While Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster‘s romance has been on the quieter side, insiders allege that we can see them together publicly soon. Insiders alleged to Closer Weekly that not only do Foster and Jackman want to join together on the stage again, but Jackman is seemingly willing to foot the bill for it.

 

“Hugh has had his Broadway career going strong for a long time, and actually [estranged wife Deborra-Lee Furness] helped him a lot behind the scenes, but to have someone that shares his passion the way Sutton does, as a performer, is pretty exhilarating. They can play together, they loved working together on The Music Man and want to team up for another show at some point,” the insider alleged. “Hugh is also in the position financially to invest in any show that they want to launch, it could be a vehicle for Sutton, or something for them together, that remains to be seen, but he has said that’s in the pipeline.”

Jackman has a net worth of $100 million, while Foster has a net worth of $4 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, so it makes sense that Jackman would be the financial one.

For those who don’t know, Jackman and Foster’s relationship allegedly began as an affair in 2022 while they were appearing in The Music Man on Broadway, meeting over a decade prior in 2008 when seeing Shrek on Broadway.

Per a bombshell November 2024 report in Us Weekly, Jackman and Foster’s alleged affair ultimately caused his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness. “Deborra-Lee was blindsided when she found out about the affair through the run of the show,” one source alleged. “I think many people were shocked [Jackman] could do this to her,” another insider claimed.

Since then, they’ve kept a low-profile with their romance, with Foster even turning off her Instagram comments amid their romance to allegedly avoid pushback by fans.
