Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster step out hand-in-hand for a dinner date in Los Angeles.

Hugh Jackman and his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness are reportedly planning to reunite just months after the Wolverine actor went public with his new partner.

According to New Idea, the exes — who split in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage — are planning to meet up in New York to talk through issues so they can amicably co-parent their children Oscar and Ava.

A “well-place source” told the media outlet that the former couple have “very little interest in waging a public war against each other”.

“They all live in New York and there will be holidays, birthdays, kids activities and, heaven forbid, some tough times,” the source said.

“It’s going to be much more fun and easier if they’re all getting along.

“These moments with the kids are too meaningful to miss and after 30 years of life together, it’s hard for them to stay in conflict for too long.”

The plans to reunite come after months of speculation that Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, were no longer on speaking terms after the latter’s relationship with Sutton Foster.

After rumours of Jackman “running off” with his Broadway co-star ran rife, he confirmed the new romance in January by stepping out holding hands with the 49-year-old.

It was reported at the time that Furness had her “suspicions” about the relationship before the confirmation and was “relieved” when it finally came to light.

“Deborra-Lee feels a sense of relief to be honest with you,” a source told Daily Mail.

“She has been plagued with suspicions. She was told it wasn’t true and that they were nothing more than close friends who worked together.

“But something in her heart told her that this was not true.

“She can now fully close this chapter and move on.”
