Hugh Jackman reveals why he's in 'heaven' after a surprise return home

The festive season is here, and it’s not just the jingle bells causing a buzz.

An Australian celebrity was spotted diving into the crystal-clear waters of Bondi Beach.

This acclaimed actor, known for his versatile roles and charming persona, has returned to his homeland for some sun, surf, and family time this Christmas.


It’s been a year to remember for Hugh Jackman, who is now soaking up some well-deserved downtime in Australia over the Christmas holidays.

The 56-year-old actor was spotted enjoying a refreshing swim at Bondi Beach on Sunday, where he shared with a local photographer that it was 'heaven' to be back on home turf.

After the massive success of Deadpool 3, which raked in a staggering $US1.338 billion globally, Jackman was spotted spending quality time with his rarely-seen children.

Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, were seen enjoying the time together. The trio were later spotted grabbing coffee together at a local café.

While Jackman’s Bondi appearance has attracted attention, it’s his luxurious penthouse that has also made headlines.

He’s likely staying at the Bondi apartment he purchased in 2015. Jackman shares his children with ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he parted ways in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.

The family’s Christmas plans remain unclear, as Furness, 69, is believed to be overseas. Whether or not the family will spend the festive season together remains to be seen.


As Jackman unwinds in Sydney, reports have continued to swirl regarding his rumoured romance with US actress Sutton Foster, 49.

The pair, who co-starred in The Music Man on Broadway from late 2021 until January 2023, have yet to confirm their relationship.

In October, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, 53.


Jackman and Foster’s relationship remains unspoken publicly, although a friend of Furness, British actress Amanda de Cadenet, sparked further speculation on social media in November.

After leaving a comment on a video suggesting Jackman had moved on from Furness to be with Foster, de Cadenet wrote, ‘You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI!’

Jackman and Foster have yet to comment on the ongoing rumours about their relationship.

In 2022, Foster spoke highly of Jackman during an interview, calling him 'the hardest-working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true.'

She also praised his ability to connect with others, saying, 'He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him.'

For his part, Jackman has consistently shown admiration for Foster. Before The Music Man opened in 2021, he posted on social media, calling her 'an exceptional talent and friend.'

He added, 'Your joy brings the entire company of @musicmanbway to life.'


In a previous story, Hugh Jackman opened up about his ongoing battle with skin cancer, revealing the emotional toll it has taken on him.

The actor shared how he remembers feeling “pretty scared” during his diagnosis and the importance of taking care of his health. Read the full article here.
