Hugh Jackman’s children, Oscar and Ava, are reportedly struggling with how to take their dad’s new romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster. It comes a year after Hugh split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.
Woman’s Day, citing a source, claimed, “It has been difficult for the children to welcome Sutton into their father’s world with their own mixed feelings, as well as feeling guilty if they get too close.” “
“It’s all going to be a little messy, but Hughes’ hope is that time will heal all wounds, so if they can get through this holiday season without any major setbacks, they’ll be heading into the new year with ease. Will stay.”
