Aussie actor Hugh Jackman has returned home just in time for the Christmas holidays.
On Sunday, the Hollywood star, 56, was spotted visiting Speedos Café in the trendy seaside suburb of North Bondi.
Exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia show Hugh dining with a male friend while blending in amongst the cafe-goers.
Hugh was also accompanied by his two adopted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren – Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19 – whom he shares with his estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness.
Oscar and Ava appear to be spending the holidays with their Wolverine actor father this year following their parents’ split in September 2023. It is unclear if their mother is also returning to Australia for Christmas.
Hugh and his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are likely staying at his stunning $12million North Bondi penthouse.
Hugh purchased the luxury low-rise apartment for $5.9million in 2015. The three-bedroom property has panoramic ocean views and luxury finishes throughout.
For his beach outing, Hugh dressed comfortably in a fitted black shirt and a pair of shorts, while his son Oscar wore white shorts and a red plaid shirt paired with a brown bucket hat.
The Greatest Showman star’s daughter Ava was dressed in relax-fitted jeans and a loose white T-shirt.
Hugh and his two kids seemed to be in good spirits and were seen happily chatting inside the café before exploring Bondi Beach.
The trio were accompanied by Hugh’s male friend as they strolled along the coastal walk.
An eager fan also captured the family on Sunday as they dined at the Sydney hotspot.
In the footage, Hugh appeared to know the waitresses who work at the eatery.
The sighting comes after reports that Hugh’s ex-wife Deb is said to have been ‘seething with rage’ over his rumoured new romance with Sutton Foster.
Hugh and Deb, 69, confirmed their separation after almost three decades together in September 2023, and he is now said to be dating Broadway star Sutton, 49.
It has been claimed that Deb was enraged at being ‘the last to know’ about the relationship.
According to Radaronline, Deb was especially unimpressed with Hugh’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, who both allegedly ‘kept quiet’ about the rumoured romance.
‘They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,’ a source told the publication.
‘Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn’t afraid to use it.
‘Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut,’ they added.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Deborra and Ryan’s representatives for comment.
Hugh was reportedly planning to introduce Sutton to his and Deb’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren over the festive period.
However, Deb was allegedly ‘not keen on the idea’ with a source claiming that she does not want a ‘blended’ family Christmas.
‘It’s a delicate balancing act and he feels like if anyone is going to spend less time with the kids this year, it’s him,’ they added.
The insider said Hugh and Sutton are determined to make their relationship work and are keeping things low-key at the moment.
Hugh and Sutton took on the roles of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo in The Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023 at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan.
The pair have attended public events together, stepping out at the opening night of their show The Music Man on Broadway in February 2022.
In September 2023, Hugh shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Deb.
‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a joint statement.
‘Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.’
