Deborra-Lee Furness puts on a brave face with downcast daughter Ava at the Australian Open hours after photos emerge of ex-Hugh Jackman kissing new girlfriend Sutton Foster

Deborra-Lee Furness put on a brave face on Tuesday when she went to the Australian Open with daughter Ava.

The outing comes just hours after the Australian actress’ ex, Hugh Jackman, was spotted kissing his new lover Sutton Foster.

Deb, 69, was all smiles as she arrived at Rod Laver Arena with Ava, 19, clearly excited at the prospect of a big day of tennis.

The mother-daughter duo were joined by Tennis Australia director Jayne Hrdlicka and former Australian Open doubles winner Judy Tegart-Dalton.

Deb put on a colorful display in a $1,100 violet silk shirt from US high-end label BODE.

The quirky garment had a print of a cowboy riding a bucking horse on the left side.

The image was completed with the words ‘the round up’ and ‘let ‘er buck’, while the statement shirt also featured a horse theme on the collar and hem.

Deborra-Lee paired her colorful top with white casual drawstring pants.

She completed her outfit with a pair of similarly quirky raffia platform shoes from Robert Clergerie.

Keeping with the violet theme of her outfit, Deborra-Lee completed her look with similarly colored round sunglasses.

Meanwhile, daughter Ava was a vision in black, stepping out in a black and brown lace-up mini dress which she teamed with tall black boots.

Ava completed her classic look with a hanging choker around her neck and opted to let her brunette locks loose for the occasion.

The duo seemed thrilled to be in each other’s company and beamed happily at the photographers as they arrived.

It was a slightly different story at court, with a seemingly dejected Ava being comforted by her mother as they watched the action.

A straight-faced Ava rested her head gently on Deborra-Lee’s shoulder as Mom reached out to tenderly place a hand on the side of her face.

Deborra-Lee’s appearance at the Australian Open comes just hours after Hugh was exposed kissing Sutton Foster for the first time since their relationship.

Hugh and Sutton, 49, appeared deeply in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they kissed repeatedly while in the car at a San Fernando In-N-Out.

Sutton was seen tenderly cradling Jackman’s face as they locked lips while waiting to order the fast food in the drive-thru line – days before the LA fires broke out.

Their appearance comes after the Logan star attended a performance of Foster’s production of Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles this weekend and the pair were spotted holding hands during a date in Santa Monica.

The two stars had previously shared the stage on Broadway when they starred in a critically acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man.

Foster filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year.

She had been married to the 53-year-old screenwriter of Ocean for ten years.

Foster and Jackman have been inundated with rumors in recent months that an affair between the two has destroyed their marriage.

Hugh and Deborra-Lee announced in September 2023 that they would dissolve their 27-year marriage.

“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together as husband and wife for nearly three decades. Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth,” the couple said in a statement obtained by People.

‘Our family is and will remain 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 throughout our lives.”

The Australian couple share two children together; Oscar, 24, and Ava.
