Deborra-Lee Furness, 69, and daughter Ava, 19, both put on brave faces at the Australian Open after Hugh’s smooch.
And to ward off any negative energy, the mother-and-daughter duo rocked an evil eye jewel each.
The evil eye is an ancient symbol that is thought to protect the wearer from negative energy, bad luck, and envious glances.
It is believed to work by deflecting negative energy back onto the sender.
Deborra rocked an evil eye ring, while daughter Ava wore an evil eye bracelet.
The pair were seen arriving at the Rod Laver Arena looking upbeat as they posed for the cameras.
Deborra-Lee and Ava were joined by Tennis Australia director Jayne Hrdlicka, and former Australian Open doubles winner Judy Tegart-Dalton.
The ex of Hugh Jackman rocked a $1,100 violet silk shirt, which had an illustration of a cowboy riding a bucking bronco.
She completed the look with some white trousers and finished off the look with some raffia shoes and a pair of round sunglasses.
Meanwhile, daughter Ava rocked a black and brown lacey mini dress with some black boots, a pendant choker, and minimal makeup.
DOWNCAST AT AUSTRALIAN OPEN
Although the mom-and-daughter duo were all smiles as they posed up a storm before heading inside to watch tennis, Ava looked a little less smiley once inside.
While sitting around the edge of the court watching the Australian Open, Ava appeared to be overcome with emotion.
Looking sad and downcast while inside the event, Ava leaned her head on her mom’s shoulder.
Deborra-Lee then comforted her daughter, with her embracing her and touching her head.
STEAMY SMOOCH WITH SUTTON
This comes after Deborra-Lee’s ex, Hugh, 56, was spotted in a steamy kissing situation with his new woman, with him kissing the lady publicly for the first time.
Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

Broadway icon Sutton Foster, 49, and Hugh looked smitten as they couldn’t keep their hands off each other while in the car together after visiting a fast food joint.
The two Broadway veterans first met in 2008 when Sutton starred in Shrek the Musical.
Sutton filed for divorce from her second husband in October 2024.
Speaking of her and Hugh’s on-stage chemistry in 2022, she said: “He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true.”
HUGH AND DEB’S MARRIAGE AND SPLIT
Hugh was previously married to Deborra-Lee, after the pair met on the set of Australian TV show Correlli in 1995.
They got hitched in 1996 at St. John’s in Toorak, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne
After going through two miscarriages, Deborra-Lee and Hugh adopted two children: a boy born in 2000, and a girl born in 2005.
In September 2023, the couple announced their separation.
The Aussie couple said in a statement at the time: “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.
“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.”
