Jackman, 56, didn’t shy away from openly endorsing Sutton, 49, after rumors surfaced that their chemistry ignited while co-starring in the Broadway production of “The Music Man” from December 2021 to January 2023. Shortly after the show’s conclusion, Jackman and his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their separation after 27 years of marriage in September. A Broadway insider disclosed that the couple’s split had been “a long time coming,” with Furness notably absent from “The Music Man” rehearsals.
Meanwhile, Foster filed for divorce from her second husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after a decade of marriage, as Page Six exclusively revealed. That same month, sources confirmed to Page Six that Jackman and Foster were officially a couple. “They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” an insider divulged.
