Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s romance is proving to be the greatest show.
After months of swirling rumors due to their on-stage chemistry in Broadway’s The Music Man in 2022, the couple confirmed their relationship Jan. 6 by stepping out in Santa Monica, Calif., hand-in-hand after a lowkey dinner.
For the outing, Sutton, 49, donned a long brown trench with an olive green dress, black heels and a small black bag. Hugh, 56, for his part, wore white slacks, a gray sweater, black jacket and black slip-on sneakers.
Amid their walk through the Southern California city, the couple appeared in good spirits as they smiled and chatted with each other while making their way across streets and sidewalks—and never dropped each other’s hand.
The couple’s relationship confirmation comes amid a chapter of changes for them. After all, Hugh announced his separation from wife Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. Meanwhile, Sutton filed for divorce from ex Ted Griffin—with whom she shares Emily, 7, in October after 10 years together.
