Hugh Jackman has been making headlines lately, with reports swirling about his romantic entanglements. A source told Us Weekly that Jackman’s relationship with Sutton Foster was the main factor behind his divorce from his ex-wife, Deb. According to the insider, their affair was known within Broadway circles but kept hush-hush out of respect for their privacy.
In a post by gossip blogger Tasha Lustig, it was claimed that Jackman had blindsided Deb by running off with his mistress, which was corroborated by a comment from Deb’s friend, Amanda de Cadenet. Shortly after, Sutton Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, and sources revealed her intention to pursue a relationship with Jackman.
Despite the drama, Foster has only had positive words for Jackman, describing him as a great guy and incredible costar who taught her how to be a leader. Rumors about their romance have been circulating for a while, with an anonymous source quoted by InTouch calling it an “open secret” in the Broadway community.
The saga began back in December 2021 when previews of The Music Man started, and Jackman and Foster began praising each other in interviews and on social media. The relationship culminated in Jackman and Deb announcing their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, Jackman and Foster seem to be going strong. Only time will tell what the future holds for this Broadway power couple.
