Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have been navigating the challenges of their separation after announcing their split in 2023. A source close to the couple revealed that the process has been stressful, hard, and not entirely amicable. There have been disagreements about certain things post-split, but the exes are trying to move forward as best as they can, despite the hurt feelings and pain involved. Given their long history together, which spans nearly three decades, it will take time for both Jackman and Furness to fully recover from the end of their marriage.
The couple first met on the set of the Australian TV series “Correlli” in 1995 and married in 1996. They welcomed their son Oscar in 2000 and adopted their daughter Ava five years later. Throughout their marriage, Furness had to shut down rumors about Jackman’s sexuality, defending him against speculation that he was gay.
Just months before announcing their split, Jackman publicly expressed his love for Furness on their 27th wedding anniversary, praising her laughter, spirit, generosity, humor, courage, and loyalty. However, in September 2023, the couple shared the news of their decision to separate, stating that they were grateful for the almost three decades they had spent together as husband and wife but that their journey was now shifting towards individual growth.
One year later, rumors surfaced linking Jackman romantically to Sutton Foster, with whom he had developed a close relationship during their time working together on Broadway’s “The Music Man.” Reports suggested that their friendship had turned into a romantic relationship, leading to speculation about the cause of Jackman and Furness’s divorce. Foster was married to Ted Griffin at the time, but she filed for divorce in October 2024.
Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, Jackman and Foster have since gone public with their romance and appear to be happy together. They were recently seen holding hands in Los Angeles, signaling that they are moving forward in their new chapter together. While their journey may have had its ups and downs, Jackman and Foster seem to be focusing on their happiness and the future ahead. Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster continue to capture the hearts of fans as they make more public appearances together. Most recently, Foster was seen showing her support for Jackman at the opening of his Broadway show, “From New York, With Love,” on January 24.
The couple, who have been rumored to be dating for some time now, have been spotted spending a lot of time together. While they are not officially living together, sources reveal that they are relieved and happy to no longer have to hide their relationship.
According to insiders, Jackman and Foster are deeply in love with each other. Although they are not rushing into marriage, they are committed to each other and are enjoying their time together.
