EXCLUSIVE: Hugh Jackman's Ex-Wife Deborra-Lee Furness 'Furious' at Hollywood's 'Golden Couple' Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively for 'Not Flagging Divorce Was on Way'
Jilted Deborra-Lee Furness is "seething with rage" at Hollywood royalty Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively over what they knew about estranged hubby Hugh Jackman's relationship with his former co-star.
She's discovered the Tinseltown power couple "could sense something was brewing between Hugh and Sutton Foster," RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Our source continued: "But they kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh. Despite their longtime relationship with Deb, they chose to cover for him!
"Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know about the clandestine affair. Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it!"
Jackman and Reynolds met on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009 and have been bosom buddies ever since, with them meeting up for regular dinners with their partners.
But that dynamic shifted once Jackman fell for Sutton when they starred in a Broadway show, and Furness is furious that Reynolds and Lively didn't spill the beans on what they knew.
The source added: "Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut."
Now Hollywood star Jackman is "bracing himself" for a bruising battle over his $290m fortune.
Furness is "lawyering up" after calling him out over his relationship with NYC theater co-star Foster.
Jilted Furness, with Jackman for approaching 30 years, believed no one else was involved when she split from Hollywood’s Mr Nice Guy.
But now things are about to turn ugly for the Wolverine, and Deadpool star.
A legal source told us: "The starting point for any divorce without a prenup is 50% of all the assets and cash so Hugh could be in for a big payout to Deborra.
"He’s bracing himself for a legal onslaught because it now seems that there was some crossover in his relationships with Sutton and Deborra. Things could get very ugly, and very expensive, very quickly."
Foster, 49, co-starred with Jackman in the stage production of The Music Man from December 2021 to January 2023.
