‘They’ve never had a meaningful friendship’: Why Hugh Jackman’s girlfriend Sutton Foster hasn’t grown close to his best friend’s wife Blake Lively

by

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have been close friends for almost twenty years, ever since they first worked together on the 2007 film *X-Men Origins: Wolverine*. However, their wives don’t necessarily share that same close relationship.

A source revealed to the Daily Mail that there isn’t a strong friendship between Hugh Jackman’s girlfriend, Sutton Foster, and his ex-wife, Blake Lively, even though their partners are often together.

Although the couples sometimes go out together, Blake and Sutton haven’t formed a close friendship, and it doesn’t seem like they will in the future, a source says.

The women are friendly, but they don’t have a close bond. They don’t truly confide in each other or hang out one-on-one, usually only spending time together when their partners are also there, according to a source. It seems they just don’t have much in common.

Okay, so both these actresses are *amazing* and have been working forever, which is awesome! But honestly? That’s pretty much where it stops. They’re totally different, and I can tell you why, but you probably wouldn’t understand the *nuance*… Seriously, they’re worlds apart, and I’m here for it!

Hugh Foster, age 50, is often cast in sophisticated Broadway roles. Blake Lively, 38, became well-known for her part in the popular movie *The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants* and later as the lively character Serena van der Woodsen in the TV series *Gossip Girl*.

These women have all faced public scandals in the past, but they’ve each handled the resulting criticism differently.

After rumors surfaced about a possible emotional connection between Jodie Foster and Hugh Jackman while he was married to Deborra-Lee Furness, Foster reportedly tried to avoid public attention. Furness had apparently suspected Foster and Jackman of having an affair.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness revealed they were separating in September 2023 after nearly 30 years of marriage. However, in January, reports confirmed they were dating again, spotted holding hands after a dinner in Los Angeles.

Despite being involved in public controversies, like the legal issues surrounding ‘It Ends With Us’ and a falling out with Taylor Swift, Lively continued to attend public events and rely on her friends for support. In contrast, Foster prefers a more private life in New York City. This autumn, she’s touring smaller towns like Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Germantown, Tennessee, showing that she remains connected to her roots as a performer from Georgia.

According to another source at Daily Mail, Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes share a relationship dynamic similar to that of Taylor Swift and Mahomes-they’re connected through their husbands, but also maintain their own individual personalities and interests.

Taylor Swift and Patrick Mahomes are both connected to players on the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite their different backgrounds, they’ll likely have prime seats at games for the foreseeable future.

Both Foster and Lively plan to support their partners, as they’ll be appearing alongside them in the new comedy film, Boy Band. The movie, written by and starring Reynolds, follows a group of former boy band members who reconnect later in life.

I’m honestly amazed by Taylor Swift and Patrick Mahomes! It’s so cool to see them become friends, even though they have completely different views on politics. It just proves they can connect on a personal level despite their differences, and I really admire that.

According to the source, the Bunheads actress and Blake Lively are just casual acquaintances who have always been polite to each other.

Although the female leads haven’t connected, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman remain close friends, and their bond is strengthening as they prepare to work together again on their upcoming movie about a boy band.

Reynolds has often talked about how Jackman influenced his dedication to work early in his career, when he was just starting out. He frequently shares his admiration for his longtime friend.

Despite facing their own personal challenges – Reynolds with a legal dispute related to his book ‘It Ends With Us,’ and Jackman dealing with rumors about an affair – the two have continued to support each other.

According to a source, this situation hasn’t caused any problems between Hugh and Ryan, and they aren’t worried about their partners’ relationship.

The Daily Mail has contacted reps for Lively and Foster for comment.
