Hugh Jackman’s Children Struggle with Family Changes Amid Rumored Romance with Sutton Foster
Hugh Jackman’s children, Oscar and Ava, are reportedly finding it challenging to adjust to the evolving family dynamics one year after Jackman’s separation from Deborra-Lee Furness. The siblings are said to be navigating mixed emotions about their father’s rumored relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster.
According to the Daily Mail, the children are grappling with feelings of guilt and uncertainty. “It’s been hard for the kids, having to welcome Sutton into their father’s world with their own mixed feelings about it, while at the same time feeling guilty if they get too close,” a source shared.
Jackman is currently spending the holiday season with his children in Australia, staying at his $12 million North Bondi penthouse. Meanwhile, Foster is reportedly in Los Angeles, performing in the stage production Once Upon A Mattress. Despite the physical distance, their relationship is reportedly flourishing, with Jackman forming a bond with Foster’s adopted daughter, Emily, according to Page Six.
The rumored romance has allegedly caused tension with Jackman’s ex-wife, Furness, who reportedly feels blindsided by the developments. According to RadarOnline, she is also upset with Jackman’s close friends Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, accusing them of withholding information about his new relationship.
Jackman and Furness announced their separation in 2023, ending a marriage that spanned nearly three decades. While the former couple emphasized their mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting, sources suggest the ongoing changes have been difficult for the family, particularly the children.
As Jackman and Foster’s relationship continues to develop, the family works to navigate the complexities of blending new relationships and maintaining old ones. For Oscar and Ava, the transition reflects the challenges many children face in adjusting to post-divorce dynamics, especially when high-profile relationships are involved.
