Deborra-Lee Furness Thinks Ex Hugh Jackman’s Romance With Sutton Foster Is a ‘Total Rebound Fantasy’…see more

“Debs isn’t hiding how she feels about Hugh and Sutton playing house. She thinks it’s a total rebound fantasy, and she’s not buying it for a second,” the insider says.

“She’s joked to friends that she’s taking bets on how long it’ll last, and she’s putting her money on under a year.”

The source adds that Deborra-Lee, 69, sees her ex’s relationship with the Bunheads actress, 50, as “rushed and emotionally messy.”

“From her point of view, Hugh barely had time to process their split before diving headfirst into this new setup with Sutton,” the insider continues. “She thinks he’s acting like a teenager, and she’s rolling her eyes hard at the ‘happily ever after’ act he’s putting on with Sutton.”

Hugh, 56, and Deborra-Lee announced their separation after 27 years of marriage in September 2023. “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage.

Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,” the former couple said in a joint statement to People. The statement continued, “Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.

We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives. This is the sole statement either of us will make.”
