Hugh Jackman, the renowned actor best known for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men franchise, is at the center of an affair scandal that has stirred public attention. According to US Weekly on November 12, sources revealed that the reason behind Jackman’s 2023 divorce from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, was his alleged affair with Sutton Foster, his co-star in the Broadway musical The Music Man.
Sources claimed that both Jackman and Sutton were in separate marriages when their romantic involvement began. “The relationship between Sutton and Hugh was the reason for Hugh and Deb’s divorce. Many people on Broadway knew about it, but we stayed silent because both of them are kind and respectable individuals. However, it was still an affair with overlapping family commitments,” the source stated.
While Hugh Jackman has not addressed the rumors, his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, reportedly made subtle moves that many interpreted as a confirmation of the allegations.
