Deborra-Lee Furness expresses her thoughts on Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster deciding to share a home.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, former co-stars in Broadway's revival of 'The Music Man', are reportedly residing together in the actor's New York City penthouse, causing a difficult adjustment for Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
According to a source from Australian outlet New Idea, the relationship between Jackman and Foster has evolved, and they are now living together. The insider shared that the two are "inseparable," with Foster gradually transferring her belongings to Jackman's residence.
This change appears to be challenging for Furness, who once shared the house with Jackman. The source stated, "She's shattered knowing Sutton is making the penthouse her own – the place she poured her soul into."
There are concerns that Jackman is moving too quickly in his new romance. The source added, "She wants him to be happy – he deserves it and so do their children, but Hugh’s completely green when it comes to dating. She's concerned he's leaping into living with someone else way too soon."
Another individual close to the situation echoed the emotional impact the transition has on Furness. "It's almost unreal [for Deborra] seeing Sutton reap the rewards of all those years of her supporting Hugh," they said.
Furness, 69, announced her separation from Jackman, 56, last Friday. Both parties had privately finalized the divorce terms before the announcement. A source from the Daily Mail mentioned that although there were discussions regarding the financial agreement, both parties are now said to be financially secure.
The couple, who share two adopted children - 25-year-old son Oscar and 19-year-old daughter Ava - are focusing on their roles as parents and maintaining an amicable relationship. Details about a settlement, alimony, and future expenses for their children have been agreed upon.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster's romantic relationship became public in January 2025, following their respective divorces from Ted Griffin and Deborra-Lee Furness. Despite the media attention, there's no evidence that their relationship was a factor in their prior marital dissolutions. Both actors have spoken about their close friendship and professional respect, which had been cultivated over two decades.
The world is abuzz with the news of Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster residing together after their close friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship, causing a difficult adjustment for Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. There are concerns that Jackman might be moving too quickly in his new romance, given the emotional impact the transition has on Furness, who had shared the house with Jackman for years. Despite their divorce, the couple, who share two children, are focusing on their roles as parents and maintaining an amicable relationship.
