Hugh Jackman might be staying quiet about his messy split from Deborra-Lee Furness, but his BFF is spilling the tea!
On Thursday’s episode of Australia’s Ben Fordham Live radio show, Hugh’s childhood pal Gus Worland opened up about the longtime couple’s split — and specifically, Deb’s “betrayal” comment! If you missed it, after finally filing for divorce from the actor, the 69-year-old released a scathing statement to DailyMail.com about the split — which pretty much all but confirmed Hugh’s affair with Sutton Foster! The producer dished:
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.”
She didn’t name names, but the reference to a “betrayal” really seems to hint at claims Hugh moved on with Sutton before calling things off with his wife of 27 years. It’s something Deb has seemingly confirmed in the past, too.

We’ve already heard via other sources that Hugh was pissed off about the comment — because despite his ultimate breach of loyalty, he somehow believed his ex-wife should go easy on him. Sigh. But what does his close friend — who witnessed the rise and fall of this romance with his own eyes — have to say about it? Gus told the radio host:
“It’s not just that statement, but just the last couple of years have been difficult. No one wants anyone to go through what they’ve been through, and, of course, they go through everything publicly because of the type of people and the fame that they have.”
While Gus does have ties to both parties (though he’s known Hugh longer — they met in kindergarten), he said he has been “strict” on allowing them to “do what they’ve had to do.” Hmm. Does he mean like letting Hugh get with a different married woman behind his partner’s back?? Ugh. Supposedly, many of Hugh’s friends just turned a blind eye to the scandal…
The Australian reality TV star went on to note that he’s visited the Deadpool & Wolverine star in New York since the breakup (we wonder if Sutton had already moved in??). He reflected on how the 56-year-old is doing, sharing with a bit of shade:
“He is going along well. He’s moving on with his life and I hope that Deb does as well.”
Oof. Now, that sounds like a dig! He’s totally Team Jackman! But c’mon, man, give her a little time to be salty, she deserves it after what she apparently went through! And frankly, if everything we’ve heard about the split is true, Deb’s being generous with her vague comments!
Reactions? Sound OFF in the comments!
