Hugh Jackman’s post-divorce drama appears to be getting messier, and Nicole Kidman is now reportedly caught in the middle.
The ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ star is said to be upset with Kidman after she allegedly sided with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, amid ongoing tension over his relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster.
According to insiders, Jackman believes Kidman has been quietly backing Furness and turning mutual friends against him. The report claims he was especially bothered after Kidman allegedly gave him and Foster the cold shoulder at the 2026 Met Gala. For Jackman, the message to Kidman is reportedly simple: “Stop stirring.”
Jackman Reportedly Feels Isolated
Jackman and Furness split after 27 years of marriage, and the fallout has continued to follow him as his romance with Foster became more public.
Sources claim several high-profile Australian friends have taken Furness’ side, including Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Naomi Watts.
That has reportedly left Jackman feeling boxed out by people he once considered part of his closest circle.
A source claimed Jackman is “getting sick and tired” of people rallying around Furness and believes Kidman may be encouraging the tension behind the scenes.
“He’s convinced that Nicole has been winding Deb up,” the insider said.
Nicole Allegedly Avoided Him At Met Gala
The Met Gala reportedly became a major flashpoint.
“Hugh was upset that Nicole avoided him at the Met Gala,” a source claimed. “That was very fishy to him.”
The insider alleged that Jackman later heard “not very nice things” were being said about him and Foster, and that Kidman was making it known she was “Team Deb.” “That did not sit well with Hugh at all,” the source added.
Deborra-Lee Furness’ Mood Reportedly Shifted
Earlier reports claimed Furness had been open to meeting Jackman and Foster for a friendly lunch in hopes of bringing some peace to the situation.
One source previously said the meeting would not have been about anger, but “closure.”
Now, Jackman reportedly feels that tone has shifted. According to insiders, he thought he and Furness were on a better path before things suddenly became colder again. He allegedly believes Kidman may have played a role in that change.
“He’s looking for people to blame,” one source said, adding that Jackman has focused on Kidman because he believes she has “an axe to grind.”
For now, no one has publicly confirmed the reported private tension. But the latest claims make the situation look less like a simple celebrity split and more like a divided Hollywood friendship circle, with Jackman and Foster on one side and Furness’ supporters on the other.
