Actor Hugh Jackman has publicly confirmed his relationship with actress and singer Sutton Foster through an Instagram post. The Wolverine star shared a video from Foster's performance at Café Carlyle, a New York jazz club, during the holiday season. This confirmation comes after Jackman's divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of three decades. The pair announced their separation in September 2023 through a joint statement. Jackman and Foster reportedly grew close while working together on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man. Sources claim their relationship was an open secret on Broadway, though details were kept private. Jackman and Furness share two children, Oscar Maximilian and Ava Eliot. Foster was previously married twice, to Ted Griffin and Christian Borle. The former couple cited pursuing individual growth as the reason for ending their marriage.
