Grab your popcorn because Broadway isn’t just delivering drama on stage—it’s spilling over into real life, and it’s getting messy.
The latest buzz? A rumored love triangle involving Sutton Foster, Hugh Jackman, and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness
Looks like Hugh Jackman might be stepping into his happily-ever-after era, this time with a leading lady who’s got him completely smitten.
The tea? Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s rumored relationship has been anything but simple.
Following reports of an alleged affair that raised more than a few eyebrows, the Broadway duo seems to be keeping things low-key instead of going official, TheyGossip.com reports.
Let’s rewind: Last month, Sutton Foster filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, which reignited whispers about her alleged romance with her Music Man co-star, Hugh Jackman.
ICYMI, Jackman, and Furness announced their separation last fall, ending their 27-year marriage.
While Jackman and Foster haven’t publicly addressed the rumors, Deb seems to have some thoughts—and she’s not keeping them all to herself.
Sources claim that Jackman and Foster are now in a “full-blown relationship,” and the timeline is sus.
They allege that Foster is the reason Jackman and Furness split, with one insider spilling, that there was an affair and overlap.
A lot of people on Broadway knew, but everyone respected their privacy because both are such nice people.
Deborra-Lee Furness’s Insta Moves
Deb isn’t saying much, but her Instagram activity is doing a lot. After news of Sutton’s divorce hit, she liked a post from gossip blogger Tasha Lustig, who accused Jackman of blindsiding her with the alleged affair.
Lustig’s post got even spicier when Deb’s friend, Amanda de Cadenet, chimed in with a comment that read, “You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow-up any moment fyi!”

Revenge dress era incoming? Fingers crossed.
Did Hugh and Debora Divorce Because of Sutton
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’s divorce after 27 years of marriage reportedly stemmed from Jackman’s alleged affair with his Music Man co-star, Sutton Foster.
The overlap between Jackman’s relationships with Furness and Foster is said to have caused significant strain.
Insiders claim that Jackman’s connection with Foster played a key role in the split. The situation was described as a poorly kept secret within the Broadway community, with Furness reportedly being the last to learn about it.
