On her Instagram account, gossip writer Tasha Lustig revealed some serious information about Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman on October 26.
The video producer pointed to a picture of the Music dude cast members looking so sweet on the red carpet and said, “Do you guys remember when I told you this man was up to no good?”
Lustig continued by claiming that the Broadway stars intended to “soft launch” their relationship in public and that Jackman had “blindsided” his ex-wife, Deborra-lee Furness, by “running off with the mistress.”
Along with over 25,000 other people, Furness’ close friend, British media personality Amanda de Cadenet, wrote: “You are on point with this one.”
Furness also “liked” the juicy post from her private account, which is only accessible to those she follows on the platform. Just so you know, my dear buddy Deb is going to receive a makeover any minute now!
The social media activity seemed to support reports of a covert affair between Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56,
Who costarred in the Broadway production in 2022. (Jackman and his former partner Furness declared their separation in September 2023;
On October 25, Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin.) According to sources in the most recent Us Weekly issue,
Jackman and Foster are now dating. During the show’s 11-month run, their friendship blossomed into a sexual relationship while they were married to other people.
According to a Foster source, “Hugh and Deb got divorced because of Sutton and Hugh’s relationship.”
Since they are both such wonderful and kind individuals, we kept it private even though many others on Broadway knew. Everyone was considerate of their privacy.
However, there was overlap and an affair. The insider claims that Jackman and Foster are still together, saying, “They are really happy now.”
For years, Jackman and Foster have been involved in the same Broadway circles. Jackman quipped that he had seen Foster feature in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
When she was “like, 4 years old” and disclosed that he had “watched everything she’s done” during a late-night appearance.
In 2002, at the age of 27, Foster received a Tony Award for her performance. According to Raved Jackman, “[She’s] amazing.”
When they were cast in The Music Man, they clicked right away. Foster said to Vogue in 2022 that Jackman had grown to be one of her best friends,
Adding that they even attended family gatherings. (Foster and Griffin are parents to Emily, 7, whom they adopted in 2017;
Jackson and Furness, 68, adopted a daughter, 19, in 2005, and a son, Oscar, 24, in 2000.) “We just spent Memorial Day with our families, but you usually go into these things thinking,
‘Well, I hope we get along,'” she said. Foster also said that she and Jackman had developed a private routine wherein.
They would sit on her dressing room floor and talk before to every performance. Foster said, “It’s such a wonderful thing,” when appearing on Live with Kelly and Ryan.
We just chat and catch up on each other’s days. “Making this amazing new friend has been one of the best parts of the whole thing,” she said.
They often shared adorable pictures and videos of themselves swooning over one another on Instagram throughout rehearsals.
Alongside a video of them rehearsing a dance, Jackman commented, “This show is nothing without you.”
Foster posted pictures of herself with Jackman on the red carpet on opening night, captioning them, “This man.” Being at your side is an honor. You are the greatest.
Even after seeing her then-husband and Foster share passionate kisses on stage night after night, Furness had no suspicions. An industry insider claims that Deborah Lee was taken by surprise.
When she learned about the affair during the course of the performance. “Apparently, Deborra-lee was the last to discover what Broadway’s worst-kept secret was.”
As we now know, Jackman never disclosed the affair to us. The industry insider goes on to say, “He didn’t own up to it.”
Jackman’s contact with Foster persisted despite Furness’s desire to keep the marriage together. Jackman and Furness seemed to be one of Hollywood’s most stable couples for many years.
Furness and the Wolverine actor fell in love while costarring in the Australian television series Correlli. (Furness was his starring woman, much like Foster.) .
Jackman proposed just five months after they first met. He previously said, “I knew two weeks into meeting Deb that we were going to be together for the rest of our lives.”
“She’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me,” Jackman remarked in a 2016 talk show interview, adding that his marriage “gets better and better” every time.
The actor expressed his gratitude for having met her before to his meteoric rise to stardom in the early 2000s.
“We have always worked together on everything that has happened in my career, both on and off screen.”
In a gushing tweet directed for Furness, Jackman commemorated his 27th wedding anniversary in April 2023.
“We have formed a lovely family together. as well as life,” he wrote. “I am so grateful for your joy, enthusiasm, generosity, humor, cheekiness, boldness, and loyalty. You have my undying love.
According to one source, Jackman and Foster had already started an affair at this time, but according to another, they first learned about their relationship in November of last year, two months after the actor declared his marriage was ended. In a statement at the time,
Jackman and Furness stated, “We have been fortunate to spend nearly three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.”
“Now that our path is changing, we have chosen to part ways in order to focus on our personal development.”
According to a couple’s acquaintance, Furness was devastated. The acquaintance remarks that Furness has been really kind behind the scenes to protect her family, adding,
“[For a] woman who’s been in a marriage for [27] years who then discovers her partner was unfaithful and isn’t trustworthy, it’s a pretty devastating life experience.” The buddy adds,
“I think a lot of people were shocked [Hugh] could do this to her, especially since she’s the mother of his children and they’ve lived together for thirty years.” “It might have been time for a little respect.”
Furness is a survivor, according to a person close with her: “[Deborra-lee] is a strong, resilient, creative woman.” Regarding Jackman and Foster, things are progressing.
According to a theatrical industry insider, “they don’t live together because of their kids.” However, Sutton has discussed the friendship with Broadway folks.
This has long been known to everyone [there]. Jackman, who also resides in the city, has been observed arriving and going from Sutton’s NYC building, according to a neighbor.
According to the Foster source, Jackman is aware that his reputation is at stake. The insider said, “Hugh’s whole image is that he’s the nicest guy in Hollywood.” Therefore, he is unsure about what to do with this.
