Relive Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster’s Friendship Before Their Romance

After sparking dating rumors, Jackman and Foster appeared to confirm their romance by holding hands in Santa Monica, Calif., Jan. 6, 2025—a day after he attended her final show in L.A.’s Once Upon a Mattress.

Later that month, the two were spotted kissing and going on dates. Foster also supported Jackman during his residency at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

In May, Furness filed for divorce from Jackman, their split finalized the next month.

“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she told DailyMail.com. “It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us.”

“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,” she contiued. “I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.”

The “one thing” she learned is “none of this is personal,” Furness added. “We are all on our individual journeys and I believe that the relationships in our lives are not random. We are drawn to people, we invite them in, in order to learn our lessons and to recognize and heal the broken parts of ourselves.”
