Hollywood’s latest power couple, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, made their official red carpet debut at the AFI Fest 2025 premiere of Jackman’s new movie, “Song Sung Blue”, held at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood on October 26, 2025. The pair, who have reportedly been dating since early this year following Jackman’s split from Deborra-Lee Furness, turned heads in classic coordinated outfits—Jackman in a sharp black tuxedo and Foster in an elegant black slip dress.

The two co-starred in the 2022 Broadway revival of “The Music Man”, where their on-stage chemistry sparked rumors of a budding romance. Foster, a Tony-winning Broadway actress, and Jackman, renowned for his diverse stage and film career, have long admired each other’s work. In 2022, Foster expressed on Late Night with Seth Meyers that she was “having the time of my life” performing opposite Jackman, who praised her illustrious career, saying, “I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when she was just a kid. But I’ve watched everything she’s done.”

Jackman’s Personal Life and Divorce

Jackman, 57, separated from Deborra-Lee Furness in 2023 after nearly three decades of marriage. The couple, who share two children—Oscar, 24, and Ava, 20—publicly announced their split, stating: “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife… Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.” Furness, 69, filed for divorce in May 2025, which was finalized in June.

She later spoke publicly about the emotional toll of the split, calling the breakup a “profound wound that cuts deep” and referencing her experience of “betrayal” in interviews with People and The Daily Mail.

Hollywood Breakups and New Beginnings

Jackman and Foster’s pairing follows a year in Hollywood marked by several high-profile splits. Notable 2025 celebrity breakups include:

• Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, ending nearly 20 years of marriage; they share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
• Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers, concluding six years of marriage citing “irreconcilable differences.”
• Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell, ending four years after The Bachelor Season 25.

Jackman, a seasoned Tony nominee and screen actor, has been married twice before—first to Broadway star Christian Borle, and then to screenwriter Ted Griffin, whose marriage ended in 2024 after 10 years. Sutton Foster, 50, has similarly enjoyed a celebrated career in theater and television.

A Glamorous Debut

Their appearance at the AFI Fest premiere of Song Sung Blue marked a milestone in their relationship, signaling Hollywood’s official acknowledgment of the couple. The premiere also drew attention to Jackman’s new film project, blending cinematic storytelling with the star power of his on-screen and off-screen partnerships.

The couple’s shared history in Broadway productions, mutual respect for one another’s craft, and now public acknowledgment at a major Hollywood event, suggest that Jackman and Foster are embracing a new chapter both professionally and personally.
