Actor Hugh Jackman is reportedly planning on soft launching his relationship with fellow Broadway star Sutton Foster.
The couple reportedly got involved when the Australian actor was still married to Deborra-Lee Furness.
Jackman has been accused of "running off with the mistress" ahead of the couple's plan to debut their relationship.
The rumours started to circulate after Deborra allegedly liked a video about Jackman's affair on Instagram.
She 'liked' a video from gossip blogger Tasha Lustig where she discusses Jackman's affair.
The actor got involved with Sutton Foster when they were working on the Music Man together.
The couple's affair is reportedly, "Broadway's worst-kept secret".
Insiders said they'd have to "dream up the Disney story of the ages" to win over the public following the affair.

It is understood that the couple's friendship turned romantic when they were working on Broadway together but they were both married at the time.

Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin on October 25th, 2023.
The couple are reportedly "very happy" but have not yet made their relationship privacy amid fears of backlash.
A source told US Weekly, "A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap."
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness met in 1995 and tied the knot a year later in 1996.
The couple share two children, a son and a daughter.
