Met Gala Organisers Panic Over Possible Jackman-Furness Showdown

Met Gala organizers are reportedly concerned about a possible encounter between Hugh Jackman, his ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, and Jackman's new girlfriend, Sutton Foster, at this year's event. The annual affair, which Jackman and Furness often attended together during their 27-year marriage, marks the first time Furness will appear since their high-profile split in 2023. Insiders say tension is high as organizers worry about a potential 'PR nightmare' if the estranged couple, who are said to be barely speaking, cross paths on the red carpet, especially with Foster's anticipated presence. Jackman's team has reportedly reached out to Furness in an attempt to avoid any awkward run-ins during the gala. The couple, who share two adopted children, announced their separation by emphasizing their desire to 'pursue individual growth' after nearly three decades together. Meanwhile, Jackman and Foster have been discussing making their public debut as a couple at the Met Gala, heightening organizers' anxiety.
