and skipped the event altogether last year amid their high-profile split.
