Hugh Jackman has made his relationship with Sutton Foster public by posting a celebratory tribute on Instagram, establishing their romance as official on social media. On Wednesday, Jackman shared a special photo and video of Foster performing at Café Carlyle in New York, where he voiced his admiration, marking the first online acknowledgment of their partnership and bringing the Hugh Jackman Instagram official romance into the spotlight.
Jackman, age 57, accompanied his Instagram post with the message,
@suttonlenore performing during the holidays at @cafecarlyle … now that’s an iconic NYC night! And, truly magical,
Jackman, 57, wrote.
The video captured Foster, 50, dazzling in an emerald gown as she noticed Jackman filming her, reacting with a blush that quietly revealed affection between the two. This heartfelt online moment arrives almost one year after word first began to circulate about their budding romance and follows their first public appearance together at a major event.
Jackman and Foster Embrace the Spotlight After Their Debut
Jackman’s social media tribute arrives soon after he and Foster made their first appearance as a couple on the red carpet at the Song Sung Blue premiere. The couple spent the evening supporting each other, smiling for photos and remaining close, effectively confirming months of relationship rumors. For a long time, their connection had been the subject of speculation, with sources reporting on their deepening attachment.
In a report from October 2024, a source commented,
They spend all of their free time together. They are a regular couple, they are just in private.

Reports last year suggested the two were quietly, but deeply, in love. Despite their growing bond, they opted to keep details about their romance away from the spotlight.
Behind the Scenes: Romance Kindled on Broadway
The pair’s story began when they starred together in Broadway’s The Music Man from December 2021 until January 2023. During that time, both Jackman and Foster were married—he to Deborra-Lee Furness and she to Ted Griffin.
By late 2023, rumors began circulating about Jackman’s marriage, with news breaking about his separation from Furness after 27 years. The following month, Sutton Foster filed for divorce from Griffin, ending her ten-year marriage. The couple’s close friendship evolved into a relationship, and by January, photographs of Jackman and Foster holding hands in California confirmed the rumors that had been quietly building.
The dissolution of Jackman and Furness’s marriage finalized in May when Furness, 69, filed for divorce. According to reports, the former spouses settled amicably in June, dividing a substantial $250 million estate. Media, including the Daily Mail, noted that Furness received significant support, though the process was described as challenging. There has been speculation that she may write a memoir discussing her experience and address rumors of Jackman’s alleged affair.
A Public Step Forward in Their Relationship
Presently, Jackman and Foster are stepping confidently into life as a couple, choosing to share their happiness more openly. Their recent move to become Instagram official symbolizes not only the progression of their relationship but also their willingness to cherish it publicly after years of friendship and privacy. The couple’s actions hint at a new chapter for both as they lean into a future together.
