The long-standing camaraderie between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman seems to be facing challenges, particularly due to Jackman’s recent romantic involvement with Broadway star Sutton Foster. A source has revealed that Reynolds, age 49, has not fully embraced Jackman’s new relationship, as Foster, 50, and Jackman are reportedly eager to formalize their romance through a grand wedding.
An insider claims that while Reynolds would never directly ask Jackman to reconsider the relationship, he has made little effort to welcome Foster into his close-knit circle of friends. “Ryan isn’t about to tell Hugh to break up with her,” the source noted, “but he’s also doing nothing to bring Sutton into the tight-knit group of A-listers he associates with.”
The tension is thought to originate from perceived status discrepancies. Although Foster has an illustrious career on Broadway and has garnered acclaim for her role in the television series “Younger,” she does not share the same level of star power as Reynolds and his Hollywood companions. “Ryan sees himself as a movie star and a mogul, and he’s careful about the company he keeps,” the insider explained, drawing comparisons to Reynolds’ past relationships and his rise in the entertainment industry.
Jackman, age 57, is reportedly taking steps to protect Foster from any potential feelings of inadequacy or snobbery from Reynolds. “Hugh and Sutton have to sequester themselves from Ryan and his family,” the source added, emphasizing Jackman’s desire to create a supportive environment for Foster.
As for future plans, a source indicated that Jackman has a plethora of ideas for the wedding, but he will keep the engagement under wraps until Foster completes her divorce from her former husband, Ted Griffin. The evolving dynamics among these celebrities offer a glimpse into the complexities of relationships navigated amidst fame and public scrutiny. Despite the apparent tensions, there remains hope that the friendship between Reynolds and Jackman can endure this new chapter in their lives.
