Insiders Reveal How Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster’s ‘Snog Show’ Has Affected Deborra-Lee Furness
While Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have been all over town showing off their blossoming love, it seems it may be pushing Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness’ buttons. In fact, insiders claim Jackman may have crumbled their peace talks and is taking this romance too far, especially during divorce proceedings.
Insiders recently told New Idea Magazine that Furness is feeling the pressure after Jackman and Foster’s red carpet outing, and it’s causing a lot of pressure.
“That’s hard for Deb to see, even two years after they split,” they said, adding that Jackman and Foster being around Furness’ pals is adding insult to injury. “They’re all her old friends too… to hear they were all singing Sweet Caroline together is just too much. She feels like she’s being rubbed out by people she was really close to.”
New Idea also claims that Hugh’s plans to bring Sutton to Australia over the Christmas holidays was the final straw for his ex-wife.
The outlet then claimed that Jackman’s plans to bring Foster to Christmas with Furness and the kids was the final straw. “He’s out of his mind. Deb agreed to a truce last October hoping for a peaceful family Christmas that the kids can enjoy. She can’t win,” the insider said. “Hugh’s expecting way too much and Deb has made it crystal clear she doesn’t want the Hugh and Sutton snog show anywhere near her.'” (For our American readers, snog basically means amorous kissing!)
For those who don’t know, Jackman and Foster’s relationship allegedly began as an affair in 2022, while they were working together on The Music Man on Broadway. They had met over a decade prior, in 2008, when they saw Shrek on Broadway.
Per a bombshell November 2024 report in Us Weekly, Jackman and Foster’s alleged affair seemingly caused his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. “Deborra-Lee was blindsided when she found out about the affair through the run of the show,” one source alleged. “I think many people were shocked [Jackman] could do this to her.”
But in Oct 2025, the pair made their red carpet debut!
