Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, doesn't want him spending Christmas with their kids and his rumored new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, a source claimed.
Hugh Jackman might miss out on celebrating Christmas with his children due to his rumored new relationship with Sutton Foster.
“Hugh and Sutton would love to get together with their kids for the holidays,” an insider close to the family dished.
The former couple share two adopted children.
However, his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, is reportedly putting the brakes on those plans.
“Deb feels like Hugh hasn’t properly acknowledged the hurt he caused by moving on so quickly,” the insider said, referring to their 27-year marriage that ended in September 2023. “She gave so much of herself to their marriage, personally and professionally. It’s not just about healing – it’s about respect.”
“It’s going to take more time for loved ones to adjust to the new normal and so that means Hugh and Sutton are bracing themselves for way less time together than they’d like during the holidays,” the source added.

The Logan star is allegedly aware of the situation and is trying to handle things carefully.
“It’s still awkward, and Hugh is conscious of respecting Deb’s feelings. Hugh wants to share his new happiness with Sutton, but he also understands Deb’s feelings,” the source said.
“It’s a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is going to spend less time with the kids this year, it’s him,” they continued.
Despite the setback, “they’re determined to make it work, but for now, they’re trying to keep things as low-key as possible out of respect for everyone involved,” the source added.
