“She has been a huge source of strength for him,” a source tells New Idea.

Hugh, 55, was estranged from his mother for many years after she left the family home in Sydney, when Hugh was eight, to return to her native England.

Hugh’s sisters Zoe and Sonya went to live with Grace while Hugh remained in Australia with his dad, Christopher, and brothers Ian and Ralph.

Hugh has only recently fully made peace with Grace leaving, after he consulted with a therapist while filming his 2022 movie The Son.

“I found it really helpful,” Hugh admitted earlier this year.
