Deborra-Lee Furness left ‘extremely disturbed’ by his new flame Sutton Foster’s shock act before split
Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife was left “extremely disturbed” by the actions of his now-girlfriend Sutton Foster in the lead up to her marriage breaking down, it has been revealed.
An insider claims Broadway star Foster attempted to befriend Deborra-Lee Furness — even proposing to go on double dates with her and Hugh.
Furness, 69, is reportedly furious with Foster’s bid to get close and now, in hindsight, sees it as a red flag.

“The fact that Sutton used to go on double dates and tried so hard to befriend Deb is extremely disturbing to her,” the insider told the Daily Mail.
“She will never have anything to do with Sutton.
“Deb is friends with Sutton’s ex and they both share a deep sense of betrayal.”
Jackman and Furness announced their shock split two years ago. Foster filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband Ted Griffen last year.
It is believed Jackman and Furness’ marriage began to unravel during COVID and collapsed after Jackman and Foster starred together in the hit Broadway revival of The Music Man from 2021 to 2023.
Furness filed for divorce on May 23 and has since been open about her heartbreak.
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said in a statement released to Daily Mail.
“It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working for us.“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.
“It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”
Furness is now reportedly planning to publish a tell-all “divorce diary”.
“Deb’s been desperate to have her side of the story out there,” a source told Woman’s Day.
“She’s been writing down all her thoughts, the good and the bad, and logging every detail of this ugly roller-coaster divorce.
“As soon as her lawyers allow it, she will be talking to publishers about a deal.”
Jackman is yet to release a statement about the divorce but is believed to be “extremely disappointed” in Furness’ allegations about “betrayal”.
