Recently, Broadway star Sutton Foster separated from her husband. It was revealed that the reason for the actress’s divorce from Ted Griffin was her secret affair with Hugh Jackman. The actors have been close friends for a long time and have supported each other in everything.
The Australian actor wanted to introduce his new girlfriend to his children, 24-year-old Oscar and 19-year-old Ava. However, Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, did not approve of this idea.
According to a source, Deborra feels that Hugh’s new relationship is progressing too quickly. She believes that their children are not ready to meet their father’s new partner. The actor’s ex-wife feels that Hugh is “moving on too fast,” but she “gave everything to their marriage” and doesn’t want a “blended” Christmas. “Hugh Jackman will clearly spend little time with the children,” the source shared.
Last month, reports emerged that Hugh’s close relationship with 49-year-old Broadway star Sutton Foster played a role in the end of his marriage to Deborra. An insider close to the actor told Us Weekly about how his new romance is progressing.
According to the insider, the celebrity relationship is very “easy-going” and “joyful.” The stars visit New York restaurants, stroll through Central Park, and support each other in their careers, understanding the demands of the film industry.
“They are happier than ever. Jackman admires Foster’s incredible talent, infectious optimism, and grounded nature, while she is drawn to his kindness, professionalism, and ability to make those around him feel valued,” the source said.
Foster has been married twice. Her first husband was two-time Tony Award winner, actor Christian Borle. Their marriage lasted three years. She remarried in 2014 to screenwriter Ted Griffin. Sutton and Ted have an adopted daughter, seven-year-old Emily Dale Griffin.
Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, separated last year after 27 years of marriage. Their divorce was a shock to Hollywood. Hugh assured that he and his ex-wife remain on good terms.
