As per Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, Hugh Jackman ended his friendship with his close friend for leaking his secret romance with Sutton Foster. Sources told the outlet that the longtime choreographer friend leaked the news with his own publicist to generate attention for himself. One insider shared, “The call came from inside the house.” “Hugh and Sutton were incredibly discreet during The Music Man,” the individual continued.
However, “a few trusted people knew — and one of them decided to cash in.” After the dating news broke, Jackman ended up feeling suspicious. The source stated, “He knew Sutton would never.” The Marvel actor “convinced it came from a so-called friend desperate for headlines and a taste of the spotlight.” Moreover, this is not the first betrayal Jackman has faced.
A Broadway insider revealed, “Hugh’s been burned before.” Nevertheless, “this one hurts — this person wasn’t just a colleague, he was family.” A source shared that the 57-year-old is “tightening his circle. If you leak, you’re gone.” In the previous week, Sutton and Jackman had a date night in New York City. They attended Richard Marx’s After Hours Confessions at the Café Carlyle on Tuesday
The “Younger” actor was seen cuddling up to her boyfriend during a group picture with Marx and his wife, reflecting couple goals. Prior to his relationship with Sutton, Jackman was married to Deborra-Lee Furness. The two announced their separation in September 2023 and finalized their divorce this year. On the other hand, Sutton was previously married to Christian Borle and Ted Griffin. While she and Borle were divorced in 2009, the Broadway actor filed for a divorce from Griffin in October 2024.
