Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster: New Romance Confirmed with a Sweet Date Night
In a recent sighting in Santa Monica, California, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster were spotted looking absolutely smitten during a romantic evening on Monday. The Hollywood actors were seen walking hand-in-hand through the starry neighborhood, sparking rumors of a budding romance between the two beloved stars.
The Date Night Details
Photos from their outing captured the couple’s undeniable chemistry as they made their way to a restaurant for a cozy dinner date. Hugh Jackman, known for his iconic roles as Deadpool and Wolverine, opted for a casual look in a grey crewneck and zip-up bomber jacket paired with white slacks and slip-on gray sneakers. On the other hand, Sutton Foster, star of the hit series “Younger,” rocked an earthy color scheme with an olive-green maxi dress under a camel trench coat, accessorized with a black top-handle purse, pointy pumps, and silver dangly earrings.
Broadway Bond
As two prominent figures in the Broadway world, Jackman and Foster share a longstanding connection that dates back to 2008. Their paths first crossed when Jackman attended a performance of “Shrek the Musical,” where Foster portrayed Princess Fiona. They later shared a dance during the 68th annual Tony Awards in 2018.
Their bond truly solidified during the 2022 Broadway revival of “The Music Man,” where Jackman starred as Professor Harold Hill and Foster played Marian Paroo. Despite both stars having ended previous marriages in recent years, their newfound connection seems to have blossomed on and off the stage.
Previous Relationships
Hugh Jackman was previously married to fellow actor Deborra-Lee Furness for nearly three decades, from 1996 to 2023, before announcing their separation in September of that year. Similarly, Sutton Foster was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin from 2014 until she filed for divorce in October of the previous year.
Rumors of Jackman and Foster’s relationship began circulating shortly after news of Foster’s divorce went public, with reports surfacing about their newfound romance. However, this recent public appearance marks the first time the couple has been seen together, seemingly confirming their status as Hollywood’s latest power couple.
