Let's talk about Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. These two seem to be thriving as they step into the spotlight with their newfound romance, brushing off any whispers of drama surrounding Hugh's past marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness. Love can be complicated, but these two seem to have found something special together.
On a sunny day in Los Angeles, Hugh, now 56, and Sutton, 49, were caught holding hands, sharing laughter, and enjoying a peaceful walk together. This was on January 8, and the photos made their way to The Daily Mail just a week later. They both looked effortlessly stylish in casual wear. Sutton chose a simple white crewneck sweatshirt paired with pink sweatpants, embracing a no-makeup look that spoke volumes about her comfort and ease in Hugh's company. Meanwhile, Hugh opted for a gray East Hampton Gym crewneck top and navy blue pants. Watching them stroll down the street, it was clear they were enjoying each other's company, their laughter echoing through the neighborhood.
This sweet outing followed a pivotal moment when Hugh and Sutton officially confirmed their relationship. Just two days earlier, they were seen holding hands as they enjoyed a dinner date in Santa Monica, California, according to People magazine. It was a quiet, intimate evening that spoke volumes about their growing connection.

But their affection wasn't just reserved for quiet walks and dinners. On January 12, The Daily Mail reported that the couple was spotted sharing a passionate kiss while waiting in line at an In-N-Out restaurant in Los Angeles. It was a moment that showcased their undeniable chemistry and the joy they find in each other's company.
Love Amid Change: The Backstory
Hugh and Sutton's romance didn't come out of nowhere. Their relationship blossomed amid personal transitions. Hugh, the beloved star of Deadpool and Wolverine, and Deborra-Lee Furness, 69, announced their separation after an impressive 27-year marriage in September 2023. It was a decision that came with grace and mutual respect, as they shared in a heartfelt joint statement.
"We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage," they wrote. "Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority." They concluded their message with a note of gratitude and a plea for privacy as they navigated this new chapter.
A New Chapter for Both
Meanwhile, Sutton was also navigating a significant life change. After ten years of marriage, she filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024. Ted followed up with counterclaims in December of the same year, according to court documents obtained by In Touch.
Hugh and Sutton's story began when they starred together in the Broadway revival of The Music Man in 2022. Their chemistry on stage turned into something more offstage. By December 2023, a source told Closer that the couple was taking things "one day at a time," emphasizing their commitment to moving forward in a caring and considerate way. "They're very passionate about each other and want the same things," the source revealed.
Though their separation was announced, Hugh and Deborra-Lee haven't officially filed for divorce yet, according to The Daily Mail. A source revealed that they're planning to file "in the next couple of weeks." The situation is more complex because, as the insider shared, "One of the biggest reasons why they haven’t yet filed is that they never had a prenup. When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn’t? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh’s career to get as enormous as it has. Because there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry. It may even get messy because the stakes are high. A lot of moving parts need to be worked out and there is a huge amount of money involved."
