As the excitement builds for the 2025 Tony Awards, Broadway’s buzz isn’t just about the stage — it’s about one of the industry’s most talked-about personal stories. Hugh Jackman, known for his iconic performances on Broadway and in Hollywood, is at the center of tabloid speculation involving his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, and his former Music Man co-star Sutton Foster.
Last week, Furness officially filed for divorce after nearly three years of separation, ending a 27-year marriage that many once saw as rock-solid. According to Page Six, the filing marked the formal end of a long and private split.
Soon after, Australian outlet New Idea reported that Jackman has “all but moved in” Sutton Foster to the New York City penthouse he once shared with Furness. Although neither Jackman nor Foster have confirmed these claims, the rumors have only intensified, especially with past reports of the pair being seen together romantically.
Deborra-Lee Speaks Out
Furness broke her silence in a candid Daily Mail interview, describing her heartbreak as “a profound wound that cuts deep.”
- “My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said. “I believe in a higher power — whether it’s God or the universe — and that it’s always working for us.”
Furness’s reflections offer a deeply personal look into the emotional toll of divorce — a process that affects millions annually. For those facing similar struggles, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services offers mental health support resources through mentalhealth.gov.
The Backstory: Love, Divorce, and Broadway Rumors
The rumored romance between Jackman and Foster gained traction last year when Foster filed for divorce from her husband of ten years, screenwriter Ted Griffin. Since then, the pair have been spotted enjoying each other’s company — from casual strolls in NYC to low-key dinners on the West Coast.
According to New Idea, Furness is reportedly devastated by rumors that Foster has moved into the home she once shared with Jackman — a place she says holds deep emotional value.

Despite her pain, Furness is focusing on healing and gratitude. In her statement, she expressed hope:
- “We are drawn to people to learn lessons, to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves. I remain grateful.”
What’s Next for Jackman and Sutton Foster?
Neither Jackman nor Foster has addressed the cohabitation rumors publicly. With the 2025 Tony Awards just around the corner, many are wondering if the two will make a red carpet debut — or continue to keep their relationship under wraps.
As the headlines keep coming, the situation remains a mix of speculation and emotional complexity. Whether you’re a Broadway fan, a relationship observer, or someone navigating divorce yourself, this story is a reminder of how public and private lives can dramatically collide.
