Fans have criticized Hugh Jackman for passionately kissing his new girlfriend Sutton Foster in public, thinking how his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness would have felt.
The Australian actor, 56, and Foster, 49, were seen kissing next to their car at an In-N-Out burger restaurant in San Fernando, Los Angeles.
“There is absolutely no reason to do this in public other than turning the knife on Deborra,” one person wrote.
Get a room man! Have some respect for your ex-wife,’ another person commented.
‘Very uncomfortable. There’s no chemistry,” said a third, while another wrote: “It’s horrible for his ex-wife to witness, I hope she finds happiness too.”
Fans criticized Hugh Jackman for passionately kissing his new girlfriend Sutton Foster in public after their secret relationship was exposed.
‘Oh, Hugo. I honestly thought you were a good guy. Flaunting this in public is rude,” one of them said.
Another commented: “No matter how strong the attraction between Jackman and Foster is, their actions are selfish.”
‘There is no respect for his ex-wife, his children and his family. I hope it resonates with him,” one person added.
Despite the backlash, some fans offered their support to the new couple.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Hugh really happy,” one person commented.
‘Sutton Foster is adorable and very talented. “I’m sorry for those hurt, but I also like to see people really happy,” said another.
A third wrote: “He looks absolutely smitten in these photos.” “It’s horrible for his ex-wife to witness, I hope she finds happiness too.”
Fans have called out the Wolverine star’s awkward and awkward move in the parking lot, with many offering their support to his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness (pictured).
Jackman, who separated from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, in September 2023, hugged Foster as she caressed his face.
Their exit comes after the Logan star attended a screening of Foster’s production of Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles over the weekend and the pair were seen holding hands on a date in Santa Monica.
Foster filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year.
She had been married to the 53-year-old Ocean screenwriter for 10 years.
Foster and Jackman have been dogged in recent months by rumors that an affair between the two ruined their marriages.
Fans had commented on how close they seemed to be in their off-stage interactions while appearing together on The Music Man.
Furness appeared to give credence to the rumors when she liked an Instagram post in October from a gossip blogger who claimed her husband was “running off with his mistress” and planning a “soft launch” of their relationship, according to Us Weekly.
A source told DailyMail.com in October that Furness had suspicions of an affair, but was still “shocked when she found out.”
Jackman, who separated from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, in September 2023, hugged Foster as she caressed his face.
They described the affair as “Broadway’s worst kept secret” and added that “Deborra-Lee was the last to know.”
According to a report from RadarOnline, Furness was particularly upset by the behavior of Jackman’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively because they allegedly “kept silent.”
“They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,” a source told the publication.
“Now that she’s furious that she was the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and she’s not afraid to use it.
“Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was going on and they all chose to keep their mouths shut,” they added.
Daily Mail Australia contacted representatives for Furness and Reynolds at the time for comment.
Following Jackman and Furness’ split, the former couple shared a statement addressing the breakup.
‘We have been fortunate to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful and loving marriage. “Our journey is now changing and we have decided to separate to continue our individual growth,” they announced.
“Our family has been and always will be our top priority,” they continued. ‘We face this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness. “We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family goes through this transition in all of our lives.”
