A rumored love triangle is taking over Broadway, and it’s getting messy on Instagram. Last month, Sutton Foster filed for divorce from Ted Griffin, her husband of ten years, reigniting rumors that she’s secretly dating her Music Man co-star, Hugh Jackman. Last fall, Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their separation, ending a 27-year marriage. While neither Jackman or Foster have addressed the rumors, Furness seems to have some feelings about the whole thing.
Following the news of Foster’s divorce, sources told Us Weekly that not only are Jackman and Foster in a “full-blown relationship” but that Foster “is the reason” Jackman left Furness. “A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy,” the source said. “But there was an affair and overlap.” But apparently Furness had her “suspicions” all along, a source told the Daily Mail in October. “Their relationship is not a secret to her.”
That may explain why, according to Us Weekly, Furness liked an Instagram post in which gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claimed Jackman “blindsided” Furness with his alleged affair with Foster. Meanwhile, her friend Amanda de Cadenet commented, “You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!” I hope for Furness’s sake she has the opportunity to wear one hell of a revenge dress.
