Rumors of a relationship between Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, who starred together in The Music Man on Broadway, began even before Jackman and Foster announced their respective divorces. They ramped up in September of 2023, when Jackman announced his separation from Deborra-Lee Jackman, his wife of 27 years, and went into overdrive after Foster announced her own divorce from her husband of ten years, Ted Griffin, in October.
Neither Jackman nor Foster has confirmed or denied that they are in a relationship, but the rumors continue to circle.
