The Hollywood actor with Australian roots returned to his homeland to spend Christmas with his two children — 24-year-old Oscar and 19-year-old Ava, whom he adopted during his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness. Hugh has not been taking it easy during his break from filming, starting his Monday morning quite actively. He was spotted leaving a gym in Bondi after an intense workout. He was wearing a grey tank top, black shorts, and had a towel around his neck. He completed his look with aviator sunglasses with blue lenses.
Jackman headed to the beach with his trainer to cool off after his workout. For his swim, Hugh changed into black-and-white beach shorts with a fun print. Paparazzi captured the actor and producer shirtless. He showcased his impressive physique, with a sculpted abdomen and muscular biceps. The Oscar nominee is in the same shape he was in when playing the mutant hero Wolverine in the “X-Men” saga.
Hugh’s return to Australia was emotional. In September of the previous year, he announced his divorce from his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he had been married for nearly 30 years. Sources close to the actor revealed that he had begun a romantic relationship with 49-year-old Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. However, the actress was not seen with her boyfriend in Sydney.
Deborra-Lee is furious over her husband’s betrayal. She is also angry at close friends of Hugh, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who knew about the affair but didn’t tell her. As a result, the 69-year-old Australian star found out last. Hugh plans to introduce his new partner to his children during the holiday season, though Deborra is not pleased about this.
Hugh and Sutton played Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in the musical The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan. The couple attended public events together, including the Broadway show’s premiere in February 2022. Jackman and Foster have chosen to keep their relationship private, adhering to the principle that “happiness loves silence.” They are trying to keep their romance out of the public eye. “They are 100 percent in love with each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. Hugh and Sutton are doing their best to keep the relationship hidden, but it’s well known,” an insider shared.
