New reports indicate that actor Hugh Jackman may be developing a close bond with Ella Beatty, the daughter of well-known Hollywood figures Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. This developing closeness is said to be affecting Jackman’s current relationship with Sutton Foster.
Jackman and Foster have been publicly dating since January 2024. Their relationship began after both actors went through their own divorces. Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their separation in September 2023, while Foster filed for divorce from Christian Griffin a month later.
Potential Shift in Hugh Jackman’s Relationships
Sources suggest that the connection between Jackman and Foster, which grew quickly after their respective splits, is now facing difficulties. This comes as Jackman appears to be spending more time with 25-year-old Ella Beatty.
Jackman, 56, and Beatty are currently starring in the Off-Broadway play Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes. In the play, Jackman portrays a professor who becomes involved with a teenage student, a role that includes a passionate kiss scene with Beatty.
Reports suggest that the chemistry between the two actors extends beyond the stage. An insider was quoted as saying, “Hugh and Ella share a very passionate kiss in the play, but everyone has noticed that even offstage Hugh is still very flirtatious with her.” This growing connection between Jackman and Beatty has raised questions about his ongoing relationship with Foster.
Warren Beatty’s Concerns Regarding Daughter’s Closeness with Hugh Jackman
The situation is reportedly causing concern for Ella Beatty’s father, Warren Beatty. A source noted, “Plus, Warren is not very happy about it – so Hugh is really playing with fire here as he still has massive clout in Hollywood, as does his wife Annette.”
The reported closeness with Beatty is happening at a time when Jackman’s relationship with Sutton Foster is said to be experiencing challenges. Insiders indicate that Foster might be feeling overlooked due to Jackman’s demanding work schedule, which has led to them spending less time together.
The source added, “No doubt Sutton’s feeling a bit on the back burner because they’ve been spending less and less time together lately because of Hugh’s busy work schedule.”
The ongoing divorce proceedings between Jackman and Furness are also mentioned as a source of stress for the actor. The insider commented, “The relationship was already facing some tension, largely because his divorce from Deb has been so drawn out and emotionally exhausting that it’s left Hugh on edge.”
Some friends of Jackman are reportedly questioning his recent relationship choices. The source mentioned, “His split with Deb and the way he rushed into the arms of Sutton had a lot of people questioning if Hugh was experiencing some sort of midlife crisis. Now friends are wondering if this flirtation with Ella is further proof of that.”
