Hugh Jackman is back in the spotlight—and this time, it’s not for a blockbuster role. Fresh off finalizing his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in early June 2025, the Wolverine star is now the subject of explosive tabloid chatter claiming he’s refusing to protect his reported $120 million fortune as his romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster heats up.
According to Globe Magazine, citing unnamed sources, Jackman is allegedly eager to marry Foster and has “flatly rejected” the idea of a prenup, supposedly calling it “insulting.” The report claims friends are concerned about the size of his wealth compared to Foster’s reported $4 million net worth. However, neither Jackman nor Foster has publicly addressed the claims, and those figures have not been confirmed by their representatives.
What is confirmed is the timeline of their relationship. Jackman and Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in June 2025. Meanwhile, Jackman and Foster—who co-starred in Broadway’s The Music Man—were photographed holding hands in Santa Monica in January 2025, fueling speculation that their on-stage chemistry had turned into something more. Later that year, Jackman shared a post many interpreted as subtly acknowledging their relationship.
Still, everything about wedding plans and private financial discussions remains firmly in rumor territory. Prenups have long been a lightning rod in celebrity culture, often framed as a test of trust rather than a legal safeguard. For someone like Jackman—who has built a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most grounded and likable leading men—the idea of refusing a prenup feeds directly into a dramatic narrative of love versus logic.
The speculation also exposes a familiar double standard. Women in high-profile relationships are frequently subjected to scrutiny over financial motives, regardless of their own careers and accomplishments. Foster, a Tony Award-winning performer with decades of success, has her own established résumé, yet tabloid framing often reduces the story to dollars and cents.
For now, the only hard facts are that Jackman is divorced and publicly dating Foster. Whether wedding bells are ringing—or whether any legal paperwork is being debated behind closed doors—remains unverified. But in Hollywood, when love and money intersect, the rumor mill rarely waits for confirmation before cashing in.
