Hugh Jackman has finally gone public with his relationship with Sutton Foster, more than a year after shocking the world with the news that he was divorcing Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years.
The couple – who reportedly fell in love after starring in The Music Man together on Broadway back in 2022 – were papped walking hand in hand during a romantic dinner date in Los Angeles on Monday, January 6th (check out some pics here) and seemed to make no secret of their romance.
Hugh Jackman And Sutton Foster Reportedly ‘Want To Spend The Rest Of Their Lives Together’
Although the couple have only just gone public with their romance, rumors that the 56-year-old Deadpool & Wolverine actor was dating the 49-year-old Younger actress started circulating back in September 2023.
According to previous reports, they initially tried to keep their relationship under wraps, but it was “common knowledge” that they were together.
"They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together," an insider previously spilled to Page Six, adding: "They go out of their way to hide it, but it's common knowledge."
According to a December 2023 article from In Touch Weekly, another insider claimed that the Greatest Showman actor was "besotted" with the Tony-winning actress from the moment they met and "followed her around like a puppy."
The source went on to say that Sutton felt the same way, and she was "absolutely giddy around" him.
Hugh Jackman's Ex-Wife Was Reportedly 'Blindsided'
According to Radar Online, Furness wasn't happy when she found out about Jackman and Foster's romance, and was allegedly angry with Hollywood pals Ryan Reyolds and Blake Lively because they "kept quiet" about the relationship.
"They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh," an insider told the pub, adding: "Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know. Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn't afraid to use it!"
They added: "Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut."
The Bunheads actress was also married prior to dating Jackman, and reportedly filed for divorce from Ocean's Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, who she was married to for ten years, on Tuesday, October 22nd.
