Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster’s Romance 'Is the Reason' He Divorced Wife


Insiders shed light on Hugh Jackman’s relationship with his Broadway costar Sutton Foster— and how his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness is coping

Lustig went on to say that Jackman had “blindsided” his ex-wife, Deborra-lee Furness, by “running off with the mistress” and that the Broadway stars were planning to “soft launch” their relationship publicly. During a 2016 talk show appearance, Jackman said his marriage “gets better and better” with time, adding, “She’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me.” The actor noted he was grateful he’d met her before he skyrocketed to fame in the early 2000s. “[For a] woman who’s been in a marriage for [27] years who then discovers her partner was unfaithful and isn’t trustworthy, it’s a pretty devastating life experience,” says the friend, noting that Furness has been exceedingly gracious behind the scenes in order to protect her family.
