As OK! reported, rumors about Jackman and Foster started to ramp up in 2024 as they costarred together in Broadway's The Music Man.
In fact, when gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claimed Jackman "blindsided" Furness by "running away with the mistress [Foster]," the mom-of-two "liked" the post. Furness' friend Amanda de Cadenet also weighed in on the drama, commenting on the same upload, "You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!"
Rumors swirled the actor cheated on Furness with 'The Music Man' costar Sutton Foster.
One insider doubled down on allegations that the Deadpool & Wolverine star strayed.
"Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced," the source insisted to a news outlet last year. "A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy."
"But there was an affair and overlap," they claimed, noting the Hollywood hunk and the Younger alum, 49, "are really happy now."
Sutton filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Ted Griffin, 54, in October 2024 after a decade of marriage.
Jackman and Furness share two children.
Though the new lovers appeared to be hiding their romance at first, on Monday, January 6, they finally confirmed they were more than friends when they were seen holding hands while on a dinner date in California, as OK! reported.
The stars both had smiles spread across their faces and chatted enthusiastically during the stroll.
