Hugh Jackman’s Shocking Split — The Real Reason Is Finally Revealed

When Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Jackman announced their separation in 2023, fans were stunned. After 27 years of marriage, two children, and what seemed like an unshakable bond, the beloved couple called it quits — leaving the public with one big question: What happened? Now, after months of speculation, new details have emerged.

Deborra-Lee Jackman and Hugh Jackman first crossed paths in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV series Corelli, and their connection was instant. At the time, Deb was a well-known actress, while Hugh was a rising star, newly graduated from drama school. Their relationship blossomed quickly, and they were married less than a year later.

The Australian couple, who have two children—Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19—were married for 27 years.

“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,” they shared in a statement.

A source close to Sutton Foster suggests that her alleged romance with Hugh Jackman was the reason for his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness. The year before Jackman announced his split, he and Foster starred together in the Broadway revival of The Music Man.

According to the source, “Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced.” The source also mentioned that Jackman and Foster are currently dating and are “really happy now.”

The insider explained that their friendship turned into a romantic connection during the 11-month run of the musical, while both were still married to other people. Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin on October 22.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made their first public appearance as a couple on January 6. They were seen enjoying a cozy dinner date in Los Angeles, strolling hand-in-hand. Jackman, 56, kept it casual in a dark jacket over a gray shirt and white jeans, while Foster, 49, who recently received acclaim for her Broadway revival and L.A. performance of Once Upon a Mattress, donned a tan trench coat over an olive-colored dress.

However, their relationship hasn’t been without its challenges. According to media reports, the couple is navigating long-distance struggles and packed work schedules. Jackman is currently filming The Death of Robin Hood in Ireland, while Foster is busy with her own projects back in the U.S.

There’s also been some buzz around Jackman’s scenes in a new stage production, which — according to rumors — hasn’t exactly thrilled Foster. Still, despite the hurdles, the couple is staying connected and doing their best to weather the bumps together. Because even in Hollywood, love takes work — and they both seem willing to fight for it.

Jason Momoa recently hit the red carpet with his new girlfriend, turning heads and sparking a fresh wave of buzz. Many fans were quick to point out that Momoa’s new flame bears a striking resemblance to his ex-wife, Lisa Bonet.
