URGENT UPDATE: Tensions are rising between Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as Jackman seeks to protect his new girlfriend, Broadway star Sutton Foster, from perceived snobbery within Reynolds’ elite social circle. Sources say Reynolds, 49, has not embraced Jackman’s relationship with Foster, 50, who is looking to make their romance official with a lavish wedding.
According to an insider from Star Magazine, Reynolds has made no effort to welcome Foster into his inner circle of A-list friends and associates. “Ryan isn’t about to tell Hugh to break up with her,” the source revealed, “but he’s also doing nothing to bring Sutton into the tight-knit group he surrounds himself with.”
The friction reportedly stems from a perceived “status” divide. While Foster has a celebrated background on Broadway and accolades from her role in the hit series Younger, her global recognition pales in comparison to Reynolds’ Hollywood stature. The insider elaborated, “To put it in high school terms, Ryan is the homecoming king and captain of the football team, and Sutton is one of the geeky theater girls.”
Jackman, 57, is reportedly determined to shield Foster from any negative perceptions. “Hugh and Sutton have to sequester themselves from Ryan and his family,” the insider disclosed, emphasizing Jackman’s protective nature.
In a further twist, the same source indicated that Jackman has exciting plans for their upcoming wedding but will wait to announce their engagement publicly until Foster finalizes her divorce from husband Ted Griffin.
The dynamics between these stars are drawing significant attention as fans watch closely. The playful camaraderie that has defined Reynolds and Jackman’s friendship is now teetering on the brink, raising questions about the future of their bond. As developments unfold, many are eager to see how Jackman navigates this personal and professional crossroads.
Stay tuned for updates as this story continues to develop.
