Hugh Jackman‘s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness had ‘suspicions’ about the actor working with Broadway star Sutton Foster in The Music Man.
It comes amid renewed rumors of a romance between the Wolverine actor, 56, and Foster, 49, following her split from her husband Ted Griffin, 53.
The Tony-winning Broadway star filed for uncontested divorce from the screenwriter, in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, Page Six reported.
Furness, 68, reportedly had concerns about the pair teaming up for the Broadway production in 2022 – a year before Jackman announced the end of their 27-year marriage.
‘Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Their relationship is not a secret to her.’

Hugh Jackman ‘s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness had ‘suspicions’ about the actor working with Broadway star Sutton Foster in The Music Man, an insider told DailyMail.com
Furness, who shares adopted children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, with Jackman will not address the recent speculation as she refuses to speak publicly about her ex.
‘Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative,’ the source explained. ‘She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh.
‘When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that happened during their marriage private.’
A second insider added: ‘Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official.
‘They aren’t going to shove it down everyone’s throat. They became close friends while working together and got to confide in each other over their individual troubles.’
They continued: ‘Hugh still has tremendous respect for Deborra-Lee. They have kids and that is what is important to them both. The are repairing what they can, and will never talk ill about each other.’
Jackman shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Furness last September.
‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ they shared at the time in a joint statement. ‘Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.’
Months later rumors began to swirl that Foster and Jackman had grown close, with insiders this week telling PageSix that they are now ‘in love.’
‘They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,’ an insider told the publication.
‘They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.

Foster pictured with Griffin and their adopted daughter Emily
Georgia native Sutton, whose drama career spans 30 years in theatre, film and TV, was previously married to Christian Borle from 2006 to 2009.
She married Griffin, whose credits include Ocean’s Eleven and The Wolf of Wall Street, in 2014. They share adopted daughter Emily, seven.
‘He belonged in my family,’ she told People of Griffin in 2018. ‘I didn’t really understand the concept of motherhood until he came around.’
Jackman is currently in the process of completing his upcoming tell-all memoir, which promises to drop major bombshells about his life.
Furness has remained relatively quiet since her split from the Prestige star but revealed she had ‘big plans’ for her post-breakup career and was embracing change, back in January.
She also told Australia’s The Daily Telegraph: ‘It’s exciting. You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it but I think it is probably our greatest gift.’
