Sutton Foster ‘has been very supportive’ amid Hugh Jackman’s drama with ex, ‘source’ claims
Hugh Jackman’s new rumored girlfriend, Sutton Foster, has remained by his side amid the divorce drama with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, a new report has claimed. Us Weekly exclusively learned from a source that the 50-year-old star has been “very supportive.” The insider noted that Jackman is “still with” Foster and added they are “trying to navigate this delicately.”
Amid the divorce drama, Jackman has been reportedly “leaning on close friends and focusing more on work to get him through it.” The source stated the 56-year-old Australian actor is “trying to handle it with as much dignity as possible,” since it is “hard to unravel 30 years of a relationship.” They added that Jackman “wants to respect Deborra-Lee and not intentionally hurt her.”
According to Us Weekly, Jackman and Foster began dating while the former was still married to Furness. Meanwhile, Furness took a swipe at her estranged husband. This was following her filing for divorce in May, two years after announcing their split. In a statement released to the Daily Mail, she said, “My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal.”
Furness also shared that it is a “profound wound that cuts deep.” However, the actor noted that she believes in a “higher power” that is “always working FOR us.” She continued in the statement, “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.” On the other hand, the Us Weekly source revealed that Jackman feels “heartbroken” that his ex-wife is “feeling this way.” Nonetheless, the Marvel star “hopes time will heal wounds.”
