Hugh Jackman's Ex-Wife Deborra-Lee Furness Had 'Suspicions' About His Broadway Costar Sutton Foster Amid Alleged Romance: Source
Deborra-Lee Furness may have seen Hugh Jackman's alleged romance with Sutton Foster coming.
According to insiders, the Wolverine actor's ex-wife, 68, picked up on hints that The Music Man costars were getting close during their Broadway run in 2022 amid rumors of an alleged romance between Jackman, 56, and the Anything Goes alum, 49.
"Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton," a source claimed about the Correlli actress, who split from The Greatest Showman star in September 2023. "Their relationship is not a secret to her."
Although she may have suspected the Broadway actors were bonding while she was still married to Jackman, with whom she shares adopted children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, Furness isn't holding onto resentment. "Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative. She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh," the insider added. "When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that happened during their marriage private."
The alleged revelation comes after Foster officially filed for divorce from her husband of ten years, Ted Griffin, 53, as rumors have swirled that she and Jackman have fallen madly in love.
"Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official," a separate source alleged. "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."
