"Why break up a marriage like that?"- Netizens react as Debora-Lee Furness' close friend says Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster rumors are true
A close friend of actress Deborra-Lee Furness has recently opened up on the reports of the latter's ex-husband Hugh Jackman's alleged affair with Sutton Foster. The friend was identified as Amanda de Cadenet and she is currently a part of the entertainment industry. According to Page Six, she is also a photographer.
Notably, an Instagram video was posted by a blogger named Tasha Lustig, where she addressed Hugh Jackman's rumored affair. Tasha claimed that the Deception star left his wife after developing feelings for Foster when they collaborated on The Music Man on Broadway.
Amanda took to the comments section of the post to share her response after liking the post and wrote:
"You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI!"
Meanwhile, the representatives of Hugh Jackman alongside Deborra-Lee Furness and Sutton Foster have not made any comment so far. Hugh and Deborra split in September last year and were the parents of two adopted children, Oscar and Ava Eliot.
On the other hand, netizens reacted to Amanda's claims below a Reddit thread of r/popculturechat, which included a link to an article by Page Six. One of them wrote:
"Why break up a marriage like that?"
Users continued to respond below Tasha's post, with most of them expressing support for Deborra-Lee Furness. Apart from them, a user praised Hugh and Deborra for not paying attention to the "mess" that happened after the duo's divorce.
Insiders reveal more details related to Hugh Jackman's alleged affair
While confirming their divorce in 2023, Jackman and Deborra told People magazine in a joint statement that their family would always remain a priority and are willing to move on with "gratitude, love, and kindness." The statement also read:
"We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."
Before the reports of Hugh Jackman's affair with Sutton Foster went viral, the latter also separated from her husband Ted Griffin a month after Jackman and Deborra announced their divorce. A source for Page Six claimed at the time that Jackman and Foster were reportedly spending a lot of time together but preferred to keep the relationship away from public view.
As mentioned, Hugh and Sutton were featured together in The Music Man on Broadway between 2021 and 2023. The source additionally stated:
"They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together. They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it's common knowledge."
However, new details on the rumored affair came out after an insider for Sky News claimed last month that Deborra-Lee Furness was suspicious of Hugh Jackman's relationship with Sutton Foster before their divorce. Similar claims were made by a source for Daily Mail at the same time, adding that the alleged affair was never hidden from Deborra. The insider then referred to Deborra by saying:
"She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh. When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that happened during their marriage private."
Jackman and Deborra tied the knot in 1996 and the latter has various films and TV shows to her credit, including Evil Angels, Blessed, Special Squad, and Good Morning Australia.
