Inside Hugh Jackman's new relationship after Deborra-lee 'betrayal' statement
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness' split has taken an unexpected turn with the Waiting actor opening up on her experience with 'betrayal.' The Wolverine star, 56, and his ex-wife, 69, announced their separation in September 2023, which appeared to be amicable. But Deborra has since seemingly hinted at adultery playing a part in their shock split, releasing a statement talking about 'betrayal' amid the breakdown of her 27-year marriage. An insider told MailOnline that Hugh was 'extremely disappointed' to read Deborra's statement just days after she filed for divorce. Since their split, Hugh has moved on with another actor, with reports suggesting they are set to move in together. Hugh confirmed he was dating Broadway star Sutton Foster 16 months after splitting from Deborra. Just days prior to the announcement, the X-Men icon was spotted watching the 50-year-old actor on stage in Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre. Their budding romance comes just months after Sutton filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Screenwriter Ted Griffin, in October 2024. It is thought that Hugh and Sutton first met after starring in the Broadway show The Music Man together in 2022. The pair both praised each other after starring together, with Sutton telling People in June 2024: 'He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar. I think everyone already knows that, though.' During a joint appearance with Sutton on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2022, Hugh also gushed: 'This is a six-time Tony nominee, two-time winner. Like, I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when you were like 4 years old. But I've watched everything she's done. It's amazing.' Sutton is best known as a Broadway actor who made her stage debut in 1996 in Grease as Sandy Dumbrowski. She has since had roles in Shrek the Musical, Anything Goes, and Thoroughly Modern Millie, which earned her her first Tony Award. Sutton has also made the move into the world of film and TV with roles in The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, and Younger. Like her ex-husband, Deborra is an actor who began her career in an unlikely fashion. She first got a job as an assistant to the news director at Channel 9 in Australia before being asked to work on the daytime current affairs programme No Man's Land. She first performed on the stage after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in the 80s before landing her first movie role in Shame in 1998. She went on to star in the likes of TV miniseries Stark and Michael Rymer's Angel Baby before landing the title role in the TV series Correlli in 1995. Hugh and Deborra-Lee first met on the set of Correlli and instantly became inseparable, with the Wolverine actor getting down on one knee just months later. Neither Hugh nor Deborra has publicly announced why the couple has split, but the latter recently hinted at infidelity in their relationship. Deborra spoke about 'navigating betrayal' in a statement released on May 28, just days after filing for divorce. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,' she began. '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 then specifically spoke about her 27-year marriage to Hugh, saying: '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 then added 'that none of this is personal,' and said: 'We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. 'We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognise and heal the broken parts of ourselves…I remain grateful,' she concluded her statement to MailOnline. Hugh has since responded to the statement, with an insider saying he was 'extremely disappointed.' 'Hugh was extremely disappointed after reading what his ex had said,' an insider told MailOnline. '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.' The insider suggested that Deborra 'got around' this agreement and added that Hugh 'caved' to her divorce requests. 'She got around this by not naming him – instead focusing on how she felt. 'Hugh knows that he cannot change anything, and it is unfortunate that Deb feels the way she did given the fact that he caved in to all of her divorce requests.' Announcing their separation in September 2023, the couple was amicable. 'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' their joint statement to People at the time read. 'Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.' More Trending '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.' Hugh and Deborra share two adopted children named Oscar, 25, and Ava, 19. Metro has reached out to representatives for Deborra-Lee Furness and Hugh Jackman for comment. Got a story?

Home of the Year' judge Hugh Wallace still four-years behind on his own dream home renovation
Celebrity architect Hugh Wallace, who loves nothing more than poking around complete strangers home, is somewhat lacking when it comes to putting his home affairs in order as the property show presenter is a full four years behind renovating schedule on his new abode. Home of the Year head judge Hugh, bought a doer-upper in the heartland of Dublin City Centre some years back, and despite having a wealth of experience and a top notch construction team on speed dial, Hugh is surprisingly tardy when it comes to completing his own grand design. 'We are a teeny tiny bit over time, Hugh told 'Well four years over time to be precise. It's terrible, there's really no excuse for that,' said Hugh. 'It's being plastered at the moment, so we are planning on moving in at the end of August.' And once Hugh steps foot inside his dream home he has no grand designs on stepping foot outside his new front door. 'So once we're in I'm going to lock the door and never come out,' he joked. But Hugh may some excuse for being so behind on renovating his inner city pad, as he has just signed off on a mammoth project that will radically regenerate Waterford City. 'Waterford has all the essence of a fabulous town. You have the bridges, the Opera House and all of the magnificent infrastructure. But there is only one bridge into the town so the project was to interlink the city and make everything far more accessible. 'It's all very well having envisioned the finished project but there are so many drawings and redrawing to get to that point. On the Waterford project it was as well, well in excess of 100 designs.' Pic: Seán Dwyer 'We have to examine the minutiae of documents and then we work closely with other consultants and with Harcourt Developments,' Hugh told 'But I am enormously proud of the plans and can't wait to bring it to life.' The multi-million Waterford project is set to get underway next year. 'Work will begin in the first quarter next year. That's when the bridge is going in and there will be a new pedestrian bridge across the river. Then there will be the new bus station; that will be an integrated bus station, then there's the train station and cycleway. 'There's only that one bridge now, and soon all of a sudden, you'll have the pedestrian bridge coming right into the centre of town. And that's just fabulous,' said Hugh. As one of Ireland's most feted architects, Hugh has notched up a plethora of gongs for his etchings and sketches's But he told if he had his way, he would like to fashion himself as the Miranda Priestly of the Devil Wears Prada fame- of the architectural sphere. New Home of the Year judge Siobhan Lam (left) with Hugh Wallace and Amanda Bone. Pic: RTÉ 'My day job in Wallace Architects is very different to being on the telly. I like to take all the credit in the office,' said a modest Wallace. 'I wave my arms around, and I thoroughly enjoy it, and I like to give inspiration to clients,' he said. 'I love the waving your arms around and being creative. You know, putting out ideas and clients thinking about and saying, 'No, that doesn't work for me' , Or, 'yes that's fabulous',' he laughed. 'The creative genius who kind of likes delegates.' Home of the Year judge Hugh Wallace. Pic: RTÉ And the flamboyant Great House Revival presenter will be back on screens in the new year with another instalment of Home of the Year and another outing of The Great House Revival.

A pair of Celtic sinners condemned to the one trick pony club as cracks appear on green and white armour
The Aberdeen defeat may have done Brendan Rodgers a favour in the long run as our man Hugh delivers his hard hitting verdict Aberdeen's Scottish Cup win should have had the same effect as smelling salts being waved under Brendan Rodgers' nose to clear his head. The manager's mind must have been scrambled by the lumbering, lackadaisical and lacklustre nature of his team's performance at Hampden. The weight of history was on their shoulders and, to a man, they collapsed under the strain. But Aberdeen may have done Celtic a favour in the long run by exposing their inadequacies. There was more than a party stage dismantled at Celtic Park after the defeat. The illusion of Celtic having adequate strength in depth to begin next season with a Champions League qualifier that will carry a £30m sidestake was also razed to the ground at the same time. I've said Adam Idah was testing the manager's ability to always improve the players he had under his charge. And more fall into that category. Nicolas Kuhn and Paulo Bernardo have to do more to avoid being categorised as a one-trick pony and a player who flatters to deceive. There are players who need to up their game or go to a less pressurised environment. Celtic's trophy haul has been astonishing in recent years, but cracks are appearing. The failure to win what would have been a historic ninth Treble was the source of celebration for the supporters of Celtic's rivals at Ibrox. But celebrating somebody else's failure when you've won nothing for yourself means it's time to up your own game. And that's exactly what Rangers will be doing under their American owners and different management ideas in the Ibrox dressing-room. When Celtic were asked to dig deep at Hampden they only found a gaping hole. Extensive work on filling the void has got to be done by the recruitment department to meet the demands of domestic and European competition. Players like Johnny Kenny and Yang shouldn't have been left to save the day in the extra time period of a cup final. The irony is supporters will now take their anger out on the manager in the time-honoured Brendan-baiting fashion. But it wasn't his tactics, team selection or substitutions that cost Celtic against Aberdeen. It was a failure to show up on the part of several players and the lack of a strong bench. That must be addressed as the team across the road on the other side of the city try to emerge from the shadows.

Watch: Scottish Vlogger Relishes Iconic Fish Kabiraji In Kolkata, Compares It To UK Dish
From its very own version of biryani to sweets like rasgulla and sandesh, Kolkata is a haven for all food lovers. Among the latest to join the list of the city's admirers is Scottish vlogger Hugh Abroad. Hugh could not stop raving about the food in the city, especially its famous fish kabiraji - a fried Bhekti fish served with onion salad, ketchup and mustard. The vlogger visited the Indian Coffee House to try the dish. Priced at just Rs 125, the dish looked "dyn-a-mite" to Hugh. Also Read: Canadian Woman Tastes Misal Pav, But Her Rating Is Not 10/10 The content creator found the dish "quite heavy and a little bit spicy." Talking about the mustard, Hugh said it gave a "nice kick" to the dish. He even compared it to the fish and chips he's used to eating back home. "I'm used to a beer batter, which is very crispy on the outside. But this is pretty soft and very bready." While it wasn't as flaky and soft as he expected, he rated it 7.5 out of 10. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hugh Abroad (@ Here is how Instagram users reacted to the viral video: "It's good to see that a foreigner is appreciating Kolkata more than any other Indian state," a user wrote. "The kabiraji name comes from 'coverage' because the outer layer is literally covered with eggs and deep fried, which is what makes it crispy yet soft," an account explained. Others had some food recommendations for Hugh. "Did you try phuchka in Kolkata?" a user asked, referring to the city's famous street food delicacy. "Try kochuri, please!!! Try Balaram Mullick's Radha Ballavi, baked rasgolla and Sri Hari's Langcha and kochuri too," a foodie recommended. "This is opposite my college!! So nostalgic right now," an account mentioned. People also had a lot to say about the Indian Coffee House. "Indian Coffee House is one of the iconic and oldest cafeterias in Kolkata(India). This place is still pocket-friendly for all. Once upon a time, this joint was a gathering house of eminent people. It's rather historical," a comment read. The clip was shared some weeks ago but it has continued to make the rounds online.

Meera Sodha's vegan recipe for squash and fennel agrodolce
Being in the business of recipe writing means I am always seeking the new, always moving on and rarely resting on a single dish. Until summer starts knocking, that is. The sun makes me want to slow down, and I find myself wanting a variation of vegetables agrodolce on repeat. Agrodolce is Italian for sour (agro) and sweet (dolce), which in my kitchen translates to a pile of meltingly soft vegetables, all slick with olive oil, sweet with onions, and cut with vinegar and capers. Often, this takes the form of my husband Hugh's oven-baked caponata, but I also love the comfort of squash and the liquorice sweetness of the cooked fennel here. Prep 15 minCook 40 min Serves 4 1 squash (1.1kg), halved, deseeded and cut into 1½cm dice8 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to finishFine sea salt 2 tbsp capers in brine, drained2 tbsp pine nuts 2 tbsp raisins 1 fennel bulb (300g), trimmed, halved and cut into ½cm-thick slices1 red onion, peeled and finely diced2 large tomatoes (300g), finely diced2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 30g mint, leaves picked, to get 15gGreek flatbreads, to serve Heat the oven to 240C (220C fan)/475F/gas 9, and line two medium baking trays (or one large tray) with greaseproof paper. Put the diced squash in a bowl, pour over three tablespoons of the oil, add a half-teaspoon of salt and toss to coat. Tip out evenly on the lined trays and roast for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through and nicely browned. Meanwhile, put two tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat and, once hot, add the drained capers and cook for five minutes, until they start to crisp up. Add the pine nuts and raisins, cook for a further two minutes, until the raisins puff up and the pine nuts brown, then tip into a bowl. Put the remaining three tablespoons of oil in the same pan, set it over a medium heat, then add the fennel, onion and three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, until soft. Add the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar, and cook for another eight minutes, until the mixture turns jammy. Fold in the roast squash and reheat, if need be, then stir through the mint. Top with the pine nut mixture and serve with grilled flatbreads.
