Hugh Jackman, a prominent figure in Hollywood, was primarily known for his past issues like alleged steroid use for his role as Wolverine. Recently, however, he has found himself in real turmoil. After his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, rumors have surfaced claiming he is romantically involved with his “The Music Man” co-star, Sutton Foster, who recently filed for divorce from her husband after nearly ten years.
As mentioned in People, Foster, married to writer Ted Griffin since 2013 and sharing a child with him, filed for divorce in New York on October 22, 2024. It’s her second divorce, her previous marriage to Broadway actor Christian Borle ending in 2009. Both Foster and Griffin have been tight-lipped about the details of their split, but in the past, Foster had praised Griffin for revolutionizing her perspective on love. “When I met my husband, it was the first time that I finally went, ‘Oh, I get it,'” she noted in an essay.
While the specifics of their breakup remain unclear, whispers suggest Jackman may be involved. If the speculation holds any truth, it appears the chemistry between Jackman and Foster has crossed from the stage to real life.
Dating rumors heat up
It seems Hugh Jackman has not been keeping a low profile following his divorce. Reports indicate he may be dating Sutton Foster, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among Broadway insiders. Sources revealed to Page Six that they are attempting to maintain discretion, but their chemistry is evidently undeniable. There are speculations that Jackman could be a factor in Foster’s recent separation. According to insiders, “They are 100 percent together and in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” with another source stating that they are inseparable. “They spend all their free time together and act like a typical couple, just privately.”
Interestingly, this is not the first time romance rumors have surrounded the pair. In December 2023, InTouch reported that Jackman showed interest in Foster while she was still married. An insider commented on Jackman’s apparent fascination: “[Hugh] has been besotted with Sutton from the moment they met.” Fans speculated about their connection on social media, noting Foster’s subtle actions, like selling her house and distancing herself from her husband long before the announcement of her divorce.
Regardless of their current relationship status, it seems plausible. Jackman has openly expressed his fondness for Foster, stating how fortunate he felt to work with her. “This is something I have wanted to do for over 20 years … Sutton Foster is just a dream,” he remarked to New York Theater Guide, showing a hint of infatuation.
