Hugh Jackman is out and about in New York City.

On Thursday, Jackman, 54, was seen taking a stroll in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, wearing an orange sweater, dark blue jeans and aviator-style sunglasses.

Jackman's sighting comes almost two weeks after he and wife Deborra-lee Jackman announced in an exclusive statement with PEOPLE that they decided to amicably end their marriage after 27 years.

The X-Men star has been photographed since he and Deborra-lee, 67, broke the news: once on a solo stroll the day after the announcement, and again on Sept. 18 in the company of his friend and Deadpool 3 costar Ryan Reynolds.

"Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth," they wrote in a statement. "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.
