The actor “Wolverine” has been romantically related to his “Music Man” Sutton Foster co -star since last year. Foster and Jackman made public with their romance in January after they were seen in a dinner date in Los Angeles.

A source affirmed Us Weekly in November 2024 that Foster’s relationship and Jackman is the “reason why Hugh and Debe divorced” after rumors circulated that the couple had approached while starring Broadway production.

“Many people in Broadway knew it, and we kept it silent because both are very pleasant and large people,” the source alleged. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an adventure and an overlap.”

Neither Furness nor Jackman have publicly confirmed the reason behind their divorce.

Foster requested her husband’s divorce, Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after 10 years of marriage.
