AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman, 56, has been spotted attending a performance of Sutton Foster's "Once Upon a Mattress" at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre. He was seated beside comedy legend Carol Burnett, the original performer of the role that Foster now plays in the musical.
This outing comes amid a flurry of affair speculation involving Jackman and Foster, which allegedly contributed to Jackman's separation from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, in September 2023. Furness is believed to have discovered the rumors through social media posts and comments.
It remains unclear when the alleged affair began, but Jackman and Foster previously starred together in the Broadway production of "The Music Man" from February 2022 to January 2023. Foster has also filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024.
A source close to Foster has claimed, "Sutton and Hugh's relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb [separated]. A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people."
Jackman and Foster have not publicly addressed the rumors. However, sources close to Furness have expressed shock and disappointment over the alleged affair, particularly given her longtime marriage with Jackman and their two adopted children.
Amid divorce from their respective partners, Jackman and Foster have been supportive of each other's careers.
The alleged affair and subsequent divorce proceedings have attracted significant media attention and have raised questions about the personal lives of the involved parties. It is likely that further details will emerge in the coming weeks and months.
