Hugh Jackman has confirmed his relationship with singer and Broadway actor Sutton Foster, making it Instagram official months after the pair first sparked dating rumours. The Hollywood star shared a post on Wednesday praising Foster's performance at a New York jazz venue, marking his first public acknowledgement of their romance since his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.

Jackman posted a video from Foster's show at Café Carlyle, writing: "@suttonlenore performing during the holidays at @cafecarlyle … now that's an iconic NYC night! And truly magical." Foster is seen smiling and waving at him from the stage.

Their relationship reportedly grew during their time together in the 2022 Broadway revival of "The Music Man", according to USA Today. Jackman and Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after nearly 30 years of marriage.

While the exact timeline of Jackman and Foster's relationship remains unclear, Us Weekly reported that their closeness may have contributed to the breakdown of his marriage. A source told the outlet: "Sutton and Hugh's relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced." The source added that many in the Broadway community were aware of the relationship but "kept it quiet" out of respect for the couple's privacy.

Foster was previously married to Ted Griffin (2014–2024) and Christian Borle (2006–2009).
Jackman shares two children — Oscar Maximilian Jackman and Ava Eliot Jackman — with Furness. Announcing their split in 2023, the former couple said they had "decided to separate to pursue our individual growth".
