Hugh Jackman’s Alleged Romance with Sutton Foster Gains More Speculation from Deborra-Lee Furness’ Friend

Hugh Jackman’s split from Deborra-Lee Furness after 27 years of marriage has been steeped in speculation, but a new twist has added fuel to the fire.

British actress and photographer Amanda de Cadenet, a friend of Furness, seemed to confirm the swirling rumors of Jackman’s alleged affair with Sutton Foster.

In the comments of an Instagram video that claimed Jackman left his wife for Foster after falling in love during their time starring together in The Music Man on Broadway, de Cadenet wrote, “You are on point with this one ☝🏻,” adding, “My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI!”

Jackman and Foster both entered The Music Man in 2021 while married to their respective spouses. The show concluded its run in January 2023, and just months later, Jackman and Furness announced their separation. The former couple shares two adopted children.

While Jackman reportedly felt “devastated” over the end of his marriage, Foster made headlines herself when she filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2023, after 10 years of marriage. Insiders later shared with Page Six that Jackman and Foster were “100 percent together and are in love,” but were keeping their relationship under wraps.

The chemistry between Jackman and Foster was noted early on during their Broadway stint. Foster once praised Jackman during a Vogue interview, saying, “He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest-working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him.” Meanwhile, Jackman took to Instagram before the show’s preview in December 2021, praising Foster as an “exceptional talent and friend,” saying the production would be “nothing” without her.

As fans and media await further developments, the story continues to unfold, raising questions about whether this new chapter in Jackman’s life will be publicly confirmed.
