A subtle love triangle surrounding Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman is drawing attention. Reports say his new lover Sutton Foster is feeling jealous after the intense chemistry he showed with co-star Kate Hudson in his new film.
According to foreign outlets Daily Mail and Radar Online, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson play lovers who fall in love through music in the film "Song Sung Blue," and have been praised for "setting every scene on fire." The problem is that this "chemistry" is felt excessively off screen as well. A source said, "Sutton Foster is very uncomfortable with the intimate atmosphere between the two and is burning up with jealousy."
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are a couple who publicly confirmed their relationship in January of this year. This was a new romance revealed only months after he ended his 27-year marriage to his ex-wife, who is 13 years his senior, Deborra-Lee Furness, and it has already attracted considerable attention.
According to reports, backstage casting stories also contributed to Sutton Foster's complex emotions. A source said, "From the audience's perspective, one might wonder, 'Why didn't Sutton Foster, Hugh Jackman's real-life partner and an accomplished musical actress, appear in this film?' But the production wanted an actor with global recognition on par with Hugh Jackman, and by that standard Sutton was excluded," the source claimed.
Moreover, some predict the situation will not be easy as the film's promotional tour intensifies. A source said, "As official events featuring Hugh and Kate increase, it could become greater stress for Sutton. Hugh himself may not think much of it, but from a partner's standpoint the burden is bound to grow."
However, there is a twist that not all the tension is true. Recently at a "Song Sung Blue" screening, Sutton Foster and Kate Hudson were seen talking warmly and hugging, leading to eyewitness accounts that "the jealousy rumors were put to rest." In fact, Hudson is in a long-term relationship with musician Danny Fujikawa.
Meanwhile, the emotional ripple effect surrounding Hugh Jackman has continued into his relationship with his ex-wife Furness. Local media reported that "Hugh Jackman's frequent public appearances with Sutton Foster are causing Furness further pain," and that the 'peace negotiations' are being shaken again.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced in 2023 that they would end their 27-year marriage and divorce. Afterward, photos emerged of Hugh Jackman with Sutton Foster taken before the divorce announcement, fueling rumors that there had been an affair.
