LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hugh Jackman and his lady love Sutton Foster have reportedly been facing challenges in their relationship because of their super busy schedules.

The couple got together while working together in the Broadway revival of ‘The Music Man’ three years ago. A source had claimed at the time, “It was intoxicating to be working together every day, and even when the show was over, it was exciting to meet undercover.”

“They felt like a couple of lovestruck teenagers,” they revealed. But now, another insider told Radar Online that things have begun to change because of their demanding careers.

The source shared, “Hugh and Sutton realized when they fell in love there would be separations, but they were committed to making it work. But it's a lot harder than they thought it would be, and romance has taken a back seat.”

The insider continued, “This is the first time they've had to grapple with being separated for long stretches of time, and they're getting moody.”

“And he's been working with the lovely Jodie [Comer],” they said.

The insider further disclosed that “even when Hugh is in town, he's preoccupied, so date nights have taken a back seat. And for the first time in their relationship, he's been too tired for sex.”

Another source revealed that the 50-year-old actress has not fully given up as she “tries to plan a romantic evening, but it backfires when Hugh comes home tired and grumpy.”

“This is the first time she's had to go without intimacy – and that can be a game changer. Hugh doesn't notice her frustration because he's either too tired or too busy. The feeling is that they need to make room for each other for this to work,” they added.
