The Streets Are Talking About Hugh Jackman And Sutton Foster's Off-Stage Relationship

When Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their divorce in September 2023, the pair dropped a typical celebrity breakup announcement that declared the split was decided with “with gratitude, love, and kindness.” But it seems as if some of the warm and fuzzy feelings may have now left the building since Deborra-Lee all but confirmed some pretty saucy rumors about what her husband of 27 years was up to in the final stages of their marriage with one little like. The tea first brewed on social media, as it often does, when blogger Tasha Lustig put out a surprising reason she claimed led to Hugh and Deb’s divorce. No, it wasn’t that Hugh spent too much time manufacturing corny “pranks” with his Deadpool co-star Ryan Reynolds. The Instagram post alleged Hugh Jackman’s friendship with his Broadway co-star, Sutton Foster, had turned romantic outside of his marriage. So what is the truth about the Music Man stars relaysh status? Here’s everything to know about Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s alleged relationship, including those cheating rumors.

According to an allegation in an Instagram post that was liked by Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furrness, the answer seems like yes. The post, which also garnered a comment of support from one of Deborra-Lee’s reported close friends, claimed that Hugh and Sutton had been secretly together since 2022, while both were still married to separate partners. Deb’s “beloved” bestie Amanda de Cadenet commented the claims were “on point.” Now that the dust had settled from both divorces, which were announced about a year apart (Hugh’s in September 2023 and Sutton’s from Ted Griffin October 2024), the blogger had deduced that the cheating rumors surrounding Hugh and Sutton were figuring out a way to “soft launch” their relationship that deflected from the cheating rumors that followed them since they started working together in 2021.

After The Music Man promo began, fans started noticing co-stars Hugh and Sutton, who play love interests Harold Hill and Marian in the musical, had gotten really close, really quickly. Their red carpet appearances were a little too cozy for two happily married people, according to the internet. As a reluctant theatre kid, all I can say is if the alleged rumors are true this is a canon event (straight man cleaning up house in a theatre production) and we cannot intervene.

The possessive hand is not evidence of anything in a court of law. Now in the court of public opinion… I’m not so sure.

Personally I never want to be photographed giggling at a man this hard unless I am deeply loved up.
