Deborra-Lee Furness reacts to Hugh Jackman's new relationship
After months of speculation that Hugh Jackman and his The Music Man co-star, Sutton Foster, were together, the pair finally went public with their romance last week where they were spotted holding hands after an intimate dinner.
Now, a little over a year after Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness announced their divorce, a source close to Furness has revealed her surprising reaction to the news.
“Deborra-Lee feels a sense of relief to be honest with you,” the source told Daily Mail.
The source added that the 68-year-old had her suspicions and was repeatedly told the pair were just friends.
“She has been plagued with suspicions. She was told it wasn’t true, and that they were nothing more than close friends who worked together.
“But something in her heart told her that this was not true.
“She trusted her intuition and her intuition was right. She finally feels at ease after getting confirmation that her fears and suspicions were warranted.
“She can now fully close this chapter and move on.”
Jackman and Furness announced their divorce in September 2023, after 27 years of marriage.
On October 22 2024, Foster filed for "uncontested divorce" from her screenwriter husband Ted Griffin.
“They are 100 per cent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source previously told Page Six of Jackman and Foster's relationship.
The pair have starred alongside each other in the Broadway show The Music Man from 2022 to 2023.
