However, the pair divorced three years later in 2009, and Sutton said the split hit her for a while.

She said: “I kept equating it to, like, someone took my purse and dumped it out on the sidewalk.

“And it was all my stuff everywhere.

“And for three years I was sludging through mud to sort of rebuild myself and my relationships.”

Christian later said: “As life took its crazy winding turns and we ended up not being married anymore, it was always a priority for us to stay friends.”

Who is Sutton Foster dating now?

After being linked with her The Magic Man co-star Hugh Jackman, the two have confirmed that they’re an item.

They began working together in 2022.

According to a source speaking with Us Weeklytheir rumoured romance was behind his split with wife Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023.

A different source previously told Closer that Sutton’s “connection with Hugh was something no one saw coming,” adding, “they fell in love, plain and simple”.

They were spotted out and about on January 5, 2025 in Santa Monica, California.

The new couple were praised for their palpable on-screen chemistry whilst performing together.

Sutton said in June 2022: “He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous — and all of that is true.

“He’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40.”

“One of the things that our director said early on was when you’re watching two characters fall in love, you look for the moments where they make each other smile.

“So it’s sort of birthed out of that, and it’s a spontaneous moment that’s different every single night.

“It toes that line of, is it Harold and Marian, or Hugh and Sutton?”

Hugh was married to Deborra-Lee from 1996 to 2023.
