Attempts to add new comments on another recent post, made a week ago, are met with the warning 'Comments on this post have been limited.'
Comments remain active on other posts, including one from May which is inundated with abusive messages from trolls regarding Sutton's relationship with Jackman.
It comes after reports that tensions have reportedly risen between Jackman and n Foster as the Aussie actor attempts to integrate his new partner into the family.
The 56-year-old Wolverine star is eager for the actress to develop a relationship with his adopted children — Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19 — who he shares with ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, according to Woman's Day.
However, Sutton, who also shares adopted daughter Emily, seven, with ex-husband Ted Griffin, is said to have 'begged Hugh to stop forcing the situation ' while in the midst of his divorce with Deborra-Lee, 69, the magazine reported.
'It was Oscar's birthday recently and Ava's is coming up in July and Hugh couldn't see an issue with wanting to include 'his other half',' the insider told the outlet.
They went on to say Sutton is more anxious about the meeting and believes it should wait until the divorce has been finalised and everything has settled down.
'Although she's open to it eventually, she knows they all need a little more time,' the source added.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Hugh and Sutton's representatives for comment.
Hugh was recently spotted in public for the first time since Deborra-Lee opened up about her feelings of 'betrayal' in a blistering statement to the Daily Mail.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee's split appeared to turn bitter when she spoke about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' in the wake of her divorce filing last month.
'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she said.
'It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.'
She continued: 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.
'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose.
'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.'
She concluded her statement with the 'one thing' she has learned, which is 'that none of this is personal.'
Hugh has yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source told the Daily Mail he had been left 'extremely disappointed' by Deborra-Lee's words as he believed they had an 'understanding' they would not publicly trash one another.
'There was no stipulation that she could not address this but there was an unwritten understanding that she would not trash him to the press,' an insider said.
'She got around this by not naming him - instead focusing on how she felt.'
