Let’s talk about love, folks. Hugh Jackman, the heartthrob we’ve all adored for decades, is diving headfirst into a new chapter of his life. And it seems like this time, he’s found someone who truly makes his heart skip a beat—Broadway star Sutton Foster. Yes, you heard that right. The two are ready to go public soon, with a long-term commitment in mind, including the ultimate goal of tying the knot.
Here’s the scoop: “For Hugh, this isn’t just a casual fling. He’s utterly smitten with Sutton and sees her as the real deal, the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with,” an insider exclusively shares with Closer. “He’s been drawn to her for years, and there’s a deep connection between them that feels almost magnetic. It’s something he just can’t ignore.”
Now, let’s rewind for a moment. Hugh Jackman, at 56 years old, recently made headlines when he and his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their separation in September 2023. It was a shock to everyone, but the couple made it clear that their decision was mutual and came from a place of love and respect.

“We’ve been blessed to share almost three decades together in a beautiful, loving marriage,” they said in a joint statement to People. “Our journey is evolving, and we’ve chosen to separate to focus on our individual growth.”
Though the split was undoubtedly painful, Hugh’s focus now is on his children, Oscar and Ava, whom he shares with Deborra-Lee. They remain his top priority. But as life moves forward, Hugh is embracing the next phase with open arms—and a hopeful heart.
“While Hugh is still processing the emotions tied to his split from Deb, he’s also excited about what the future holds. He sees Sutton as the person he wants to build a lasting, meaningful relationship with,” the source explains.
Hugh and Sutton: A Love Story Born on Broadway
It’s no secret that Hugh and Sutton’s paths crossed on the Broadway stage when they starred together in the revival of The Music Man, which premiered in 2021. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and though the show wrapped in January 2023, their connection only deepened offstage.
According to the source, the couple plans to take their romance public during the holiday season. “They’re ready to step out into the spotlight, enjoy date nights, and even double—or should I say triple?—date with some of Hugh’s closest friends,” the insider adds. “Think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, or Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. These are the kinds of gatherings Hugh and Sutton are looking forward to.”
Two Hearts Healing
It’s worth noting that Sutton, 49, also recently filed for divorce from Ted Griffin after a decade of marriage. The two adopted a daughter, Emily, during their time together. While both Hugh and Sutton have chosen to keep their romance private for now, insiders say they’re committed to waiting until Sutton’s divorce is finalized before taking things public.

“Hugh is 100% in this. He’s head over heels, and he’s ready to make Sutton his wife. They’re on the same page, and they want to ensure everything is stable before making any major moves,” the source confirms.
Of course, Hugh’s split from Deborra-Lee has been a challenging transition for both of them. “Deb is still processing the separation, and Hugh feels her pain deeply. But he also believes that love is something you can’t control, and right now, his heart belongs to Sutton,” another insider reveals.
A New Chapter for Hugh
Multiple sources confirm that Hugh and Sutton have been inseparable since their on-screen chemistry turned into something real. “No one saw this coming, but they fell in love naturally. It’s genuine, and it’s beautiful,” one source adds.
