New Romance With Hugh Jackman

Sutton Foster and The Greatest Showman actor Hugh Jackman are said to have crossed paths in 2019 when they were both selected for leading roles in The Music Man. Rehearsals kicked off in November 2021 after facing delays from the pandemic, leading to a blossoming personal connection alongside their on-stage collaboration.

Their relationship transitioned to romance in late 2024 following both of their respective marital separations. The two officially confirmed their romance in January 2025 as they were captured kissing on a fast-food outing after initially being spotted holding hands in Los Angeles, as reported by the Daily Mail at the time.

In February 2025, a source revealed to Us Weekly that they were 'madly in love.' The insider added: 'They're not officially living together but spending a lot of time together.'

The couple consistently showed how they were together during the latter part of 2025. Notable moments featured coordinated red carpet appearances at the Gotham Awards and the New York premiere of Jackman's film Song Sung Blue, where they were spotted together arm‑in‑arm and showing support for each other.

Jackman also took their relationship to social media later that year, showing support as Foster did a live performance. In the caption, he wrote: 'That's an iconic NYC night! And, truly magical.'

The most recent glimpse into their relationship came in early January 2026, when Jackman and Foster were photographed during a romantic getaway in Costa Rica. TMZ showed images of the pair enjoying a sunset beach outing, hugging and wading hand‑in‑hand in the ocean. Foster was pictured in a blue two‑piece swimsuit, while Jackman wore casual black-and-white swimwear.
