After his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman seems to have found love again. The actor was seen holding hands with Sutton Foster, his co-star in “The Music Man.” A story of friendship that becomes a romance, but which is not without causing family tensions.
After 27 years of marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, Hugh Jackman seems to be turning the page. The Australian actor, famous for his role as Wolverine, would have found love in the arms of actress Sutton Foster. The couple was spotted holding hands in Santa Monica, leaving little room for doubt about the nature of their relationship.
A bond born on the stages of Broadway
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster know each other well: in 2022, they co-starred in the musical “The Music Man”. Their collaboration gave rise to a strong friendship, which Sutton Foster described as “a breath of fresh air”. “It’s really nice to make new friends after forty years”she confided at the time. A friendship which, visibly, evolved into a romantic relationship.
Acclaimed Broadway actress Sutton Foster has been single since last October, after filing for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, with whom she shared 10 years of marriage. Hugh Jackman, for his part, formalized his separation from Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023, after almost three decades of living together.
A relationship under family tension
If this new love story seems to delight the two actors, it is not without creating tensions. According to people close to the couple, Deborra-Lee Furness does not approve of Sutton Foster meeting their children, Oscar (24) and Ava (19). Hugh Jackman would have liked to organize this meeting during the end of year holidays, but his ex-wife was categorically opposed.
The reasons for their divorce also continue to generate much ink. Some sources claim that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster tied the knot while he was still married, which fueled tensions in his marriage.
While rumors and speculation surround this new romance, neither Hugh Jackman nor Sutton Foster have officially confirmed their relationship. Their public appearance in Santa Monica could be a simple demonstration of their complicity… or a way of finally coming to terms with their story.
