Hugh Jackman cuts off close friend for leaking Sutton Foster romance
According to #ShuterScoop, Hugh Jackman cut ties with a longtime choreographer friend after discovering that he leaked details of the actor’s relationship with The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster. Sources say the choreographer used his publicist to spread the story and boost his own publicity. The move caused major fallout within Jackman’s once-tight Broadway circle. “The call came from inside the house,” one insider said. “Hugh and Sutton were incredibly discreet during The Music Man, but a few trusted people knew — and one of them decided to cash in.”
When the romance story broke, Jackman immediately suspected betrayal. “He knew Sutton would never,” the source said. “He’s convinced it came from a so-called friend desperate for headlines and a taste of the spotlight.” The betrayal left Jackman deeply hurt after years of trust and loyalty within his inner circle.
A Broadway insider said, “Hugh’s been burned before, but this one hurts — this person wasn’t just a colleague, he was family.” Following the incident, Jackman began cutting back his inner circle and limiting personal access to avoid further betrayal. “He’s tightening his circle,” the insider added. “If you leak, you’re gone.”
Jackman and Foster, who starred together in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man, kept their relationship private both on and off stage. The leak marked a rare personal controversy for Jackman, who closely guards his private life. Sources say the fallout highlights his determination to remove anyone trying to exploit his personal life for attention or gain.
