Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are hitting the red carpet for the first time as a couple!
The Australian actor, 57, was joined by his girlfriend at the world premiere of his new movie, Song Sung Blue, which closed the annual AFI Fest at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, October 26.
Jackman wore a black tuxedo, while Foster, 50, looked elegant on the red carpet in a floor-length black satin gown with spaghetti straps.
The couple were all smiles as they placed their hands around each other to pose for photos.
Jackman also posed on the red carpet with his Song Sung Blue costar, Kate Hudson, who wowed on the red carpet in a silky burnt orange gown. In the film, Jackman and Hudson play real-life married couple Mike and Claire Sardina, who formed the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder.
Jackman and Foster, who starred together in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man, appeared to confirm their romance in January. At the time, they were spotted holding hands while enjoying a low-key date night in Los Angeles. That month, they were also pictured kissing while in the drive-thru line at an In-N-Out Burger location in San Fernando, California.
In February, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the stars are “madly in love” and “relieved and happy” to be out in public together following their respective separations from their ex-partners.
“They’re not officially living together but spending a lot of time together,” the source said.
Foster filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin in October 2024, after nearly a decade of marriage. The couple share an adopted daughter, 8, whom they welcomed in 2017.
Jackman and ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years together.
“We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,” the couple said in a joint statement.
“Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives,” the statement added.
In November 2024, a source exclusively caimed to Us, “Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced. A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”
In May, Furness, 69, broke her silence about her split from the Wolverine actor after filing for divorce. (The exes share two adopted children, Oscar, 25, and Ava, 20.)
“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” Furness said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
“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,” Furness continued. “This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. 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.”
