Deborra-Lee Furness is reportedly "seething with rage" after apparently discovering Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively knew Hugh Jackman had moved on with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster. The A-list couple reportedly sensed "something brewing between Hugh and Sutton" but "kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh".

RadarOnline.com reports, "[Deb] is seething with rage over being the last to know... Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it!"

The source claims, "Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut."

Meanwhile, Hugh is reportedly "bracing himself" for an "ugly" legal battle with Deborra-Lee as they apparently don't have a prenup.

It comes after Deborra-Lee's private Instagram account 'liked' a video from a gossip blogger claiming Hugh was "running off with a mistress" and planning a "soft launch" of their relationship.

Now, it seems as though Deborra-Lee is shutting down Hugh's plans to spend Christmas with their children, Oscar Maximilian Jackman, 24, and daughter Ava Eliot Jackman, 19.

Woman's Day reports Hugh was hoping to do a blended Christmas with Sutton, but Deborra-Lee wasn't comfortable with it.

"Hugh and Sutton would love to get together with their kids for the holidays but it’s still awkward and Hugh is conscious of respecting Deb’s feelings," a family insider said.

"Deb feels like Hugh hasn’t properly acknowledged the hurt he caused by moving on so quickly," they added. "She gave so much of herself to their marriage, personally and professionally. It’s not just about healing — it’s about respect."

"It’s going to take more time for loved ones to adjust to the new normal and so that means Hugh and Sutton are bracing themselves for way less time together than they’d like during the holidays."

The insider claims Hugh will be in for a lonely Christmas as their children will likely spend most of their time with their mum.

Hugh shocked the world in 2023 when he and Deborra-Lee ended their 27-year marriage, as they had been known as one of Hollywood's rare success stories.

At the time, they said, "We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

After Sutton also filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, it was rumoured she and Hugh became close after they met and worked together on The Music Man from December 2021 to January 2023.

In October, Page Six claimed Hugh and Sutton are "in love" and inseparable but have been careful to stay out of the public eye.

"They spend all of their free time together," the insider claims. "They are a regular couple, they are just in private."

Another insider previously told the publication, "They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together."

Sutton previously told Vogue in 2022 what it was like to work with Hugh, saying, "He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest-working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him."

She added, "He’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, 'Well, I hope we get along.' But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40."
