Nicole Kidman lit up the 2026 Met Gala as a co-chair, walking the red carpet in a custom red sequined Chanel gown with her daughter, Sunday Rose, making her debut at the event. But behind the scenes, sources claim Kidman was staying far away from Hugh Jackman and his girlfriend, Sutton Foster. In the source’s words, the “Scarpetta” actor “didn’t want drama,” and it all reportedly came down to choosing sides with Jackman’s former wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, after their divorce.
Nicole Kidman intentionally ‘kept her distance’ from Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, claims source
Insiders exclusively told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice that Nicole Kidman intentionally avoided any interaction with Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster throughout the Met Gala evening — and the reason was about loyalty to Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. As an insider claimed, “Nicole is firmly Team Deb.”
The insider also claimed, “She believes Deb was deeply hurt by how everything unfolded, and Nicole isn’t interested in pretending otherwise.”
Jackman and Foster officially debuted as a couple at the 2026 Met Gala, a night that for decades belonged to Jackman and Furness. The former couple ended their 27-year-long marriage in 2023. Furness later called the split a “traumatic journey of betrayal” in a statement to The Daily Mail last year.
Additionally, a source explained that Hollywood did not forget “Deb’s ‘betrayal’ comment.” They added, “A lot of people close to her feel Hugh did her wrong, and Nicole is one of the friends who has stayed incredibly protective.”
Kidman has known and respected Furness for years, and she reportedly ensured that she would not run into Jackman and Foster. The insider suggested, “She didn’t want drama,” adding, “But she also wasn’t going to play happy families for the cameras,” all while focusing on her duties as co-chair alongside Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, and Venus Williams.
But Nicole Kidman’s avoidance at the Met Gala reportedly did not go unnoticed, which is imperative in a room full of stars.
