Hugh Jackman is struggling with family matters a year after splitting wife Deborra-Lee Furness, while his children, Oscar and Ava, deal with his relationship with Sutton Foster. According to sources, the siblings have found the change difficult, feeling torn about accepting Sutton while juggling their conflicting feelings
“The kids have had a hard time,” a source said. “They are trying to strike a balance between allowing Sutton to become a part of their father’s life and coping with guilt if they get too close. According to reports, Hugh hopes that the holidays go well so that the family can have a peaceful new year.
The Wolverine star and his children are holidaying in Australia, in his $12 million penthouse in North Bondi. Meanwhile, Sutton is performing in Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles. Reports further say that Hugh has gotten to know Emily, adopted daughter of Sutton, age seven, who affectionately calls him “Uncle Hugh.”
Deborra-Lee is said to be “seething with rage” about being blindsided by his new romance, while Hugh focuses on keeping the peace in the family. According to sources, Deb believes that Hugh and those who were aware of the affair but said nothing about it have deceived her.
According to reports, Hugh and Sutton’s love began while they were performing as Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man on Broadway. Following the opening night of the play in 2022, their relationship was made public. In October 2023, Sutton filed for divorce from Ted Griffin following the announcement of Hugh and Deborra-Lee’s split in September of the same year.
