Insiders Reveal How Hugh Jackman’s Ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness Allegedly Feels About His New Romance

In case you missed it, Hugh Jackman and his former co-star Sutton Foster have sparked some serious romance rumors. While neither has publicly commented on them yet, many sources are coming forward about alleged details, including one who revealed how Jackman’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness feels about it.

Sources alleged to DailyMail that Furness had “suspicions” about the two, but she’s allegedly going to stay out of this and live her own best life.

“Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton. Their relationship is not a secret to her,” they claimed. “Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative. She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh. When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that happened during their marriage private.”

So Furness probably won’t talk about it. But as for Jackman and Foster, they’re allegedly going to heat things up.

“Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official. They aren’t going to shove it down everyone’s throat. They became close friends while working together and got to confide in each other over their individual troubles,” another source said.

For those who don’t know, Jackman and Furness married in April 1996, after meeting on the show Correlli the year prior. They adopted two children named Oscar Maximillian, born in May 2000, and Ava Eliot, born in July 2005. Sadly, they called it quits after 27 years together, and separated in Sept 2023.

Now, as for Foster, she recently filed from divorce from her husband, of ten years, Ted Griffin, and it subsequently sparked romance rumors with Jackman, with whom she worked with in 2022 on the set of the Broadway revival of The Music Man.

A Page Six insider claimed that Foster and Jackman were clearly in love on set, and behind closed doors. “They spend all of their free time together,” one source said. “They are a regular couple; they are just in private.” Another insider also noted that “they sneak around” undetected — well, those days are probably over, too.
