Hugh Jackman Confirms New Relationship on Instagram, Sparking Fan Outrage

Hugh Jackman recently revealed he’s dating Broadway actress Sutton Foster, and the news has sparked a lot of online discussion – much of it hasn’t been very supportive.

Hugh Jackman recently shared photos and a video on Instagram of Sutton Foster after seeing her perform in New York City. This was the first time he’s publicly acknowledged their relationship, suggesting they’re now comfortable being open about it. He enthusiastically praised the performance, calling it “magical” and expressing his support for Foster.

However, many of his followers didn’t respond as he likely hoped. Some criticized the post and questioned his new relationship, with comments ranging from disappointment to anger. One follower wrote, “I lost all my respect for you. I know you won’t care but I do.” Another commented that it reminded them of how highly he used to speak about his ex, Deb. Others simply expressed their disappointment or voiced their support for Deb, and some even made negative comments about his new partner. This negative reaction showed just how divided his fans are now that he’s chosen to share details about his personal life.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have been friends for many years, having both worked in Broadway theater. Late in 2024, rumors began circulating that their friendship had blossomed into a romantic relationship. Sources say they seem very happy together and are supportive of each other’s work. They’ve been spotted enjoying dates in New York City, including walks in Central Park.

People paid close attention to when Foster and Jackman became a couple because Foster was going through a divorce from Ted Griffin, filing the paperwork in 2024. This led to rumors about the timeline of their relationship, but neither Foster nor Jackman has commented on the speculation.

Hugh Jackman and his partner have been seen out together more often lately. He recently went to see her perform in Once Upon a Mattress in Los Angeles during its final week, which many fans took as a signal that their relationship is getting serious.

The couple made their first major public appearance together at the premiere of Hugh Jackman’s movie, Song Sung Blue, walking the red carpet together.
