Deborra-Lee Furness’ ‘beloved friend’ makes surprise comment about Hugh Jackman split

A close friend of Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has seemingly claimed one rumour about their surprise split is true.

A friend of Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, seemingly claimed the rumours of his affair with Sutton Foster are true.

British actress and photographer Amanda de Cadenet appeared to make the bombshell claim in the comments section of an Instagram video alleging Jackman left his wife for Foster after the two fell in love while starring together in The Music Man on Broadway.

“You are on point with this one,” de Cadenet claimed in response. “My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI !”

Page Six reached out to reps for Jackman, Foster and Furness for comment.

Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, were both married when they began starring in The Music Man in 2021. The show closed in January 2023.

In September 2023, the Deadpool & Wolverine star and Furness, 68, announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. They share two children who were adopted.

At the time, a source told Page Six the Wolverine actor was “devastated” by the split.

In October, Page Six exclusively reported Foster, 49, filed for divorce from her husband, Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, after a decade of marriage.

That same month, an insider told Page Six that she and Jackman are “in love” but keeping their romance under wraps.

Another source previously told us they are “100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.”

In 2022, the Younger star raved about Jackman in an interview with Vogue as she recalled how they quickly became close friends while working together.

“He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest-working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true,” Foster gushed.

“He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him,” she added.

Before The Music Man opened for previews in December 2021, Jackman praised Foster on Instagram by saying the show would be “nothing” without her.

“You’re an exceptional talent and friend,” he added. “Your joy brings the entire company of @musicmanbway to life.”
