Blindsided is the word. That’s what Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster reportedly feel. About Deborbra-Lee Furness’ latest move.
It seems she wants to meet Foster face-to-face. To talk. Not to scream. Not to burn bridges. Just to get some closure. A source says this isn’t about anger or reading anyone the riot act. It’s about peace. Or what passes for it.
For the longest time. Furness wouldn’t even share a room with her ex’s partner. Now she’s changing course. Why? Maybe because the silence is too loud. Or maybe because seeing Hugh and Sutton parading around town hurts too much to ignore. They mingle with the same friends. The same circles. It feels like a wound being picked at daily. One insider called it “painful and humiliating.” To watch them flaunt a romance built on what many believe was an affair. While living in the same zip code. Literally.
“At this point, it feels like a check-box exercise. To put an end to awkwardness.”
Jackman is reportedly bristling too. He’s angry about friends choosing sides. Ignoring him. Like at that recent Met Gala where Nicole Kidman reportedly froze both him and Sutton out. Ouch. It hurts. And Jackman notices.
Let’s rewind slightly. The separation announcement came in September 2023. Twenty-seven years of marriage. Then came the cryptic divorce filing in May 2025. Furness didn’t sugarcoat things then either. She mentioned betrayal. Called it a profound wound. Spoke of healing and a higher power working for them. Whatever that means.
Did Hugh and Sutton talk about this? Never. Affair rumors from 2022. From their Broadway days in The Music Man. They’ve stayed quiet. Silent on the record.
But the drama won’t stop. It never does.
Furness wants a conversation now. A “much-needed peace.” Will Foster show up? Will they actually find peace or just more tension in a quiet room? We’ll see. Probably soon.
