It’s no secret that Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra Lee Furness, had suspicions about the actor’s relationship with Broadway actress Sutton Foster.
According to reports, the 56-year-old actor is “in love” with the 49-year-old actress, who he worked with in the musical “The Music Man.”
In December 2023, a magazine reported that Jackman was “romancing” the actress, who is known for her role in TV show “Younger.”
The story was quickly followed by various rumors about the actor and Foster.
The speculation about their relationship became even more intense after the former filed for a divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin.
Court documents revealed that the couple filed for a divorce on October 22 in New York.
According to People magazine, Furness, who was 68 years old at that time, was reportedly worried about her husband and Foster working together on Broadway.
It was reportedly her suspicions that prompted her to file for divorce.
A source close to Furness said that she knew about her ex-husband’s relationship with the actress. They added that she doesn’t want to speak about it or address it.
Another source claimed that the couple had already agreed to keep their private details private.
According to a report by DailyMail.com, the two have remained close friends and won’t let their relationship get “down everyone’s throat.”
They reportedly became close working together on “The Music Man,” and they would often talk about their personal issues.
The source also noted that Jackman still values Furness and their two children.
They have reportedly remained close friends and are trying to repair their relationship. Foster, who is 49, and Griffin, who is 53, have a daughter together.
