Hugh Jackman’s girlfriend Sutton Foster ‘feeling the pressure’ of public scrutiny in their relationship

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood star Hugh Jackman's girlfriend Sutton Foster is feeling the pressure of public scrutiny as the relationship grows stronger, Radar Online revealed on Saturday, February 22.

The revelation comes days after Jackman's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness was reported telling her friends that his romance would "fizzle out" in one year.

Both Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, were married to other people when they fell for each other. They starred together in the Broadway production of 'The Music Man' from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.

Later in 2023, Jackman announced separation from his wife of 27 years, Deborra, 69. The following year, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin.

Sutton Foster starts feeling 'pressure' of Hugh Jackman romance

Sources close to Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster reportedly told the publication that both are very much in love with each other and happy to have made their relationship public. However, the stardom enjoyed by Jackman brought about its own challenges for Foster, who is known to enjoy a quieter life.

Speaking of a "significant burden" on Foster, an insider revealed, "The pressure is starting to get to her these days, especially with Jackman filming in Northern Ireland for his upcoming project 'The Death Of Robin Hood'."

"She is feeling the pressure of being in the public eye the whole time and there is a lot of negative noise coming from Hugh's estranged wife's camp," they continued. "She and Hugh are completely in love, but their relationship has come with so many problems."

Sutton Foster having to deal with negative remarks about her Hugh Jackman relationship

While Sutton Foster is trying to make her way through the challenges that come with dating a Hollywood A-lister like Hugh Jackman, she also has to deal with comments made by his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, who called their relationship an "infatuation" of a star going through a "midlife crisis".

A source told Radar that Jackman was "needy and will lean on Sutton for support, but that’s just the beginning of why it won’t work out".

Such comments being reported from Furness may have "rattled" Foster, claim other insiders, as she is "not used to this level of attention".

"It’s hard for her not to get upset," shared a friend of Foster, as another noted, "She’s never felt this kind of hatred and vitriol."

The wave of negativity has apparently left Foster concerned about the safety of her 7-year-old daughter, as the friend noted, "There’s a fear of raising her daughter in an A-list security cocoon."

The spotlight of Jackman's stardom has reportedly left Sutton wondering if she has taken on "more than she can handle".
