Deborra-Lee Furness ‘Seething with Rage’ Over Hugh Jackman’s Rumored Romance with Sutton Foste
Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, is reportedly “seething with rage” over the Hollywood actor’s rumored relationship with Broadway actress Sutton Foster. According to sources, Furness, who split from Jackman in September 2023 after nearly 30 years of marriage, is upset about being the “last to know” about the romance.
Furness is said to feel blindsided by Jackman’s new relationship and the fact that his close friends, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, allegedly kept quiet about it. “They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,” a source claimed, adding that Furness feels “cheated” by both Jackman and his friends for not informing her sooner.
Jackman is reportedly planning to introduce Foster to their children, Oscar and Ava, during the upcoming holiday season. However, Furness is opposed to the idea, insisting that she is not comfortable with the idea of a “blended” family Christmas. This development only adds to the tension surrounding the split.
Jackman and Foster, who first worked together on the Broadway revival of The Music Man from February 2022 to January 2023, have reportedly kept their relationship low-key, though they are said to be committed to making it work.
Their separation came as a surprise to many fans, with the couple releasing a joint statement in September: “Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.” Despite the amicable language in the statement, the fallout from Jackman’s rumored romance with Foster seems to have caused significant tension, particularly for Furness, who now finds herself navigating the changes in her family’s dynamics.
