Reports emerged last month that Hugh’s close relationship with Broadway star Sutton, 49, contributed to the end of his long-term marriage to Deb.
Hugh and Sutton took on the roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theater in Manhattan.
“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb (broke up),” a source close to Foster told Us Weekly.
The couple has already attended public events together and looked smitten with each other at the opening night of their show The Music Man on Broadway in February 2022.
Their affair during the show was reportedly “Broadway’s worst kept secret” and it is now claimed that the “truly happy” couple are eager to leave their relationship open.
It comes after sources revealed to DailyMail.com that Furness was concerned about the couple reuniting for the Broadway production in 2022, a year before Jackman announced the end of his 27-year marriage.
“Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton,” a source previously said. “Their relationship is not a secret to her.”
The rumored couple spoke publicly and both admitted that “it was a dream come true” to work together in resurfaced interviews.

Foster praised the “incredibly kind and generous” Jackman in Vogue when asked about their professional relationship, gushing that “he has now become one of my best friends,” before adding that “we just spent Memorial Day with our families.” It’s a lot of fun to meet new friends after 40.’
