Hugh Jackman, age fifty-seven and best known for his role in the film Wolverine, has officially confirmed his relationship with Sutton Foster, age fifty.
On December twenty-sixth, Jackman shared photos and videos on social media celebrating Foster’s recent musical performance in New York, highlighting her presence on stage and publicly acknowledging their relationship in the process.
Sutton Foster performing at Café Carlyle during the holiday season set the scene for a quintessential New York evening, and Jackman described the moment as nothing short of magical.
Foster, dressed in a sparkling emerald green gown, noticed Jackman recording her and responded with a shy wave as her cheeks flushed. Last year, Page Six reported that the two were dating and had fallen in love while maintaining a private relationship.
An insider shared in October 2024 that they spend most of their free time together and prefer to remain low-key. Jackman and Foster first met while co-starring in the Broadway revival of The Music Man, which ran from December 2021 to January 2023, during which both were still married.
Rumors of Jackman’s infidelity surfaced in September 2023, followed by his separation from Deborra Lee Furness, who was 69 at the time. Foster also filed for divorce from her husband of about ten years, Ted Griffin, intensifying speculation surrounding the pair.
Furness officially filed for divorce in May, and after negotiating their 250 million USD estate, the couple reached a settlement a month later.
According to the Daily Mail, despite receiving substantial spousal support, Furness remains resentful over the alleged affair, and insiders say their dynamic during the divorce was strained, with reports that she has been speaking to publishers about a potential tell-all memoir.
In a May statement, Furness shared that her heart goes out to anyone who has endured the painful journey of betrayal, adding that although the experience leaves lasting scars, she continues to trust in a higher power and the belief that the universe ultimately works in our favor.
She reflected that life sometimes places us in difficult situations to push us back toward our authentic selves and help us reclaim self-love, emphasizing that while the process is painful, living in alignment with integrity, values, and personal boundaries is ultimately freeing.
