Hugh Jackman had fans smiling this holiday week after making his relationship with Sutton Foster official in an Instagram post. The Oscar-nominated actor shared a photo and video of the Broadway star performing at New York’s Café Carlyle, calling the evening “truly magical.” After a year of personal change for both — with Jackman separated from Deborra-Lee Furness in 2023, and Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin in 2024 — this step marks a new chapter for the couple.
Hugh Jackman captures ‘truly magical’ moment of Sutton Foster, goes Instagram official
In Hugh Jackman’s Instagram post, Sutton Foster looked radiant in a sparkling green gown as she performed onstage. Her bright smile and easy charm lit up the intimate room while the “Deadpool & Wolverine” star captured her waving at the camera, likely directed at him. Besides, the cozy setting of Café Carlyle — a New York standby for classic cabaret — made the post all the more special as Jackman publicly admired his partner’s performance for the first time.
In his caption, Jackman tagged Foster and wrote, “@suttonlenore performing during the holidays at @cafecarlyle … now that’s an iconic NYC night! And, truly magical.” It was a rare and heartfelt moment from the actor, especially since he usually keeps his personal life private.
The post follows the couple’s red carpet debut at the AFI Fest premiere of Jackman’s film “Song Sung Blue” in October 2025. At the time, the pair turned heads as they walked together — he in a classic black tuxedo and Foster in a chic black slip dress. Though reports of their relationship had circulated for months, their public appearances have now confirmed what fans had already suspected: they are officially Hollywood’s newest power couple.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s connection goes back before their Instagram post — to their time on Broadway, where they starred together in the 2022 revival of “The Music Man.” Both seasoned performers, their chemistry onstage was undeniable and now seems to have flourished in real life as well.
