It comes after reports surfaced that Hugh and Sutton’s budding romance has hit a rough patch, with the pair reportedly feeling pressured by the public scrutiny of their relationship.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are continuing to solidify their relationship, with sources reporting they are spending significant time together and moving towards a more committed partnership.
According to US Weekly, an insider revealed, “They’re not officially living together but spending a lot of time together,” adding that the couple is “relieved and happy” to have publicly acknowledged their romance after initially keeping it private.
Jackman and Foster have known each other for years within the same theatre circles. Their connection deepened while working together on the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man, though they were both with their respective partners at the time. They confirmed their relationship in early January with a romantic date night in Los Angeles.
“It felt like the right time as their relationship has gotten stronger,” the source told US Weekly. “They’ve known each other for so long that it’s easy to fall into the next stage of their relationship.”

However, not everyone is optimistic about the pairing. RadarOnline.com reports that Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, believes the relationship won’t last. A source close to Furness, who was married to Jackman for 27 years, claims she predicts the romance will “collapse” within a year.
The source further suggested that Jackman’s relationship with Foster is a result of a “mid-life crisis,” despite reports that he is considering proposing. Deborra-Lee reportedly believes the relationship is a fleeting novelty that will eventually lose its appeal.
