Hugh Jackman’s love life has become a hot topic lately, with speculation about a potential relationship between the Wolverine star and Broadway actress Sutton Foster. Fueling the rumors, gossip blogger Tasha Lustig claims that Jackman is considering a “soft launch” of his relationship with Foster, subtly introducing their romance to gauge public reaction.
According to Lustig, Jackman and Foster may need to craft “a Disney-level love story” to win over critics. In an intriguing twist, Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, liked Lustig’s post from her private social media account. The couple, who announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage, has fueled speculation that Jackman and Foster’s relationship might have started before the official split.
Reports suggest that the actors grew close during their time starring in Broadway’s The Music Man in 2022, with insiders dubbing it “Broadway’s worst-kept secret.” Allegedly, many people within the Broadway community were aware of their connection but chose to respect their privacy.
“A lot of people on Broadway knew but kept it quiet because both of them are so well-loved,” an insider told Us Weekly. “There was an overlap in the relationships, but they are really happy now.”
According to sources, Furness was “blindsided” when she reportedly found out about the affair through the Broadway community. “It was apparently Broadway’s worst-kept secret, and Deborra-Lee was the last to find out—and he never owned up to it,” shared a source close to the situation.
Neither Jackman nor Foster has publicly addressed the rumors, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting confirmation or clarification about the nature of their relationship. For now, the buzz surrounding this potential Hollywood-Broadway romance continues to captivate fans and tabloids alike.
