Hugh Jackman has stepped into another round of romance chatter, and this one comes with legal tension. A recent tabloid report claims the actor wants a private talk with Sutton Foster’s estranged husband, Ted Griffin. The alleged goal is simple, at least on paper: clear the air while Foster’s divorce remains unresolved. Still, nobody involved has publicly confirmed that such a meeting exists.
Hugh Jackman Wants Answers, Report Says
IBTimes UK, citing The Globe, reported that Jackman feels frustrated by the pace of Foster’s divorce. The report claims he wants to meet Griffin in New York and discuss the situation privately. That sounds dramatic, of course, but the story leans on anonymous sourcing. It also does not point to public court filings about any planned meeting.
Foster filed for divorce from Griffin on Oct. 22, 2024, according to court records reviewed by E! News. The Broadway star shares daughter Emily with Griffin, which adds another layer to the public attention. Jackman, meanwhile, finalized his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in early June 2025. The former couple had announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
Broadway Chemistry Became Public Romance
Jackman and Foster first worked together in the Broadway revival of “The Music Man.” Their closeness later turned into a public relationship after both stars separated from their spouses. People reported that the pair went public in January 2025 and later made red carpet appearances together. That timeline keeps fueling fan debate, even when verified details remain limited.
The speculation grew louder as Jackman and Foster appeared more comfortable in public. They attended the 2026 Met Gala together on May 4 in New York. People described the night as a stylish date-night moment for the couple. Foster wore a gold metallic gown, while Jackman arrived in a classic black tuxedo.
A Romance Under A Microscope
Their recent appearances have turned every gesture into a talking point. Before the Met Gala, Jackman and Foster attended “The Sheep Detectives” premiere in New York on April 19. They appeared together at Jazz at Lincoln Center, where the cast marked the film’s upcoming release. That public-facing moment gave gossip accounts more material to dissect.
The alleged Ted Griffin meeting now sits in that messy space between celebrity report and verified fact. The claim has heat, but it still lacks direct confirmation. Jackman, Foster, and Griffin have not publicly addressed the reported plan. So for now, the story remains more rumor-room drama than settled fact.
Still, the timing explains why the chatter keeps moving. Jackman and Foster look increasingly public, while Foster’s divorce remains part of the backdrop. That contrast gives the story its hook. But without confirmation, the biggest question is not what Jackman wants next. It is whether this reported meeting ever happens at all.
