Hugh Jackman is immersed in a new scandal after his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, hinted that an affair between Jackman and his former Music Man co-star, r, was the reason behind their separation in September 2023.
It all began in March 2020, when Jackman and Foster started working on Jerry Zaks' Broadway revival of the 1957 musical. They later reunited from February 2020 to January 2023, playing the lead roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man.
Everyone knew, except of her
An exclusive source spoke to 'US Weekly' about the situation, making impactful statements:
"Sutton and Hugh's relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb separated. A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are such nice people. Hugh's entire image is that he's the nicest guy in Hollywood, so he doesn't know how to handle this."
Everyone looked the other way and kept the situation from his now ex-wife, Deborra-Lee, because "everyone respected their privacy."
Another source told 'DailyMail.com' that although no one informed Deborra-Lee, she "had her suspicions once Jackman and Foster started working together. Deborra-Lee was blindsided when she discovered the affair during the show's run," they said.
Hugh Jackman ended a 27-year marriage, leaving behind two adopted children and many memories and moments with ex-wife Deborra-Lee.
