Sutton Foster said, “But I feel like we’ve created our own little community and our own little family and we take that very seriously.” Her words resonated during the couple’s debut appearance at the 2026 Met Gala.
Foster and Hugh Jackman, both renowned Broadway stars, attended the gala together for the first time. They wore striking outfits that captured attention on the red carpet. Sutton Foster dazzled in a shimmering, metallic, one-shoulder golden gown with a high slit. Meanwhile, Hugh Jackman opted for a classic black Giorgio Armani tuxedo.
Their relationship drew public interest after they were photographed together at the beginning of 2025. At that time, romance rumors began to circulate. Both actors have experienced significant changes in their personal lives leading up to this moment.
Sutton Foster filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October 2024. Hugh Jackman separated from his wife Deborah Lee Furness in September 2023, ending a marriage that lasted 27 years. These transitions opened the door for their new relationship.
The two co-starred in the 2022 Broadway revival of ‘The Music Man’, which closed in January 2023. Their collaboration on stage helped them reconnect. Foster described the musical as being about “community,” reflecting her sentiments about their bond.
Jackman last attended the Met Gala in 2024, arriving solo after his split from Furness. His return to the event with Foster marks a notable shift in his personal life.
Sutton Foster has been married twice before, first to Christian Borle and then to Ted Griffin. Meanwhile, Jackman’s previous marriage to Furness was his only one.
