‘Insensitive’: Hugh Jackman called out for a post made after his divorce

Deborra-Lee Furness has been left “extremely disturbed” by Sutton Foster’s behaviour, an insider has claimed.

Furness, 69, shocked the world when she made a bombshell statement last month, four days after she submitted paperwork to end her marriage with Hugh Jackman.

The statement, which allegedly took Jackman by complete surprise, revealed that their split had been anything but amicable.

In the months after their marriage broke down, reports began to emerge that Jackman’s new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, had previously made numerous attempts to befriend Furness.

It emerged that Jackman and Foster, who became close pals while co-starring on Broadway, had even pushed for double dates together.

Now the dust has settled, an insider has revealed that Furness has been left horrified looking back in hindsight.

“The fact that Sutton used to go on double dates and tried so hard to befriend Deb is extremely disturbing to her,” an insider told the Daily Mail.

The source went on to reveal that Furness has grown closer to Foster’s ex-husband, with the pair bonding over their shared heartbreak.

“She will never have anything to do with Sutton. Deb is friends with Sutton’s ex and they both share a deep sense of betrayal.”

“Deb knows that one day this will all come back around to the both of them,” added the insider of Furness’ current state of mind about Jackman and Foster.

The former couple, who share 25-year-old son, Oscar, and 19-year-old daughter, Ava, announced they were splitting “with gratitude, love and kindness” in September 2023.

It was confirmed the following year that Jackman had been quietly dating his Music Man co-star, Sutton Foster.

The pair was seen kissing in public for the first time in January.

Meanwhile, Jackman’s close friend, radio presenter Gus Worland, shared new insight on the situation in the wake of Furness’ statement.

“No one wants anyone to go through what [Jackman] is, and he is going through it publicly because of his fame,” Gus Worland recently said during a radio interview.

“One thing I have been really strict on is to let Hugh and Deborra-lee Furness do what they have had to do. I was over in New York with him last month and he is fine. He is going along well.”

Jackman’s close pal went on to share that he’s working hard behind the scenes to make things as smooth as possible between the two exes.

“I hope Deb does as well. They were together for 30 years and have two beautiful kids together,” he said. “I go to their kids and ask them what we can do to make sure they get through this as best as possible.”
