- Sources say Kidman is "firmly Team Deb" and chose to avoid interaction with Jackman to prevent drama and not feign a happy family dynamic for the cameras.
- Many guests at the event were reportedly uncomfortable due to the recent end of Jackman’s long marriage, with insiders noting lingering Hollywood sympathy for Deborra-Lee Furness.
- Deborra-Lee Furness was said to be devastated by Jackman and Foster's joint Met Gala appearance, as she and Jackman had previously shared the event as a couple and had agreed to alternate attendance after their split.
