Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, after months of rumors, finally went public about their relationship. Their dinner date has sent the social media frenzy. On January 6, 2025, the couple was seen enjoying a quiet and intimate evening in Santa Monica, California. Pictures taken by People magazine show the two arriving hand-in-hand, having the time of their lives as they laugh and talk intimately.

For dinner, Hugh was dressed very casually in a black jacket over a grey tee and white jeans. Sutton donned a very chic tan trench coat over a flowy dress, finishing with black pointy heels. All of the photographs speak of an unbridled evening of laughter and happiness where they both are very relaxed and so in love. Their date was only a few days after Hugh had watched Sutton perform in the last show of Once Upon a Mattress at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre on January 4, which added more fuel to the fire about their relationship.
But the couple’s relationship has not been well received by all online. Some fans were thrilled to see them fall in love, while others were not, especially since they are both divorced. Many said that both Hugh and Sutton were already married to other people before the news of their relationship broke. Hugh separated from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, after 27 years of marriage, in September 2023. Sutton, meanwhile, filed for divorce from her second husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024 after ten years of marriage.
Some critics took the social media avenue to express themselves, with even accusations of cheating being thrown at them. As one person says, “Would be cute if there weren’t divorce and probably cheating involved.” A comment criticized the way Hugh apparently cheated on Deborra-Lee and made their relationship with Sutton public through paparazzi photos. In fact, there were others in agreement with those sentiments, considering the paparazzi photos of them as staged and pointing to the messy divorces they underwent.
Although backlash had filled the atmosphere, some fans support the new couple. This was as they praised Hugh and Sutton both for being talents on stage. It had been such a long history that they met each other when starring in The Music Man on Broadway revival in 2022 and, according to insiders, when they started romantically.
