One of the most shocking celebrity splits of the year was between Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, who he allegedly left for Sutton Foster.

A source close to Deborra-Lee recently came forward to share that she had no sympathy upon hearing that her ex-husband’s one-man show, which has been a residency at Radio City, was not selling that many tickets. The update didn’t come long after various sources mentioned how heartbroken she was following her and Hugh’s split, which, due to the affair allegations, was a “betrayal.” Read more about the update below.

Hugh Jackman Opened A One-Man Residency Show Following His Divorce From Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman has been back in the spotlight, but this time, instead of being on camera, he was on stage. He was recently performing his one-man concert residency, From New York, With Love, live from Radio City Music Hall in New York. The show first debuted in January and recently ended over the weekend.

The production featured the Wolverine icon as he sang some of the most famous songs from his career in live-theater productions and movie-musicals, like hits from The Greatest Showman, Les Misérables, The Music Man, and more. He would also include covers of some of his favorite ballads, and to make the show even more exciting, bring on special guests, from P!nk and her daughter, to Ryan Reynolds.

The residency followed his chaotic divorce news, as he and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced they were ending their marriage of over 20 years towards the end of 2023. Although they initially released a statement that their split was amicable, scandalous reports had come out that Hugh allegedly had an affair with his Broadway co-star, Sutton Foster, who performed alongside him in The Music Man from 2022 to 2023, which contributed to the end of his long marriage.

Deborra-Lee Reportedly Feels 'No Sympathy' That Hugh's Show Had Ticket Sale Trouble

Since the former couple finalized their divorce over the summer, she's been speaking out about how disappointed she was in the way things ended, and did not hold back in letting the public know that her ex-husband was allegedly responsible for their split, which didn't come as much of a surprise, considering he was photographed getting cozy with Sutton not long after.

 

"It's a profound wound that cuts deep," she famously told The Daily Mailalso calling their divorce "the traumatic journey of betrayal."

 

However, her tune is starting to change after reports came out that the Greatest Showman star reportedly started having ticket sale issues for his residency show, eventually struggling to fill seats as performances continued. Once she heard the news, according to a source, his ex-wife wasn't feeling too bad for him.

 

"Deb has moved on, but she's getting a fiendish delight hearing he can't fill seats at his one-man show," the source told National Enquirer"It seems Hugh's not as invincible as he thought he was. People have told her he's struggling and down in the dumps over the lack of ticket sales." Another source told the publication that the wound of their divorce is still relatively fresh for the Australian actress. While she loved him deeply, she's having a hard time seeing him as someone other than a heartbreaker right now.

 

"Deb clearly feels he stabbed her in the back, and she means to make him pay dearly," they claimed. "She loved him, and he was her everything, and now he's a louse who broke her heart and betrayed her."
