There is no reliable public evidence establishing that Deborra-Lee Furness was relieved when Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster appeared together. The “relieved” wording comes from an anonymous source quoted by New Idea, and it describes Jackman—not Furness. Furness’s own reported statement used different language, referring to betrayal and a “profound wound.”
Who was reportedly “relieved”?
New Idea attributed the phrase “relieved to have the news out there now” to an unnamed insider describing Jackman’s reaction after he and Foster were seen together. It was not a direct statement from Jackman, Foster, or Furness. The same outlet also attributed a reaction by Furness to an anonymous insider; that, too, is not a direct account from Furness.

Accordingly, the headline’s suggestion that Furness was relieved is not established by the reported evidence. Her private feelings about the public appearance remain unknown.
What did Furness say publicly?
In May 2025, Furness issued a statement saying her “heart and compassion” went out to people who had experienced betrayal. She also described betrayal as a “profound wound.” The statement, as reported, did not explicitly name Foster. Those words should not be expanded into a claim about who was responsible for what, or treated as proof of an affair. Los Angeles Times report on Furness’s statement

What the public timeline does—and does not—show
The 2023 separation announcement and the January 2025 photographs are documented public milestones. Neither reveals the private start date of Jackman and Foster’s relationship, and the hand-holding photographs cannot establish what Furness felt when they appeared. Later public milestones—including a red-carpet appearance in October 2025—also do not verify the anonymous claim about anyone’s state of mind. Elle’s relationship timeline
