What these photos tell us about Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ shock split as the Hollywood actor mingles with locals at Bondi Beach in Sydney

Australian actor Hugh Jackman has returned home just in time for the Christmas holidays.

On Sunday, the 56-year-old Hollywood star visited the very trendy Speedos Café in the hip seaside suburb of North Bondi.

Exclusive photos obtained by Ny Breaking Australia show Hugh dining with a male friend while among cafe patrons.

But Jackman was also joined by his two adopted children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, who he shares with his estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness.

Oscar and Ava appear to be spending the holidays with their Wolverine actor father this year, following their parents’ divorce in September 2023.

Hugh dressed comfortably for the outing in a fitted black shirt and shorts, while his son Oscar wore white shorts and a red checked shirt, paired with a brown bucket hat.

The Greatest Showman star’s daughter, Ava, was dressed in relaxed jeans and a loose white T-shirt.

Hugh and his two children seemed to be in good spirits for the beach outing and were seen chatting happily in the cafe before heading off to explore Bondi Beach.

The trio were joined by Hugh’s male friend as they strolled along the seaside walk.

An enthusiastic fan also captured the family dining at the Sydney hotspot on Sunday.

Hugh looked relaxed and animated during the conversation and appeared to know the waitresses who work at the eatery.

The sighting comes after reports that Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness is said to have been ‘seething with anger’ over rumors of the Hollywood star’s new romance with Sutton Foster.

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 is particularly angry with Hugh’s good friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, both of whom are said to have kept ‘silence’ about the rumored romance.

“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 isn’t 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 Deborra and Ryan’s representatives for comment.

Australian actor Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce his new partner Sutton to his and Deb’s children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, 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.”
