Hugh Jackman's wife's decision to address co-star 'affair' and shrewd way she's done it

Hugh Jackman's estranged wife Deborra-Lee made a 'subtle' dig to hint at his alleged affair with actress Sutton Foster after being 'hurt' by his dishonesty

Hugh Jackman's wife appeared to make a dig at his alleged "affair".

Deborra-Lee is said to have been left "hurt" by his infidelity after Hugh was rumoured to have engaged in an affair with his co-star, Sutton Foster which was the "worst kept secret on Broadway" according to insiders. But earlier this week, Deborra made her feelings very clear as she took to social media following the scandal.

Hugh and Jessica had worked together on The Music Man which ran from February 2022 through til January 2023. Just months after the curtain call, he announced announced his separation from his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 68, in September last year and last month Sutton filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin, 53.

A source told Us Weekly: "Sutton and Hugh's relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced. A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap."

But Deborra is aid to have "liked" a video posted on social media by blogger Tasha Lustig which alleged that Hugh, 56, ran off "with the mistress" and was rumoured to be planning the "soft launch" of his and Jessica's relationship. Later on, Deborra's friend, Amanda de Cadenent commented: "You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!" The post was also liked by Deborra.

Meanwhile, a source told Us Weekly: "She has suspected Hugh of cheating on her and he adamantly denied it over and over. This is what would hurt the most." The source continued: "They based their marriage on honesty. But if Hugh didn't physically cheat, she knows that he did emotionally. Her liking a simple post is the most subtle thing she could do that would have the greatest impact and it cannot be proven in any way shape or form that it was a jab to him. It's left up to interpretation."

Hugh and Jessica have already attended public events together, famously looking loved-up during the opening night of The Music Man on Broadway. Reports claim that the pair are "really happy" and are said to be keen to have people know about their romance. Last year, Hugh and Deborra told fans: "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.

"Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."
