EXCLUSIVE The subtle red flags that 'disturbed' Hugh Jackman's ex... now she knows the truth was hiding in plain sight
Hugh Jackman 's new lover Sutton Foster attempted to befriend his wife in the run up to their shock divorce by going on double dates with the couple. Deborra-Lee Furness suspected that Foster was having an emotional affair with her husband and was left 'disturbed' by her attempts to befriend her, the Daily Mail can reveal. But the Australian actress is taking comfort that the pair's actions, will 'all come back around to them', according to an insider. Furness, 69, and Jackman, 56, announced their split in a statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were 'shifting' and as a result had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth'. Rumors soon followed of a romance between Jackman and Foster, with the Music Man co-stars later confirming they were an item in January, with what fans deemed a staged picture of them leaving a Los Angeles restaurant hand-in-hand. Furness is said to be livid at Foster for trying to get close to her, and believes she should take accountability for the break down of her marriage to the Wolverine star, with whom she has adopted children Oscar, 25, and daughter Ava, 19. 'The fact that Sutton used to go on double dates and tried so hard to befriend Deb is extremely disturbing to her,' an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail. 'She will never have anything to do with Sutton. 'Deb is friends with Sutton's ex and they both share a deep sense of betrayal.' Foster was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin from 2014 until 2024. They are parents to adopted daughter Emily, seven. Furness 'cannot forgive' Foster, who starred in Younger and Bunheads, because she feels she 'played a role in the breakdown of her marriage' and believes the Broadway star 'should take accountability for this.' 'Deb released her statement and is now focusing on moving forward with her life,' our insider said. 'She has done the work that she needs to not allow this to hold her back from living or falling in love again. Deb knows that one day this will all come back around to the both of them.' Furness previously opened up about her feelings of 'betrayal' in a blistering statement to Daily Mail, which read: '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.' Jackman has yet to release his own statement on the split, but a source previously told Daily Mail he had been left 'extremely disappointed' by the her words, as he believed they had an 'understanding' they would not publicly trash one another. Foster has also remained silent, and desperately avoided questions about her love life as she flew solo at the annual Drama Desk Awards in New York on Sunday night. But that didn't stop actor Michael Urie, who played Foster's on-stage lover in Broadway production Once Upon a Mattress, from lifting the lid on the new relationship. 'I mean, she's my colleague and my friend, and I love her and I know that she's a really great person and she surrounds herself with really good people, like, all the time,' 44-year-old Urie said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail. Directly addressing Foster's romance with Jackman, he added: 'I believe in her and I believe that she's happy.' But their happy union could be tested as rumors abound that Furness is preparing to drop a tell-all book about her relationship with Jackman. Last week the Daily Mail revealed the actress 'has been flooded with very tempting book offers' and offered 'huge amounts' to blow the lid off their marriage and spill intimate details about their time together, including weathering persistent rumors about his sexuality. The Daily Mail has approached Furness, Jackman and Sutton's representatives for comment.

Woman Wonders If She Should Tell Her 18-Year-Old Younger Brother That Their Dad Cheated on Their Mom
A woman is facing a difficult dilemma amid her parents' divorce The 21-year-old shared on Reddit that her 18-year-old brother blames their mom for "ruining the family" because she had a brief emotional affair that led to the divorce But the Redditor knows something her brother doesn't — her dad had a physical affair first — and she wonders whether she should tell him "the real version of what happened"A woman is unsure if she should tell her younger brother "the real version" of what led to their parents' divorce. The 21-year-old woman shared her story in a post on Reddit's "Am I the A------" forum, explaining that her parents split three years ago and are in the process of divorcing. Since the separation, her 18-year-old brother has been living with their mom, and she has been residing with her dad. "Both my parents are very tense and are not civil during these proceedings," the OP (original poster) noted of the current state of affairs. When the couple announced their divorce, the OP learned that it was precipitated by her mom having "an emotional affair for a few months." Her brother now blames their mom for "ruining the family," and he is no longer speaking to her. The OP's father is also blaming his estranged wife for breaking up their family and is "one of the driving reasons" why her brother and mother's relationship has fractured. But, according to the OP, her teen sibling doesn't know the full story. "I know that my dad had a physical affair before this occurred and had heard him and his [affair partner] being physical in the house while my mother was home. However, my dad does not know this information, or that I know he has cheated," she revealed. Now, the OP is grappling with whether or not to tell her younger brother "the real reason our family fell apart." Seeking advice from fellow Redditors, she went on to share a few details that warrant consideration. She said the divorce is causing considerable "financial stress" for her parents, particularly her mom, who "could lose lots of money." In addition, she continued, "My mom is aware I know of the affair but is worried about any implications of telling anyone." Making the situation even more sticky for her mom, the OP said, many people who have "chosen" her dad's side in the divorce are aware of the affair.

In the comments section, many readers told the OP that her brother deserves to know the truth. "I'd normally say stay out of relationship issues that aren't yours, but your parents have made their mess your problem, and it is now affecting your relationship with your brother. A child has no moral obligation to lie to protect their parent, especially when it comes at the cost of their relationship with their sibling," one person wrote. "Absolutely tell your brother the truth," another agreed. "Your dad is using this to gaslight EVERYONE." Another commenter suggested that the OP tell her brother with their father present. "Tell dad and brother together — that way dad can't lie, and brother has the full story," they wrote. "For your peace of mind, you have to say something before there is a divide so wide it cannot be repaired. And it will possibly minimize the hurt your brother will feel when he learns you knew this and kept it from him," the same person added. Others, however, urged the OP to tread carefully for the sake of her mother's "peace" and "position" amid the divorce proceedings. "I completely understand your urge to tell your brother. Both so he has all the information, to show the hypocrisy of your dad, and to encourage his relationship with your mum," someone wrote. "But if telling him now hurts your mum, costs her her peace, her time, her money during the divorce — hold fire. Protect your mom by keeping receipts, and tell [your brother] once your mom is clear of proceedings." Read the original article on People
