How Hugh Jackman’s Ex Wife Feels About His Relationship with Sutton Foster

[@cottoncandisandi6109]

Two cheaters , they deserve one another . 🙄

[@myriamroda7554]

Awful how disgusting how they both treated their partners. His a coward & pathetic excuse for a man. Debra deserves better

[@crissv9102]

Why ? Did Deborra Lee deserved an award to marry a man 15 years younger who gave her the life of a queen ? Honey she had 28 of Hugh's best years . She had more than she deserved.

[@myriamroda7554]

@@crissv9102 wrong I'm Australian she was a big star in her own right when she met Jackman who was just out of acting school. She had money she was a big star in Australia and he worked with her on a tv show & fell in love and got married Debra Lee Furness had a green card for America. Because she studied acting in NYC. So that's why he was able to act & become a star. So if it wasn't for her he wouldn't be where he is. She is a producer director and Artis & interior designer. The house they own in the Hamptons was done by her . She doesn't need his money. He gave 100 million in divorce for her to keep quiet.

Just my opinion people who have affairs are cowards and haven’t got the guts to go to there partners and tell them they want out and most affairs don’t work out because deep down in there minds there’s a thought can we both trust each other but will still be cowards to not bring it up to one another 🤷🏼‍♀️ Deborah is going to be ok because her next love is going to be wonderful with trust straight of the bat.

[@EmilyMiles-wz2rw]

The deception lies in the fact that cheaters don't tell them WHY they want out. They certainly do tell them they want out. Hugh told Deborah and she accepted it not knowing why. Because they are cowards and don't want their adultery to be obvious, they split and allow some time to go by before bringing out their new partner so that it appears as if it's just happened.

I hope Deborah eventually finds love with a man of better character, and I hope the cheating couple fall out of love as quickly as they fell into it and end up miserable.

Just like when you get their autograph, it's NOT their actual signature, it's a bogus one.

[@1Channel1]

Also you sound NSTY! What's it to you? He's never been into women anyway. The "wife" got tired and wanted out of her contract. She is elderly now. Or did you miss the part where she claimed she divorced him and now they're feeding us another story?? You want to know what he is like iRL? The closest Hugh is the character where he has his nuts glued under his chin. Or did you miss that film? He was telling fans he is 🏳‍🌈without telling you directly YW!

LMAO. The PR machine is in overdrive. Cheated, lied, and now trying to silence Deb so they can paint themselves as wonderful people. They would have been better off going quietly about their business, but no, they have to make a big deal of themselves and try to get admiration and pretend everyone thinks they are wonderful. People liked him, but he's made a disgrace of himself. She isn't really a nice person now is she. She has both multiple marriages and a steam of affairs behind her, so my guess would be when a step up comes along, he'll reap what he sowed.

Before you go crapping all over Hugh why don't you go back and read the news from 2020 during COVID when they talked about falling out of love for each other. So that would mean they were having problems even before COVID started and before all of this Sutton Foster crap even started. They just kept it together until the kids were old enough. They may have announced their separation in 2023 but we don't know if they even got divorced before that. As Austrailans their divorce isn't made public information unlike in America.

[@ninazadirresenasespiritual4591]

I agree with you. Talking without knowing the details has no sense. I am a therapist and many things have to be considered making each case different

[@EmilyMiles-wz2rw]

Marriage isn't about 'I don't feel in love with you today,' it's taking the rough with the smooth. Most long marriages survive by both people showing kindness and respect to the other regardless of how they might feel. Romance and lust do not last long but respect, friendship and genuine compassion do.

[@LadyBruiserweight]

@EmilyMiles-wz2rw I mean until you can show a divorce record we may never know. They could have gotten divorced in 2021 and decided to make a statement in 2023. Until Hugh or Deb say otherwise everything is taken as a grain of salt if that. Most of it is gossip blog BS to be a sh*t starter.

So unless something crazy comes to light, I’ll continue to believe he’s a good dude if Deborra wanted to stay with him.

[@LiebezurMusik.]

If she wanted to stay with him it doesn't mean that he was "a good guy", it meant that she was in love with him enough to forgive him and move on, that's all. If he was a good guy he would have told her that he had fallen in love with someone else, but he didn't, she found out through the outside, and that is humiliating and cruel to a person who gave you so many years of support.

I am sure as they were together and married for a long time with children that he still loves and respects her as mother to their children and for who she is as a person, but clearly, it shows that he had fallen out of love with her, for 'his' reasons, which we should respect. He is as human as us all with the same feelings and emotions. He deserves to feel true happiness, true love, equality, and respect. So, yeah, if he has found all these with this new woman and feels to be where he truly needs and deserves to be, 'then good on him'. Life is too short to live it with regrets and misery. He is a wonderful human being who is admired, loved, and respected by so many around the world who wish him nothing but the best for him and his life👍😊
