Hugh Jackman Relationships Sutton Foster

Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster are like pandemic-era Ben Affleck & Ana de Armas




The Hugh Jackman/Sutton Foster relationship launch tour is still in full effect. So far, we’ve had exclusive date night pictures via People, paparazzi shots of them making out in the parking lot of an In-N-Out Burger, and snaps of Hugh watching Sutton perform in the musical “Once Upon a Mattress” in Los Angeles. Well, another day, another Hutton(Sugh?) sighting. I was wondering where they would pop up next and now we have our answer. If you had “taking a romantic stroll through Los Angeles in their comfy clothes” on your bingo card, you can cross it off! The PDA tour is all gas, no breaks.

The Deadpool & Wolverine star and two-time Tony Award winner stepped out in Los Angeles for a casual stroll together on Jan. 8, and the pair were practically beaming while taking in some sun.

For the early morning outing, Sutton, 49, kept cozy in a pair of dark salmon joggers, green slippers and a gray crewneck sweatshirt. Meanwhile, Hugh, 56, matched her comfy aesthetic, rocking a dark gray crewneck that read “East Hampton Gym,” navy blue joggers and a pair of blue slip-on sneakers.

And the couple—who confirmed their romance earlier this month, when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand following a dinner date in Santa Monica, Calif.—stayed close while getting some fresh air, holding tightly onto each other’s hands while Hugh carried a tin foil food tray to deliver to a friend’s house. At one point, they turned toward each other as they rounded a street corner, smiling and sharing a big laugh.

Hugh and Sutton—who were friends for nearly a decade before sparking romance rumors—certainly haven’t been shy about packing on the PDA. Shortly after their first public date night, the duo were seen locking lips while grabbing burgers from In-N-Out in Los Angeles.

During that date, the Greatest Showman actor leaned toward the Younger alum, who cradled his face for a steamy makeout session while they waited in the drive thru line at the famed establishment.

So, at one point, while their relationship was still only whispers and TikTok vids, I actually thought that Hugh and Sutton would remain under the radar and stay fairly lowkey. Given that their relationship basically started while both were married to other people, I really did think that they would take the Ariana Grande/SpongeBob Sidepiece route of laying low. I was wrong! They are clearly all-in, with spirit fingers. All of these sudden pap strolls…it’s giving Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas during lockdowns. Remember when they used to do their daily Dunkin runs/dog walks/pap strolls? That wasn’t even five full years ago, yet it feels like it was another lifetime. Anyway, Hugh and Sutton and all of their pap strolls absolutely have that Ben/Ana “look at us” energy. Someone get these two thirsty bitches a glass of water.

Lovebirds Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster seem overjoyed that their relationship is now out in the open after months of rumors swirling around the former co-stars.

Back in November, after the news of Sutton Foster’s impending divorce broke, I predicted that she and Hugh Jackman would launch their relationship in the new year. They wasted no time. During the first week in January, they were photographed on a date night at a Santa Monica restaurant called Father’s Office Pub. It was a classic old school hard launch, with People getting the exclusive photos. Well, now that the cat’s out of the bag, Hugh and Sutton are free to publicly hold hands and make out wherever and whenever they want, and that’s exactly what they’re going to do, damnit! In fact, just last week, they were spotted making out in the parking lot of an In-N-Out in San Fernando.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster got hot and heavy during a low-key dinner date at In-N-Out last week.

In photos obtained by Page Six, the new couple could be seen passionately kissing outside the chain burger joint in San Fernando, Calif.

At first, the smitten “Music Man” co-stars laughed and repeatedly kissed inside the parked Range Rover.

After exiting the car, Jackman walked to the passenger side and opened the door for the “Psych” alum before embracing her.

In response, Foster placed her hands on her beau’s face before they shared another smooch and walked into the fast food restaurant.

The two Broadway stars kept things casual for the outing with the “Wolverine” actor, 56, wearing a black polo and chinos while Foster, 49, opted for brown joggers and a yellow blouse.

Alright, you two, we see you. A little bit of hand-holding in Santa Monica, a whole lot of mackin’ it at an In-N-Out… what, are they playing Hollywood relationship bingo? What’s next? Lunch at the Grove? Frolicking in the sun in Turks and Caicos? Too bad they just missed the Eras Tour because I bet the VIP section would be a stop on the relationship launch tour too. In all seriousness, though, I do hope that whatever they do next, it’s respectful to their exes. I know everyone involved is an adult and they’re all free to do whatever they want now, but still. Even if all is amicable, it still has to suck for their ex-spouses to see pictures of them making out with each other in public.

Hugh Jackman Sutton Foster

New couple Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster were photographed holding hands

In September 2023, Hugh Jackman and Deborra Lee Furness announced their separation after 27 years of marriage. While rumors swirled instantly, it also felt like a big mystery of why now and what has really changed. Then, just a few months later, we began hearing a lot about Hugh and Sutton Foster. Sutton and Hugh had worked together and they were good friends. But it looked like Hugh and Sutton’s relationship had become more than that, and they were possibly carrying on with each other while they were both married to other people. Last October, Sutton filed for divorce too. Things started to feel inevitable, and here we go – People Magazine has published exclusive photos of Hugh and Sutton looking very coupled-up.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are stepping out together. The former Music Man costars enjoyed a low-key, laughter-filled night out for dinner in Santa Monica, Calif., on Monday, Jan. 6. Arriving together and holding hands, Jackman, 56, kept it casual in a dark jacket over a grey shirt and white jeans, while Foster, 49, fresh off an acclaimed Broadway revival and L.A. run of Once Upon a Mattress, wore a tan trench coat over an olive dress.

Jackman, who issued a joint statement with ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness in September 2023 announcing their split after 27 years of marriage, was relaxed and upbeat as he and Foster enjoyed their night out. The Tony Award-winning actress and singer filed for divorce in October from husband Ted Griffin following 10 years of marriage.

Jackman and Foster’s reps did not have immediate comment on the outing.

On Saturday, Jan. 4, Jackman attended one of the final performances of Foster’s Once Upon a Mattress at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre. He was joined in the audience by Carol Burnett — who played Foster’s role in the original 1959 production.

Yeah, this was an affair. Maybe it started out as an emotional affair and maybe they fought their feelings for each other for a while, but they still blew up their marriages for each other. It’s interesting that Hugh hasn’t gotten more sh-t for it too, but that’s possibly down to his general popularity? It’s also a big choice to do this kind of relationship-confirmation via a People Magazine exclusive, with photos.

Affairs Deborra-Lee Furness Hugh Jackman Sutton Foster

Deborra-Lee Furness’s friend: rumors of Hugh Jackman’s affair are ‘spot on’




For the past year, there have been rumors that Hugh Jackman and Broadway star Sutton Foster had been having an affair. The affair allegedly began while they were co-starring together in the 2022 revival of The Music Man, but the whispers got louder after Hugh and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage last September. Then, last month, Sutton filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, screenwriter Ted Griffin. After that news dropped, a source close to Deborra-Lee confirmed that she’d had “suspicions” about her husband and his co-worker from the very start of the MM production.

Personally, I felt like the source speaking out for Deborra-Lee was all of the confirmation I needed to know that the rumors were true. All signs pointed to Hugh and Sutton being together, but waiting for the right time to soft launch their relationship. But as they gear up to do so, Deborra-Lee’s friends are not about to let it happen without making some waves first and defending their girl. Gossip blogger Tasha Lustig recently made a video about the Hugh/Sutton/Deborra-Lee drama. In it, she reiterated that she’d known Hugh was “up to no good” by running off with his “mistress.” At the end of the video, she proclaimed that karma would get both Hugh and Sutton for being cheaters while Deborrah-Lee was about to get a “glow up.” One of D-L’s friends got into the comments, calling the video, “spot on.”

A friend of Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, seemingly claimed the rumors of his affair with Sutton Foster are true.

British actress and photographer Amanda de Cadenet appeared to make the bombshell claim in the comments section of an Instagram video alleging Jackman left his wife for Foster after the two fell in love while starring together in “The Music Man” on Broadway.

“You are on point with this one ☝????,” de Cadenet claimed in response. “My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment FYI !”

[From Page Six]

I do really think that Deborrah-Lee is focused on moving on and healing and wants to be left out of the Sutton/Hugh drama. That said, she has some really good friends, and they are clearly so protective of her that they’re not going to go quietly. I bet they’re not really going rogue, though. DL’s an actress and a producer; she knows how to play the PR game. Fear of backlash from “sources” is probably why Hugh and Sutton haven’t started their soft launch yet. I predict it won’t start until after New Year’s. We’ll get dribbles of stories about how they spent the holidays together, love Christmastime in New York, and are really looking forward to what 2025 will bring for them as a couple, blah blah blah. I’m looking forward to seeing what Deborra-Lee’s friends have to say once they’re officially out as being together.

Deborra-Lee Furness Divorces Hugh Jackman Relationships Sutton Foster

Deborra-Lee Furness had her ‘suspicions’ about Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster




Last week, the news broke that Broadway actress Sutton Foster had filed for divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin. For the past year, there have been rumors that Sutton was a factor in Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness getting divorced after 27 years of marriage. Sutton and Hugh co-starred in the revival of The Music Man in 2022. So far, both Hugh and Sutton have remained mum, not giving any official confirmation or rollout as a couple. However, according to a source, Debora-Lee had “suspicions” about the two from the very beginning of the MM production and was not surprised at all when they started dating.

Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness had ‘suspicions’ about the actor working with Broadway star Sutton Foster in The Music Man. It comes amid renewed rumors of a romance between the Wolverine actor, 56, and Foster, 49, following her split from her husband Ted Griffin, 53. The Tony-winning Broadway star filed for uncontested divorce from the screenwriter, in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, Page Six reported.

Furness, 68, reportedly had concerns about the pair teaming up for the Broadway production in 2022 – a year before Jackman announced the end of their 27-year marriage.

‘Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Their relationship is not a secret to her.’

Furness, who shares adopted children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, with Jackman will not address the recent speculation as she refuses to speak publicly about her ex.

‘Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative,’ the source explained. ‘She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh. When they divorced, they agreed to keep everything that happened during their marriage private.’

A second insider added: ‘Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official. They aren’t going to shove it down everyone’s throat. They became close friends while working together and got to confide in each other over their individual troubles.’

They continued: ‘Hugh still has tremendous respect for Deborra-Lee. They have kids and that is what is important to them both. The are repairing what they can, and will never talk ill about each other.’

Jackman shocked fans when he filed for divorce from Furness last September. Months later rumors began to swirl that Foster and Jackman had grown close, with insiders this week telling PageSix that they are now ‘in love.’

‘They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,’ an insider told the publication. ‘They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.

[From The Daily Mail]

I don’t know if Sutton and Hugh hooked up before their marriages officially ended or not, but I do totally believe that there was absolutely something emotionally going on between the two of them during their time in the production together. Affairs – emotional or physical – are always messy. I’m not surprised that Deborra-Lee had “suspicions” or “concerns.” They’d been together for over 27 years, of course she could read her husband. It does sound like all parties involved are trying to keep things private and amicable. There are three children involved here, so for all of their sake, I hope things don’t blow up publicly.

I also love that whoever this source was did their own little “I’d very much like to be excluded from this narrative” on Deborra-Lee’s behalf. She said in an interview earlier this year that she feels “strong and resilient,” and I wish nothing but the best for her. I hope that if this source did come from her camp, that it’s her way of telling people, “No seriously, leave me the f-ck alone, I have nothing further to say.” She’s not responsible for her ex-husband’s actions, so she should be left out of whatever comes next. Hopefully, she’s spent this last year healing and kicking ass.

Divorces Hugh Jackman Sutton Foster

Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin

Broadway actress Sutton Foster has been married to screenwriter Ted Griffin since 2014. They have one child together, a seven-year-old daughter. If you aren’t familiar with Sutton’s work, she’s a big deal on Broadway. She got her big break in the early 2000s as the lead in the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. Most recently, Sutton has been starring as Princess Winnifred in the latest revival of Once Upon a Mattress. In 2022, Sutton co-starred in The Music Man with Hugh Jackman. As you know, Hugh and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furnace, announced their separation last September. At the time, there were rumors that Hugh had left Deborra-Lee for Sutton. Sutton filed for divorce this week.

“Younger” star Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from “Ocean’s Eleven” screenwriter Ted Griffin, Page Six has learned — amid buzz she is moving on with her former “The Music Man” co-star Hugh Jackman.

The “Once Upon a Mattress” star filed for uncontested divorce in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday. Sutton and Griffin were wed in October 2014 in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif. She picked out her wedding dress on TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress.” The pair share one child via adoption.

Rumors that the marriage was on the rocks began swirling in Broadway circles when Foster was starring in “The Music Man” with Jackman. Multiple sources have told Page Six that Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, have fallen in love.

“They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source previously told Page Six.

Several sources recently told us that the pair are going strong, but have been keeping the relationship a secret and staying out of the public eye.

“They are still together,” says a source. “They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”

Jackman filed for divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, to whom he had been married for 27 years, in September 2023. They share two children.

Furness and Jackman released a joint statement saying, “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

In December 2023, In Touch first reported that Jackman was “romancing” Foster.

[From Page Six]

My gut says that there was totally something to these “romancing” rumors. I wonder how long until we get official confirmation. I don’t know a lot about family law in New York, but according to the NY Courts website, to file for an uncontested divorce, your marriage has to be over for at least six months, and all of the disagreements about assets, custody, support, separation of property, etc. are agreed upon ahead of time. We don’t know a lot about either couples’ relationship, but it feels like all parties involved are trying to keep things from getting messy. It sounds like Sutton and Ted privately worked through all of the details before she filed. For their daughter’s sake, I hope they did.

In Touch: Hugh Jackman ‘has been besotted’ with Sutton Foster since early 2022

Last year, Hugh Jackman was back on Broadway with the revival of The Music Man. He was nominated for another Tony Award and the revival was successful. His costar in the show was Sutton Foster, another well-loved stage actress. They had to do a million photocalls and appearances with one another, and they were very friendly and affectionate in front of the cameras. Perhaps away from the cameras too. In September of this year, Hugh and Deborra Lee Furness announced their separation. Now In Touch Weekly suggests that Hugh had Sutton waiting in the wings.

Movie superhero Hugh Jackman is separated from — but still married to — longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness, but insiders say the Wolverine hunk has sunk his talons into his former Broadway costar Sutton Foster, who’s also got a hubby!

“Their romance is an open secret on Broadway,” tattles a snitch, who says Hugh and Sutton grew close when they costarred in the revival of the classic musical The Music Man for more than a year until January 2023. Another source insists the 55-year-old hunk “has been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!”

And the leggy 48-year-old Tony Award winner, who also costarred for six years with Hilary Duff in the TV sitcom Younger, is “absolutely giddy around” Hugh, says the source. She even raved that meeting the 6-foot-2 movie muscleman was “the greatest thing that came out of the whole experience.”

During their time together on Broadway, the big shot Hollywood actor “had a lot of power and approval over casting and billing, but he always treated Sutton like SHE was the star — and she was moved by that!” notes the source. “He insisted that they share equal billing above the title of the show.”

Previously divorced Sutton confesses they became “really close” when they shared a rehearsal space for the show and admitted arranging to “come together” a half hour before every performance to bond. But they were then, and still are, married to others. She’s been wed since 2014 to second hubby, Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, father of their adopted daughter, now 6.

[From In Touch Weekly]

Wait, Sutton is married?? I really never paid attention to her at a gossip level, so this really is news to me. If all of this is true and Sutton and Hugh are, um, spending time together… I would imagine that Sutton has already separated from her husband too and they simply didn’t announce it. Also: I hate the way In Touch Weekly frames the whole “Hugh wanted Sutton to have equal billing” issue – what they’re describing is Hugh Jackman being a mensch and treating his female costar like an equal partner, and making sure she gets the recognition she’s due. He likely would have done that regardless of whether he had a crush on her.
