A Rumor About Hugh Jackman's Love Life Resurfaces After This Broadway Star Files for Divorce

Fans haven’t talked much about Hugh Jackman‘s love life lately. He and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness seemed to have settled into their post-divorce life amicably and everyone went their separate ways. Still, there was a whisper about a possible fling with his former Broadway co-star in December 2023 that came and went without too many people noticing. Now, things have changed. 

On Tuesday, Oct. 22, Sutton Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin after 10 years of marriage. The 49-year-old actress and her 53-year-old estranged husband share one child, daughter Emily, 7. That’s when those rumors about Jackman began to resurface. If you’re wondering how they met in the first place, they starred together in the revival of The Music Man from December 2021 through January 2023.

Page Six claimed that they’ve spoken to numerous sources who confirmed that Jackman and Foster “have fallen in love.” One insider alleged, “They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.” If that rumor turned out to be true, then the musical theater duo would have done quite a stealthy job hiding their romance for several years. “They are still together,” a second source said. “They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”

The news of Jackman’s divorce from Furness in September 2023 shocked Hollywood because their 27-year marriage was considered one of the most solid unions in the entertainment industry. In January 2024, the 68-year-old actress reflected on the changes in her personal life. “It is kind of exciting,” she shared to the Daily Telegraph. “You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift.”

When the rumors began circulating last year, neither Jackman nor Foster addressed the situation. The Younger star subtly added a family photo to a carousel of snapshots on Instagram that showed Foster, Griffin, and their daughter sharing a happy moment. It seemed to silence the rumors, but here they are resurfacing again. This time the news is gaining more traction after Foster’s filing, and it will be fascinating to see if any of the so-far unfounded gossip is true.
