Hugh Jackman is said to be preparing to accept 'total responsibility' for the collapse of his marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness in New York ahead of their daughter Ava's 21st birthday this July, as tensions continue over long-running claims he became romantically involved with Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. According to a source told Globe Magazine, the 57-year-old actor now wants to draw a line under the bitter fallout and repair relations with his ex-wife for the sake of their family.
The news came after more than two years of speculation around the end of Jackman and Furness's nearly three-decade marriage. Rumours first gathered pace in 2023, when gossip columns suggested the pair's relationship had fractured after Jackman allegedly grew 'inappropriately close' to Foster, his younger Broadway co-star. The offstage chemistry reportedly spilled into real life, and by early 2025, Jackman and Foster, 51, had taken their relationship public, fuelling the sense that the marriage had not simply drifted apart.
