Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster confirm their relationship with a public gesture after months of romance rumors


Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster walk into 2025 hand in hand.

On Monday, the former “Music Man” costars enjoyed a night out together in Santa Monica, California. The pair – who have been at the center of romance rumors – seemingly confirmed their relationship as they held hands during their walk. A day earlier, the Marvel star reportedly attended one of the final performances of Foster’s “Once Upon a Mattress” in Los Angeles, said to people.

Jackman and Foster starred in “Music Man,” which ran on Broadway from December 2021 to January 2023. During their promotion for the musical, the two often publicly supported each other while praising each other’s performances and work ethics.

“He’s one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar,” Foster told People at the 2024 Drama Desk Awards last year.

The romantic getaway comes months after the Tony Award-winning actress filed for divorce from screenwriter husband Ted Griffin in October.

“This is the only statement either of us will make,” concluded the statement, signed “Deb and Hugh Jackman.”

However, Furness told the outlet that she was “grateful” that it provided her with an opportunity for personal growth.

Furness said leaning on friends helped her through tough times, including her divorce from Jackman.

“I say this to all women: your girlfriends are a necessity in life,” Furness said.

Furness and Jackman, who is also from Australia, first met in 1995 on the set of the 10-part Australian TV series ‘Corelli’.
