As soon as rumors surfaced about his new girlfriend, speculation began that their relationship started while he was still married. Now, a friend of his ex-wife has confirmed it.
American media recently reported that Australian actor Hugh Jackman is in a serious and harmonious relationship following his divorce last year from Deborra-Lee Furness, whom he was with for 28 years, 27 of those as a married couple.
Reportedly, Jackman is dating actress Sutton Foster, with whom he began working in 2022 while still married. Foster also recently filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin. Sources close to the pair claim that Hugh and Sutton spend every free moment together but are keeping their relationship private.
Since the actors first met during preparations for the Broadway musical The Music Man in 2022, when Jackman was still in what appeared to be a happy marriage, rumors have surfaced that his relationship with Sutton Foster may have started back then. In other words, that he cheated on his wife, Deborra-Lee.
This claim was recently given more weight by Amanda de Cadenet, a British actress and photographer who is known to be a close friend of Deborra-Lee Furness. A social media user posted a video suggesting Jackman had cheated on his wife, with whom he shares two children. In response, de Cadenet commented:
“You’re absolutely right in this case. My dear friend Deb is just about to shine, for your information!”
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster performed together in the Broadway production of The Music Man from December 2021 to January 2023. Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their divorce in September 2023.
“They are absolutely together, deeply in love, and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other,” a source stated earlier when the first rumors about their relationship surfaced in late 2023.
“They’re still together,” an unnamed source recently told Page Six. “They’re trying to keep it under wraps, but it’s widely known.”
