Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster's relationship is 'no secret' to his 'suspicious' ex Deborra-Lee Furness

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hugh Jackman’s rumored newfound romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster has taken the tinsel town by storm. However, his budding love is  "no secret" to his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, who had her “suspicions” about him working with Foster.

Sources indicate that Foster, 49, who recently filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin, has become increasingly close to Jackman, sparking rumors that the two are now "in love."

Deborra-Lee Furness was concerned about Hugh Jackman's relationship with Sutton Foster

Deborra-Lee Furness was said to have concerns about Hugh Jackman's closeness to his 'The Music Man' co-star during their 2022 Broadway run, a year before their 27-year marriage ended.

"Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton. Their relationship is not a secret to her," a source revealed to the Daily Mail.

Furness was "suspicious" of the rapport between Jackman and Foster during their time working together, but she has chosen not to address the situation publicly, sticking to an agreement to keep details of their marriage private.

Foster, who has been married to screenwriter Ted Griffin since 2014 and shares a seven-year-old daughter, has also remained discreet about the relationship.

Sources say that Hugh Jackman, 56, and Sutton Foster, 49, seem to be quietly enjoying each other's company as they both navigate their divorces.

The pair, who co-starred in the revival of 'The Music Man', has reportedly grown close and are "spending all of their free time together," according to an insider.

As the stars navigate their separations from their spouses, their friendship seems to have developed into something deeper.

Jackman and Foster have kept their relationship intentionally low-profile, choosing to avoid the public eye. A source close to the couple told Page Six that while they’re “inseparable,” they are doing their best to maintain their privacy. “They are a regular couple, just in private,” the source added.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness are navigating life after their divorce with mutual respect, choosing to refrain from public discussions about their split.

The couple, who share two adopted children—Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19—announced their separation last September after nearly 30 years of marriage.

In a joint statement, they expressed gratitude for their shared journey and highlighted their decision to part ways in order to "pursue individual growth."

A source close to Furness confirmed that "Deborra-Lee wants to be excluded from this narrative. She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh. When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that occurred during their marriage private."

Another source shared, “'Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official. 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."

The source continued, "Hugh still has tremendous respect for Deborra-Lee. They have kids and that is what is important to them both. They are repairing what they can, and will never talk ill about each other."

Following the separation, rumors began to circulate about a developing relationship between Jackman and his 'The Music Man' co-star, Sutton Foster.

Insiders disclosed to Page Six that the pair has grown closer in recent months and are now "in love." While the two have reportedly kept their relationship private, sources describe it as "common knowledge."

An insider shared with the publication, "They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge."

Since her split from 'The Prestige' actor, Furness has maintained a low profile, although she hinted at "big plans" for her career following the breakup and a renewed embrace of change earlier this year.

Furness also shared with The Daily Telegraph in Australia, "It's exciting. You know, change, transition, and evolution can be a little frightening, and we all feel a bit scared of it, but I believe it is probably our greatest gift."
