Hugh Jackman’s kids feel ‘guilty’ for welcoming ‘girlfriend’ Sutton Foster into their lives – as her daughter’s name for Wolverine star is revealed
Hugh Jackman’s two children are reportedly feeling guilty for reportedly welcoming his new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, into their family, a year after the actor split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness .
Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, are getting used to splitting time between their famous Australian parents and getting used to having Sutton around, who also has a seven-year-old daughter named Emily.
“It was difficult for the children to welcome Sutton into their father’s world with their own mixed emotions, while at the same time feeling guilty about getting too close,” a source told Woman’s Day.
‘It’s all going to be a bit messy, but Hugh hopes time heals all wounds, so if they can get through the holidays without any major problems, they’ll be in calmer waters in the new year.’
Hugh, 56, is currently in Australia spending the holidays with his son Oscar and daughter Ava. It is unclear whether their mother Deb will also return Down Under for Christmas.
The trio – who live in New York – are believed to be staying in his stunning $12 million North Bondi penthouse.

While Hugh enjoys an Australian Christmas with his kids, Sutton is back in Los Angeles performing in the stage production of Once Upon A Mattress.
Hugh and Sutton’s romance has reportedly continued to blossom away from the spotlight, with the pair reaching a heartwarming family milestone with Sutton’s adopted daughter.
“Hugh has met Sutton’s daughter Emily – she even calls him ‘Uncle Hugh’!” added the source.
However, Hugh’s ex-wife Deb is said to have been ‘seething with anger’ over rumors of the pair’s new romance.
Hugh and Deb, 69, confirmed their split after nearly three decades together in September 2023, and he is now rumored to be dating Broadway star Sutton, 49.
It is claimed that Deb was furious because she was ‘the last to know’ about the relationship.
According to RadaronlineDeb was particularly unimpressed with Hugh’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, both of whom reportedly ‘remained silent’ about the romance rumors.
“They remained tight-lipped out of loyalty to Hugh,” a source told the publication.

“Now seething with anger at being the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and is not afraid to use it.
“Debs feels betrayed by all three because someone could have told her what was going on and they all chose to remain silent,” she added.
Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Deb and Ryan’s representatives for comment.
Hugh reportedly planned to introduce Sutton to his and Deb’s children over the holidays.
However, Deb is said to be ‘not keen on the idea’, with a source claiming she doesn’t want a ‘mixed’ family Christmas.
“It’s a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is spending less time with the kids this year, it’s him,” she added.
The insider said that Hugh and Sutton are determined to make their relationship work and are keeping things low key at the moment.
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.

The pair have attended public events together and performed at the opening night of their show The Music Man on Broadway in February 2022.
In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb.
“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together as husband and wife for nearly three decades,” the couple said in a joint statement.
“Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.”
Meanwhile, Sutton filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin in October.
