Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster Packed on the PDA After Revealing Their Romance
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster aren’t afraid of hiding their love anymore. Just days after revealing their romance on what might have been a staged paparazzi shoot, the dynamic duo are packing on the PDA all over Los Angeles.
The couple was spotted ahead of the LA wildfires at the quintessential Southern California joint, In-N-Out. They couldn’t help themselves as they engaged in a hot and heavy make-out session in the car. (You can see the photos here.) Foster cradled the Wolverine star’s face as he swooped her in a big embrace. They later took their spicy moment to the parking garage where they continued to kiss as they got out of the car — romance is their full-time job right now, according to the photos.
While it’s lovely to see the 56-year-old actor and the 49-year-old Broadway star so happy, it does seem that their relationship came at a cost — particularly for Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. Not only was she “blindsided” by their alleged affair, per RadarOnline, but she also felt betrayed by her inner circle, including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
Reynolds and Lively reportedly “kept quiet” about Jackman’s dalliance with Foster. “They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,” an insider told the media outlet. “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. Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening, and they all chose to keep their mouths shut”
Jackman split with Furness in September 2023, but Foster didn’t file for divorce from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin, until October 2024. Jackman and Foster starred in the Broadway revival of The Music Man from December 2021 through January 2023, so their relationship timeline has a lot of question marks right now. The lovebirds also have three children between them, so there was probably a lot to consider ahead of their respective divorces. Jackman shares son Oscar, 24, and daughter Ava, 19, with Furness, and Foster shares a seven-year-old daughter, Emily, with Griffin.
While the new couple flaunts their love all over LA, Furness is reportedly relieved that her ex-husband’s secret is out in the open. “She has been plagued with suspicions. She was told it wasn’t true, and that they were nothing more than close friends who worked together,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She finally feels at ease after getting confirmation that her fears and suspicions were warranted. She can now fully close this chapter and move on.”
It sounds like the entire situation is quite a complicated affair.
