Hugh Jackman Finds His 'Perfect Melody' With Sutton Foster

Hugh Jackman's New Romance on the Horizon

Hugh Jackman is reportedly smitten with Sutton Foster, his co-star from the 2022 Broadway revival of "The Music Man." Rumor has it, Jackman thinks Foster is "the one." The Aussie actor, fresh from finalizing his split from Deborra-Lee Furness in 2025, has been linked with Foster since early this year. It seems the couple couldn't resist the lure of a quieter summer, trading in the hustle of New York City for a peaceful retreat in North Carolina.

“Hugh and Sutton wanted to get away from the city,” a source shared with PEOPLE, adding that the couple is enjoying "a quiet summer together."

Summer Vibes and Personal Connections

Leaving behind the neon lights of Broadway, Jackman and Foster have been spotted embracing the laid-back lifestyle quintessential to a North Carolina summer. Sources say Jackman is writing, reading scripts, and soaking up the sunshine with Foster, who has a bunch of friends in the area. Not too shabby for the couple, as they get to enjoy a fun social life off the beaten path. Foster's 9-year-old daughter from her previous marriage to Ted Griffin has also been part of their summer escapades.

The Evolution of Their Relationship

Jackman's love story takes an interesting turn following his 2023 separation from Furness after nearly three decades. Meanwhile, Foster also navigated her own path to singledom, filing for divorce from Griffin in 2024. Their first public appearance together was in Los Angeles in January 2025, sparking plenty of buzz.

In a stunning display of glam at this year's Met Gala, Foster made her debut alongside Jackman, dazzling in a champagne gown. Jackman, ever the gentleman, matched her elegance with a classic black suit. Looks like romance is definitely in the air for these two stars.
