Rumors about Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster dating have grown after they were seen holding hands during a dinner date in Los Angeles. Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, have been close friends for years, but their recent outing hints at something more.
They first met in 2008 when Jackman attended a Broadway show where Foster starred. They later worked together in the 2022 revival of The Music Man. During that time, Foster described Jackman as one of her best friends and praised his kindness. Jackman also spoke highly of her, calling her “a dream” to work with.
In early 2024, rumors resurfaced when Jackman was spotted at Foster’s play Once Upon a Mattress. These rumors followed major changes in their personal lives. Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, ended their 27-year marriage in September 2023. Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after ten years of marriage.
Although Broadway insiders had speculated about their relationship, the recent Santa Monica outing seems to confirm their romance.
Sutton Foster is a well-known Broadway star with roles in Grease, Little Women, and Sweeney Todd. She has won two Tony Awards and an Olivier Award. She was married to actor Christian Borle before her marriage to Griffin and shares an adopted daughter, Emily, with her former husband.
Hugh Jackman, famous for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men films, is also celebrated for his work on stage. Fans have been intrigued by the news of his potential relationship with Foster, as both actors continue to excel in their careers.
