Hugh Jackman’s plans with ex-wife spark drama with Sutton Foster
Hugh Jackman’s relationship with Sutton Foster is reportedly facing strain as the actor prepares to spend the Christmas holidays in Australia with his former wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, and their children.
According to RadarOnline.com, Jackman has decided to return home for the holiday period in order to provide stability for his family following a difficult divorce. However, the choice has left Foster disappointed. “Hugh is adamant this is no reflection on how he feels about Sutton, but people close to her say she’s crushed,” a source explained.
The insider explained that Jackman considers the visit important for his children, Oscar and Ava, who have experienced significant disruption since their parents’ separation. They added that Jackman believes spending Christmas together will help restore a sense of normalcy. According to the outlet, “Now that he and Deb are finally on good terms again, Hugh wants to give the kids a taste of normalcy. They have so many holiday traditions and as hard as it will be for Sutton to miss out, Hugh feels it will be the best thing for his kids.”
The source reported that Jackman’s feelings for Foster remain strong, but he is also concerned about his children’s well-being.
Jackman and Foster seemingly confirmed their relationship in early 2025, following months of speculation and photos of them holding hands in Los Angeles. They later made their red carpet debut in October 2025, when Foster accompanied him to the AFI Fest premiere of Song Sung Blue in Los Angeles.
