Hugh Jackman, the beloved X-Men star and fan favorite, has once again sent shockwaves across the internet. After 27 years of marriage, Jackman finalized his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in June 2025 — and now he’s openly sharing kisses with his new love interest, Broadway star Sutton Foster. Their budding relationship has drawn a storm of criticism from fans, Jackman’s ex-wife, and even some close friends.
Just months after the official split, media outlets captured Jackman and Foster — his co-star in The Music Man — embracing and kissing in public. Their growing affection quickly became tabloid gold and lit up social media with speculation and backlash.
Some fans expressed deep disappointment online:
“I thought he was different! 27 years of marriage, and now this?” wrote one upset follower.
Supporters of Deborra-Lee even launched a trending campaign, labeling her the “victim of betrayal.”
Deborra-Lee herself added fuel to the fire in a recent interview, claiming she felt “emotionally betrayed” and “deeply shaken.” She accused Foster of hypocrisy, revealing that the actress once approached her “as a friend” before allegedly beginning a relationship with Jackman behind her back.
According to insiders, Sutton Foster has been struggling under the weight of public backlash. She’s reportedly withdrawn from social media, avoided comments, and is privately questioning whether she made the right decision.
Despite the turmoil, Foster is reportedly refusing to play the victim. Sources say she is “ready to defend her love” and, though times are tough, she’s committed to her relationship with Jackman.
Adding to the headlines, it’s been revealed that the couple won’t be signing a prenuptial agreement. Jackman, whose fortune is estimated in the multimillions, has stated that he fully trusts Foster. Rumors suggest that she’s already moving into their shared New York home.
This move has stirred new controversy — not just among fans, but within Jackman’s own family. Reports say his children, Oscar and Ava, are struggling to navigate their feelings, torn between respect for their father and loyalty to their mother.
Amid the chaos, Hugh and Sutton continue to appear publicly together, sharing walks, laughter, and quiet moments — seemingly unfazed by the storm of online criticism. Behind the scenes, however, sources hint that the couple may be facing intimacy issues, though they remain tight-lipped about the status of their relationship.
For now, the drama continues — and the world is watching.
