Is Hugh Jackman Dating a Married Woman?

The Gist:

• Fans were shocked to learn that Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness were splitting up after decades together.
• Hugh is now rumored to be dating a co-star now — but this relationship is not without scandal.
• The Broadway star he may be coupled up with is also married.

When Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced they were separating, fans collectively gasped. Not one of Hollywood’s most stable couples! Say it wasn’t so!

But now that we’ve had a chance to get used to the idea of Hugh as a single guy — hanging out with the likes of Taylor Swift — reportedly, the talented performer is dating someone new. But this relationship is not without scandal. Read on for details.

According to In Touch Weekly, among other outlets, Hugh Jackman is dating his former co-star Sutton Foster.

The two triple threats starred in The Music Man on Broadway in 2022, and while it may not be surprising that the actors formed a bond during the play’s run, what is surprising is that Sutton is, well, married.

A source told said, “Their romance is an open secret on Broadway,” while someone else said he “has been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!”

To give you a little background, Sutton married her second husband Ted Griffin in 2014, and they share a daughter named Emily, per The U.S. Sun.

She was previously wed to Christian Borle from 2006 – 2009.

Interestingly, according to Sutton, she and Hugh bonded over both having adopted children. She said previously that he was there to “talk about [adoption] a ton.”

The other reason that a budding romance between Hugh and Sutton has some eyebrows raising — beyond the fact that she is married to someone else — is that the timing of them allegedly getting together may have overlapped with when The Greatest Showman star was not yet separated from his wife.

We know.

It’s important to report that neither Hugh nor Sutton have confirmed rumors of a romance at time of writing.
