Resurfaced photos show Hugh Jackman's 17-year history with new girlfriend Sutton Foster as his divorce from ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness turns nasty
Resurfaced photos show that Hugh Jackman and his new girlfriend Sutton Foster were long-time friends for almost two decades before going public with their romance in January. The couple's relationship is currently under the spotlight amid the Aussie actor's messy divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. One picture taken from way back in December 2008 captured the pair happily posing together at The Broadway Theatre in New York City as they attended the Shrek musical. Hugh, 56, and fellow Broadway star Sutton, 50, beamed from ear-to-ear as they cuddled up together, 16 years before they began dating. They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014.

They also put on a very intimate display when they publicly danced together at The 68th Annual Tony Awards in New York in June 2014 The pair were seen leaning into each other as they performed an elegant waltz for fellow A-list guests. During the dance, they seemed to share intense chemistry, years before their friendship blossomed into a romance. This week Hugh shared a very telling post after his ex-wife Deborra-Lee broke her silence on her divorce from her husband of 27 years. The Greatest Showman star took to social media on Wednesday to post a clip of him nailing a skipping routine in his show Hugh Jackman Live From New York With Love, which he's performing at Radio City Music Hall. However, it was the clip's chosen background track - NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye - that raised eyebrows considering the recent divorce developments. The video, which was posted to his 34.1 million followers, is clearly a reference to Deadpool & Wolverine, the 2024 movie that he filmed with Ryan Reynolds which features the hit song. However the timing of the post - as well as its one word caption of 'Finally' - made it all the more cryptic. The video was posted the same day that Deborra-Lee took a swipe at her estranged husband amid the flurry of rumours that he cheated on her with his current girlfriend Sutton. Hugh and Sutton confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles Following her decision to officially file for divorce from the Les Miserables star two years after announcing their separation, the Australian actress, 69, addressed her heartbreak in an exclusive statement to '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 said. 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.' Despite Hugh and Sutton only going public with their relationship in January, rumours are already circulating that public scrutiny is beginning to come between the couple. 'It's always hard dating in the public eye... but when you add their whole backstory and what they've put on the line as far as their reputations, the pressure rises,' an insider recently told Life and Style magazine. They added the pair were finding it challenging to keep the romance alive due to work commitments, including Hugh spending several months in Ireland to film a movie. 'Being apart for an extended period of time can be tough on any couple. There's a lot of harsh judgement about them online,' the source said. However, the couple, who were first romantically linked in October last year, are said to be 'madly in love', according to US Weekly. They ran in the same theatre circles for years, but only became friends after working together on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man while they were both with their former partners. The pair confirmed their relationship in early January after stepping out for a romantic date night in Los Angeles.

Hugh Jackman's ex Deborra-Lee Furness details 'traumatic journey of betrayal' as she files for divorce
Hugh Jackman's ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness has spoken out about feeling 'betrayed' following their split. The Australian actress, 69, officially filed for divorce from the Wolverine star, 56, last week after they announced their separation in 2023 following 27 years of marriage. Jackman appeared to confirm his romance with his former theatre co-star Sutton Foster, 50, in January, with the pair spotted holding hands while leaving a date in Los Angeles after months of speculation. Furness submitted a divorce filing in New York on May 25 after they reportedly agreed on a 'handsome spousal support payment' for their two grown-up children. She discussed the 'traumatic' breakdown of their marriage on Tuesday, telling the Daily Mail: 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. '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. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.' She added that she has gained 'knowledge and wisdom' during their split and 'remains grateful' after processing that 'none of this is personal'. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom,' the producer said. The Standard has contacted Jackman's representative for comment. Furness and The Greatest Showman actor announced their separation in September 2023, saying in a statement: "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." They met in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was an established actress, and he was enjoying his first role after drama school. The duo got engaged four months later and married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996. They adopted their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000 and adopted daughter Ava, 19, in 2005. Jackman and Foster met in 2008 when she was starring in a Broadway production of Shrek. The pair became Broadway co-stars in a year-long revival of The Music Man in 2022. They grew close during the year-long run of the production, with Foster telling Vogue in 2022: 'He disarms everyone, and he doesn't make anything about him. He's now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise'. Foster said the pair spent Memorial Day together with each other's families that year. Rumours began swirling that Jackman and Foster were romantically linked in January 2024, after Jackman was spotted in the audience of Once Upon a Mattress, a play she starred in. In October 2024, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of a decade, the screenwriter Ted Griffin.
