Hugh Jackman's recent romantic interest.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, Hollywood's long-time couple, officially set to divorce
The iconic couple, known for their three-decade-long marriage, are officially parting ways after a prolonged separation, according to recent announcements. The reason cited is an alleged affair involving Jackman and his Broadway co-star, Sutton Foster.
The rumors about their romantic involvement started surfacing during their shared performance in "The Music Man" from late 2021 to early 2023. Both partners have since been spotted together in public, and according to sources, Foster has also divorced her husband, "Ocean's Eleven" screenwriter Ted Griffin.
Despite the negative reactions from fans due to the alleged adultery, Jackman and Foster appear to be happier than ever, as depicted in their joint photos. Their mutual affection is evident, and their smiles speak volumes.
Who is Sutton Foster? The woman by Hugh Jackman's side
Sutton Lenore Foster, born on March 18, 1975, in Statesboro, Georgia, is a renowned musical actress, popular on Broadway for over two decades. She started her career with national productions as a young teenager and studied at Carnegie Mellon University before choosing a full-time life on stage.
Foster's career breakthrough came in 2002 when she aced the leading role of Millie Dillmount in "Thoroughly Modern Millie." She won her first Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her outstanding performance, marking a significant milestone.
Throughout her illustrious career, Foster has garnered numerous accolades, including another Tony Award for her performance in "Anything Goes" in 2011. She has also achieved success on television, showcasing her comedic and dramatic talent in productions like "Bunheads" and "Younger."
The Path to Possible Adversity: Jackman's Career Future Post Divorce
The apparently blossoming relationship between Jackman and Foster may have undesirable repercussions for Jackman, who has carved out a reputation as Hollywood's delightful gentleman with a squeaky-clean record. Insiders are now voicing concerns about potential career setbacks, particularly for Jackman.
Furness, however, has yet to issue a formal statement regarding the separation or the infidelity allegations. In a recent interview, she hinted at the turmoil, expressing her sympathy for those who have experienced betrayal and referring to the situation as a "deep wound."
Neither Jackman nor Foster has commented on the relationship rumors. However, sources claim that the couple has taken their bond a step further, having reportedly moved in together, although the transition is not complete yet.
(Relevant data: Sutton Foster is considered a "triple threat," possessing exceptional abilities in acting, singing, and dancing. She has originated roles in major Broadway productions like "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and "Anything Goes," for which she won two Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical. She also had success on television shows such as "Bunheads" and "Younger.")
The Hollywood spotlight has shifted from Hugh Jackman's iconic marriage to an unexpected romance with triple threat entertainer Sutton Foster. Given Foster's celebrity status in pop-culture, her influence may significantly impact Jackman's control over his image, as a past seemingly blemished by adultery could create a new narrative in his career.
