After 27 years of marriage, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness called it quits in September 2023.
Initially, their split seemed amicable, but things took a drastic turn for the worse when Jackman’s romance with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster was exposed to the world.
The Affair That Changed Everything
Sources claim that Jackman and Foster started seeing each other while he was still married to Furness, citing the affair as the reason for their divorce. And now, the drama has taken a new twist.
A-List Friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Knew About the Affair
Reports are circulating that Jackman and Furness’ close friends, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, knew about the rumored affair and kept it a secret from Furness. This has left Furness “seething with rage” and feeling blindsided.
A Betrayal of Trust
According to a source, “They (Reynolds and Lively) could sense something was brewing between Hugh and Sutton Foster. But they kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh. Despite their longtime relationship with Deb, they chose to cover for him!”
Furness Has the Last Laugh
However, it seems Furness is set to have the last laugh after shutting down her ex’s plan to introduce their two kids, Oscar and Ava, to his new partner. Jackman wanted to begin blending his family with Sutton’s this festive season, but Furness isn’t comfortable with the idea.
A Lonely Christmas for Jackman
“Deb feels like Hugh hasn’t properly acknowledged the hurt he caused by moving on so quickly. She gave so much of herself to their marriage, personally and professionally. It’s not just about healing — it’s about respect,” a family insider revealed.
As a result, it’s going to be a lonely Christmas for Jackman, with the kids spending most of their time with their mum. It’s clear that the drama surrounding Jackman’s split from Furness is far from over.
