Hugh Jackman And Sutton Foster’s Romance Is Reportedly ‘Going Strong’

The actor is reportedly looking to tie the knot with the Broadway star, as insiders say he’s very happy with her.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster started dating after leaving their respective ex-spouses, but sources claim they got very close while starring on the Broadway revival of “The Music Man.”

Seven months after stepping out as a couple, Jackman and Foster are reportedly “going strong,” with a source revealing that their relationship is built on a “good foundation.”

The “Wolverine” star and his girlfriend originally met in the early 2000s, but were just colleagues, supporting each other as they planted their roots in different Broadway musicals.

However, the pair confirmed their romance in January this year when they were spotted holding hands on their way to dinner in Santa Monica, California.

The insider who spoke to People Magazine also shared that the lovebirds were seen holding hands last month at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts.

They added that the actor was “excited” to support her “One Night Only” performance at Tanglewood Music Center, alongside Kelli O’Hara.

Back in May, they were also seen walking hand-in-hand in New York City as Jackman was starring in the Off-Broadway play “Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Class.”

Jackman separated from his ex-wife, Deborra Lee-Furness, in September 2023, before kicking off his romance with Foster, who, on her part, filed for divorce from her now-ex-husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024.

Reports suggest that they grew closer to each other on the set of “The Music Man,” with some sources saying their relationship was Hollywood’s worst-kept secret.

In 2022, Foster gushed to People about her bond with Jackman, saying, “The best thing that’s happened out of this whole thing is that I’ve made a new friend, which you never anticipate.”

“We always joke that after 40, you don’t really make new friends!” she added. “He’s a dream and so kind and talented and is even more generous. He’s pretty fantastic.”

Jackman finalized his divorce from Furness on June 12, about one month after the actress made a filing.

As previously reported by The Blast, the estranged couple announced last September that their 27-year marriage had hit the rocks and was made all the more complicated as they didn’t sign a prenup.

The judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, but the paperwork  wasn’t made public until Monday, June 23, as two other documents were made two days before the judgment was entered: a “Qualified Medical Child Support Order,” regarding children’s insurance, and “Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law.”

Insiders had earlier thought that Jackman and Furness’s divorce would be “messy” because of the absence of a prenup.

However, they were able to reach a settlement on the issue with a source telling the Daily Mail that Furness received a “handsome spousal support payment.”

“A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,” the insider shared. “There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement, but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.”

“There is not going to be any drama as this gives the closure that she needed,” they added.
