Hugh Jackman is making no secret of his new romance with Sutton Foster, who he was rumored to have had an affair with while he and Deborra-Lee Furness were still together. And now it seems Deborra-Lee is slowly “rebuilding her life” after being “blindsided” by their alleged affair.
The Greatest Showman actor, 56, and the Younger actress, 50, reportedly fell in love while they were working on The Music Man on Broadway in 2022, despite still being with their respective partners. Hugh and Deborra-Lee were married for 27 years before they split (although they’re not officially divorced yet) while Sutton was married to Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin for almost ten years, before filing for divorce at the end of last year.

"Deb is currently rebuilding her life and taking a vacation to Bhutan to start fresh and get away from the pain," an insider told Us Weekly.

The Australian actress and producer was reportedly angry and blindsided when she found out about Jackman and Foster's romance; and she was particularly disappointed with Hollywood pals Ryan Reyolds and Blake Lively, because they "kept quiet" about their relationship.
"They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh," an insider previously told RadarOnline, adding: "Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know. Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it!"

Hugh Jackman And Deborra-Lee Furness Are 'At An Impasse' Over Their $250M Fortune
As we mentioned earlier, Hugh and Deborra-Lee haven't finalized their divorce yet, with The Daily Mail reporting that they are at an "impasse" over their $250M fortune. And Deborra-Lee is reportedly using her ex's alleged infidelity to her advantage!
"Deborra-Lee feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer," an insider shared, adding: "With a significant amount of money at stake, Deborra-Lee is determined to get what she believes she deserves from the separation. She is using the fact that Hugh is still married and involved with another woman against him."
We think this divorce is going to be a tricky one, as the couple didn't sign a prenup! "When they got married, they thought it would be forever," an insider shared, while adding: "Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry. It may even get messy because the stakes are high."
