50-year-old actress walked the red carpet alone amid speculation over her connection to the Wolverine star, 56, whose messy divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness has sparked widespread chatter.

Furness, 69, officially filed for divorce two years after their separation and broke her silence in a powerful message which was seemingly aimed at her ex. “My heart and compassion go out to

everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said.

‌ Unbothered by the drama, Foster smiled for photos with costar Michael Urie but avoided press and exited the red carpet quickly, escorted by her publicist. While other stars like Nicole

Scherzinger and Debra Messing gave interviews, Foster steered clear.

‌ This was her first public appearance since Furness’s sharp words. She was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical alongside names like Darren Criss and Jonathan Groff - who

all stopped to chat with media.

the same $22 million Chelsea home he bought with Furness in 2022.

making the penthouse her own - the place she poured her soul into.”

Jackman was recently spotted helping Foster carry boxes into the luxury apartment. Days later, she was seen biking away from the building. In her exclusive interview with Mail Online,

Furness made her feelings painfully clear: “Hugh’s betrayal is a profound wound that cuts deep.”

is always working FOR us. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,” she said.

“Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your

own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

The former couple filed for divorce in New York on 23 May. They then announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. Jackman, best known for playing Wolverine in the

X-men film series, has not responded directly to Furness's statement.

children.
