Strong wedding whispers are swirling aroundHugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, with sources telling that the couple are ready to tie the knot. However, the romance that got them here is still raising eyebrows.
The couple, who went public in early 2025, may be planning an intimate 2026 ceremony in New York. Details vary, but according to reports, a small gathering is expected once Foster's divorce is fully finalised.
While the duo might be leaning into the next chapter of their love, the fans have not forgotten how their relationship began during a complicated chapter in both their marriages.
Jackman and Foster first met in the early 2000s, but their bond deepened when they co-starred in the Broadway revival ofThe Music Man, which ran from February 2022 to January 2023.
At the time, Jackman was still married to Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years. Meanwhile, Foster was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin.
During the show's run, the two frequently praised each other in interviews. Foster called Jackman 'one of my best friends' in a June 2022 Vogue interview. Jackman also posted tributes celebrating her talent and warmth.
In September 2023, Jackman and Furness announced their separation in a joint statement, saying they had 'been blessed to share almost three decades together' but had decided to 'separate to pursue our individual growth.'
At the time, no third party was mentioned.
Soon, rumours of overlap gained attention in late 2024. In November of that year,Us Weeklycited sources who claimed 'there was an affair and overlap,' alleging the relationship with Foster contributed to the breakdown of Jackman's marriage.
The outlet described it as 'Broadway's worst-kept secret,' according to insiders quoted in its reporting. However, neither Jackman nor Foster has publicly addressed the affair allegations.
