Hugh Jackman’s Ex-Wife Reportedly Wants ‘Closure’ as She Makes a Demand to Sutton Foster After Rumors of the Co-Stars’ Affair
Rumors of bad blood between Hugh Jackman and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, may soon be a thing of the past.
According to a May 18 report from New Idea, Deb is finally prepared to face the situation and sit down with Jackman’s new girlfriend, actress Sutton Foster. Sources claim that Deb hopes the meeting will bring some “much-needed peace” to everyone involved.
“This isn’t about Deb being angry or wanting to read Sutton the riot act,” one source said. “It’s about closure.”
For a long time, Deb reportedly refused to be in the same room as Foster, but now, she feels an honest conversation with the couple is necessary to move past the tension and finally say how she truly feels about Jackman’s alleged “betrayal.”
Insiders told New Idea that Jackson and Foster were “taken aback” by Deb’s invitation, but they are open to meeting with her to clear the air and turn the page.
This follows a report claiming Jackman is reportedly blaming Deb for his alleged Hollywood isolation. A source previously told Globe that the Deadpool & Wolverine star is “becoming increasingly angry over the feeling that more and more people in Hollywood are quietly turning against him.”
“He blames Deb for it 100% and says there’s been a steady drip of poison behind the scenes from her and her camp,” the source continued, adding that Jackman’s also convinced that his famous friends, including Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, are “ditching him for Deb.”
Jackman has reportedly urged Deb to “stop stirring the pot,” especially since the ongoing situation is said to be impacting Foster’s career and public image.
“He’s very protective of Sutton and says it’s incredibly unfair that she’s being frozen out and judged by people who used to happily socialize with her,” an insider explained to Globe. “He says things have spiraled way beyond a normal breakup now and turned into a coordinated effort to isolate them socially. He’s furious and says he’s no longer prepared to just sit back quietly and take it.”
