Furness’ close friend, British media personality Amanda de Cadenet, also firmed up the allegations, commenting the claims about the 56-year-old’s infidelity were true.
“You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!” Cadenet wrote.
In September 2023, Jackman filed for divorce from Australian actress Furness after 27 years of marriage.
At the time, Furness and Jackman released a joint statement announcing their split.
“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” the statement read.
“Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
They share two adopted children, 24-year-old Oscar and 19-year-old Ava.
News broke about Jackman’s new relationship with 49-year-old Foster just two weeks ago after she filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years.
The pair were first linked in December 2023, when In Touch magazine reported the Wolverine actor was “romancing” Foster, who is also known for starring in the TV show Younger.
The divorce has only added fuel to rumours that the two Broadway stars have found love off-stage after their lauded run in The Music Man.
Sources told Page Six that their romance is common knowledge in the industry.
“They are 100 per cent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source said.
“They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”
