Sutton Foster (2023 – present)
Not long after Hugh’s divorce from Deb, he was rumored to be romantically linked to fellow Broadway star, Sutton Foster. “Their romance is an open secret on Broadway,” one insider told In Touch in December 2023. He “has been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!” another said. It’s unlikely any of this was true, however, because Sutton has been married to screenwriter Ted Griffin since 2014.
British gossip blogger Tasha Lustig posted a TikTok video claiming Jackman “blindsided” his wife by “running off with the mistress,” and adding that Jackman and Foster were planning to “soft launch” their relationship to the public.
Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness, reportedly liked the post from her private account. British media personality Amanda de Cadenet commented on the post, “You are on point with this one. My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!”
“Deborra-lee was blindsided when she found out about the affair through the run of the show,” a source told Us about Jackman’s wife. “It was apparently Broadway’s worst-kept secret, and Deborra-lee was the last to know. … He didn’t own up to it.”
As for the future of their now-secret relationship, the two try to keep it very low-key. “They don’t live together because of their kids,” a source told Us Weekly. “But Sutton has told people on Broadway about the relationship. Everyone [there] has known about this for a long time.”
“Hugh’s whole image is that he’s the nicest guy in Hollywood,” the source explained. “So he doesn’t know what to do with this.”
