Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster reportedly loaded suitcases into an SUV outside their NYC residence this week, and friends claim they have had enough of the drama around his bitter divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. The exit is allegedly about a relationship hitting a breaking point over a luxury West Village apartment. And as per a source, Jackman believes the social cold shoulder the couple is getting originates with his ex-wife.
Sutton Foster wants Hugh Jackman ‘as far removed from ex-wife as possible,’ per source
A source exclusively told Woman’s Day that Hugh Jackman believes Deborra-Lee Furness is the reason why “more and more people in Hollywood are quietly turning against him” after his relationship with Sutton Foster. Moreover, the insider claimed, “It’s not just Nicole [Kidman] – he’s now convinced Naomi Watts and Russell Crowe are ditching him for Deb too.”
After Kidman iced out Jackman and Foster at the 2026 Met Gala, Jackman is allegedly telling Furness to stop stirring the pot, with the source adding, “He’s very protective of her and says it’s incredibly unfair that she’s being frozen out by people who used to happily socialise with her.” Besides, Jackman has reportedly said that “this has spiralled way beyond a normal breakup” and “he’s no longer prepared to sit back and take it.”
Furthermore, Jackman and Furness’ West Village penthouse has been on the market since 2022. Priced originally at AU $57.5 million, it dropped to $41.5 million and still will not sell, and an insider told Woman’s Day, “Selling this place was supposed to be straightforward but it’s turned into a nightmare.”
They also claimed, “For Hugh it’s the final hurdle in getting serious with Sutton,” adding, “He knows Sutton’s holding out on setting a wedding date until he’s fully free.” The insider maintained that Sutton Foster wants Hugh Jackman “far removed from” Deborra-Lee Furness, noting that “It’s a deal breaker for her.”
