Hugh Jackman marked a significant step in his new romance by publicly highlighting his bond with Sutton Foster on Instagram for the first time, sharing his admiration for her performance in New York City on Wednesday, November 26. This public display comes after months of keeping their relationship relatively private, following Jackman’s split from ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness earlier this year. The announcement draws fans’ attention to Jackman’s relationship milestone, signaling a notable chapter in his personal life.
Sharing a Heartfelt Social Media Tribute
The beloved Wolverine actor confirmed his deepening relationship with Foster by posting on Instagram, where he praised his girlfriend as “truly magical.” In this special post, Jackman, 57, celebrated Foster’s performance at Café Carlyle in New York City, sharing imagery of her laughing onstage in a glamorous black gown, accompanied by a backing band. The post gave followers a candid look, as Foster, 50, returned his support from the stage, smiling and waving toward him in the crowd. The moment highlighted Jackman’s pride in Foster’s achievements while revealing their affectionate connection.
“@suttonlenore performing during the holidays at @cafecarlyle … now that’s an iconic NYC night! And, truly magical,”
Hugh Jackman captioned his social media post, applauding Sutton Foster’s talent and presence—Hugh Jackman, Actor.
A Red Carpet Debut Marks Their Growing Bond
Just a month prior to this Instagram milestone, Jackman and Foster offered the public another peek into their evolving partnership. On October 26, they made their first official appearance as a couple, walking the red carpet together at the world premiere of Jackman’s film “Song Sung Blue” during AFI Fest. The co-stars-turned-partners presented a united front, turning their professional connection into a glamorous date night, and confirming months of speculation regarding the true nature of their relationship.
The duo made a statement at the event by opting for classic black ensembles. Sutton Foster dazzled in a black slip dress featuring a plunging neckline, complemented by side-parted curls and subtle gold accessories. By her side, Jackman chose a tailored tuxedo with a crisp white shirt, embracing both elegance and coordination. Their appearance showed a couple comfortable in the spotlight, sharing laughter, private moments, and matching styles as they celebrated Jackman’s accomplishments and their shared affection.
Looking Ahead for the New Couple
Since confirming their relationship in January and debuting publicly together last month, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have gradually given fans more insight into their partnership. Their willingness to share personal milestones, from red carpet appearances to supportive social media posts, points toward a new chapter for both stars. As Jackman moves forward following his divorce from Deborra-lee Furness, this new romance—and the choice to make it Instagram-official—sets a hopeful and positive tone for what may come next for the couple.
