Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster Debut at AFI Fest Gala

Longtime Broadway friends Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s relationship evolved into a romance after both separated from long-term spouses, with Jackman’s separation from Deborra‑Lee Furness occurring in 2023 and Foster filing for divorce in 2024. They made their first official red‑carpet appearance together at the AFI Fest closing‑night gala for Jackman’s film Song Sung Blue in late October 2025. The film also stars Kate Hudson, who called Jackman her “work hubby” after bonding on set, and some outlets report Hudson’s closeness with Jackman has provoked jealousy and could complicate upcoming promotional appearances. Reports last year alleged overlap between Jackman and Foster while working together, and media coverage notes the pair have shown increasing public PDA at events. Outlets continue to debate the timing of the separations and report lingering speculation about reactions from the ex‑spouses.
