A wedding is being planned for Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, but a source reveals the actor's children are creating complications for the couple's arrangements.
According to the insider, Jackman's adopted children, Oscar, 25, and Ava, 20, have remained steadfastly loyal to their mother, Deborra-Lee Furness, since their parents' surprising separation in 2023. "Even though Hugh is excited to start this next chapter with Sutton, he has to be sensitive to his kids," the source stated. "They're incredibly protective of their mother and he wants to be respectful of that."
Jackman, 57, and Furness, 70, finalized their divorce last summer. He and Foster, 50, made their red carpet debut months later and are now reportedly engaged.
"Hugh really wants his kids at the wedding," the source emphasized, noting that Foster's 9-year-old daughter, Emily, is also part of their vision for the celebration. However, balancing their own wishes with the feelings of their children is creating stress. "They have to balance their wishes with what's best for their respective children," the source added.
