'Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer.' Some of which might have to do with Jackman's romance with his former 'The Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster. 'While he didn't physically cheat on her with Sutton,' the insider quipped, 'Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her.' Last year, rumors swirled that Jackman had possibly stepped out on his marriage with the 'Younger' alum, 50. 7 Hugh Jackman is seen Leaving 'Good Morning America' on May 19, 2025 in New York City.

In November, Furness allegedly 'liked' a post from her private Instagram account of gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claiming that the 'Deadpool & Wolverine' star had 'blindsided' her by sharing his relationship with Foster. The producer's pal, British media personality Amanda de Cadenet, also weighed in, writing in the comments section, 'You are on point with this one.

The source also noted that Foster and Jackman 'are really happy now.' 7 Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster attend the 75th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on June 12, 2022.

Horse racing: Harlech headlines Gerard's strong team in Te Rapa features
'If we got a good track, we'd race and if they were heavy, we'd put him aside. It looks like the track will be nice, probably the best track he's raced on all season.' The Group One performer will contest the KPMG Mile (1600m) on Saturday, where Hayley Hassman's 4kg claim has lessened his weight impost to a competitive 58kg. 'The weight is definitely a query, but he's got that for a reason,' Gerard said. 'He's done well down south, it hasn't been a fantastic season, but he's still top of the pops. 'We always thought this would be his last season, but he seems to be getting better and better, so we'll leave it up to him. He'll have a bit of a break at some stage, but he does lots of different things, going jumping, doing dressage and goes out and about all the time, the variety really works for him. 'It really depends on the weather, but being an older horse, I don't think he likes being out in the paddock that much and we've got some races up at Ruakaka on better tracks that could suit him.' Harlech's speedy stablemate Shoes also returned to the north recently, having collected a fourth placing in the Listed Timaru Stakes (1200m) during her travels. Gerard had also considered a spell for the Derryn mare, but a big performance to finish just short of progressive gelding Force Of Nature called for a change of plans. 'She's come home from being down south as well and we got a little bit of black-type, probably not the black-type we were looking for but things just didn't go right for her,' Gerard said. 'Then she raced super at Wellington, she was in it for a long way on the worst part of the track. 'She was pretty fired up when she got home and I thought she may be telling us it was the end of the season, but we gave her one more and she ran a beauty. 'I think she's gone forward since then, she's very well and the distance suits.' Kelly Myers will partner Shoes in the Jarvis Trading 1100. Gerard will have a sole representative at Ellerslie on Sunday, with well-performed maidener Kind Of Blue chasing that elusive first win in the Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series (1300m). 'She's just a little, slight filly that has taken time to mature,' Gerard said. 'She doesn't like a wet track, but with Ellerslie there, we still have options that are available. She's probably coming to the end of her season, but she looked like last start that she may be looking for the 1400m, where in the past we thought 1200 would be her limit. 'We've gone in the middle at 1300 so we'll see how she goes.'

Horse Racing: Cashla Bay has form, wet-track credentials for Te Rapa feature
'It was good to tick that box the other day at Matamata and hopefully she can get some black-type.' Cashla Bay will jump from barrier six on Saturday and will be ridden by veteran hoop Vinnie Colgan. 'It all sets up really nicely for her,' Forsman said. 'We have got a good, experienced rider in Vinnie on [her] and she has got the ability. 'The big thing with her is that she jumps and puts herself in the race and she can handle all track conditions. There's no reason why she won't have every chance. 'She has been up a fair while now and this has always been the target, and hopefully she can go well.' Forsman will also be represented in the race by Engine Of War, who will carry the silks of Australian micro-share syndicator MyRacehorse. The Circus Maximus gelding placed on debut over 1100m at Waverley last week, and Forsman is hopeful of a bold showing with that experience under his belt. 'He is a very capable horse, he just lacks experience,' Forsman said. 'We had to take him down to Waverley the other day without the benefit of a trial just to get his campaign going. 'He is a horse we think a lot of and I think he will make a nice horse into the spring of his 3-year-old year.' Engine Of War is the first horse Forsman has trained for MyRacehorse, and he said his future is likely to be in Australia post Saturday's run. 'They have just come on board and bought into him,' Forsman said. 'At this stage, I'd say his future lies in Australia.' On the undercard, stablemate Force Of Nature is a dual acceptor for the Modern Transport Group (1200m) and Peter Kelly-Bayleys 1400, with Forsman to decide on which race he will contest closer to Saturday. 'We put in a late nom for the 1200m, which came on the radar because of the smaller field size and he is probably better-weighted there,' Forsman said.
