Hugh Jackman’s love life isn’t something we’ve gotten to speculate much about. The actor was, after all, married to Deborra-Lee Furness for 27 years until they parted ways in September of 2023. However, reports indicate Jackman might have found love again with his former Broadway costar Sutton Foster.
Foster and Jackman appeared together on the Broadway hit The Music Man from December 2021 to January 2023. Both were married at the time. Now, however, with Foster recently filing for divorce from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, rumors of a possible connection between the two have intensified.

But are Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman dating? What are the rumors swirling about their relationship after their respective divorces? And did the two start dating while they were still with other people?
Are Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman dating after divorces and cheating rumors?
According to various reports, they are. “They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” Page Six reported. The report also indicates the two have taken care to keep their romance out of the private eye for what seems to be a substantial amount of time. “They are still together,” Page Six added. “They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”
For now, the facts are this: Younger star Foster filed from divorce from Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Griffin on October 22, 2024. Rumors their marriage was on the rocks have swirled for years, ever since Foster was starring in The Music Man. Jackman, meanwhile, filed for divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023. That means that if the two are indeed together, and have been together for a while, their relationship likely started when at least one, if not both of them, were still married to other people.
Jackman and Furness released a statement after their divorce that read, “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 of 2023, In Touch reported that Jackman and Foster were in a relationship, quoting their sources as saying, “Their romance is an open secret on Broadway,” which indicates the relationship started when the two were co-starring in The Music Man. In Touch also reported Jackman “has been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!” and quoted Foster as saying meeting Jackman was “the greatest thing that came out of the whole experience.”
At the time, though both actors stayed mum and Foster seemed to try to quash the rumors by adding a family photo to a carousel of snapshots on Instagram showing her, Griffin, and their daughter. Her recent divorce filing, however, has resurfaced the rumor and initiated speculation about whether, now that both have filed for divorce, they will finally take the romance public.
