Following the concerning behavior on social media, an insider has come forward to exclusively tell DailyMail.com that the actor has no interest in reviving his love life as of now. A relationship is the last priority on his long list, so he is throwing himself into work. The insider said,

Hugh is aware of his fans and their concern for his well-being, but he is good. He is excited for Deadpool and being Wolverine again. That’s where most of his focus is going – on work and being present for that. When it comes to his love life, he thinks it is funny that so many people are wanting to know all about it. He will get there again. It isn’t a priority, but if something materialized, he would make it a priority.

However, after the immense concern from fans, the insider stated that the actor is “healthy and happy” and that he is cherishing life to its fullest “right now.”

Though fans were blessed to witness one of the sweetest love stories in Tinseltown, both stars have been focusing on individual growth and navigating through life since the split.
