Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, both talented Broadway stars, have been subtly hinting at their relationship in recent months, as new reports suggest the two are planning a “soft launch” of their romance.

This comes amidst rumors and an explosive social media response from Hugh’s estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, who seems to have confirmed the real reason behind their split.

Deborra-Lee’s Social Media Reaction

Deborra-Lee, who separated from Hugh in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, raised eyebrows when she “liked” a video posted on October 26 by gossip blogger Tasha Lustig.

The video claimed that the affair between Hugh and Sutton was the true reason for their breakup.

The post also mentioned that the couple is now testing the public’s reaction to their relationship with a “soft launch” before going fully public.

According to the blogger, they would need to create an “incredible Disney-style love story” to win over any critics.

Public Appearances and Affection

Hugh and Sutton, both 56 and 49 years old, have made several public appearances together, including at the opening night of The Music Man on Broadway in February 2022.

The two had worked on the musical’s Broadway revival, which began in 2020 before its post-pandemic debut in 2022.

Insiders have claimed that their romance was known backstage but was kept quiet out of respect for their privacy.

A Broadway Secret

According to an insider, their relationship had been “Broadway’s worst-kept secret,” with many people aware of the affair but keeping it under wraps.

“They are really happy now,” the source said, adding that Hugh’s image as “the nicest guy in Hollywood” made dealing with the situation difficult for him.

Deborra-Lee’s Reaction to the Affair

While one source suggested that Deborra-Lee was suspicious when Hugh started working with Sutton, another insider told Us Weekly that she was blindsided by the affair.

“She was the last to know,” the insider revealed. “Worse yet, he didn’t own up to it.”

Public Praise and Growing Affection

In interviews from The Music Man‘s 2022 run, both Hugh and Sutton expressed their admiration for one another.

Sutton spoke fondly of Hugh in a Vogue interview, calling him “incredibly kind and generous” and describing him as “one of my best friends.”

She also shared how they spent time with their families during Memorial Day.

Looking Ahead: Their Future Together

Sources close to the couple say that Hugh and Sutton are “100 percent together” and in love, with plans to spend their lives together.

Sutton, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin after a 10-year marriage, shares a daughter with him.

Meanwhile, Hugh and Deborra-Lee, who have two children together, announced their separation after nearly three decades of marriage.

As their romance continues to develop, it seems Hugh and Sutton are ready to make their relationship official, no longer hiding in the wings.
