A Glamorous Hollywood Moment
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made their highly anticipated red carpet debut as a couple at the Los Angeles premiere of Song Sung Blue on Sunday, October 26. The event, held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, marked the couple’s first official appearance together nearly a year after confirming their relationship.
Both Tony Award winners exuded effortless style and chemistry. Jackman, 57, looked sharp in a classic black suit paired with a white shirt and navy tie, while Foster, 50, dazzled in a sleek black slip dress. The two smiled warmly for photographers, radiating comfort and connection as they walked hand-in-hand down the red carpet.
Jackman stars in Song Sung Blue alongside Kate Hudson, portraying real-life musicians Mike and Claire Sardina, who formed a Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning & Thunder. The film has been praised for its heartfelt performances and musical nostalgia, and this premiere served as both a professional milestone and a personal celebration for Jackman.
From Broadway Friends to Real-Life Partners
Jackman and Foster’s connection traces back to the early 2000s, when both were prominent figures on the Broadway stage. Their friendship deepened when they co-starred in the 2021–2023 Broadway revival of The Music Man, where their onstage chemistry caught fans’ attention.
Their romance was first confirmed in January 2025, after the pair were spotted holding hands in Santa Monica. Since then, they’ve kept their relationship private, supporting one another’s careers quietly — Foster attending Jackman’s stage shows, and Jackman cheering her on during her concert performances.
Both actors found love again following divorces — Jackman separated from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, in 2023, while Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin in 2024.

Despite their fame, Jackman and Foster have chosen to nurture their relationship away from the spotlight, making this red carpet moment all the more special. Earlier this month, they attended a Richard Marx performance in New York City, posing for rare photos with the singer and his wife, Daisy Fuentes.
Their shared artistic background and mutual admiration have made them one of Hollywood’s most beloved new couples. With Jackman’s new film receiving positive buzz and Foster thriving in theatre, the duo appears to be balancing love and success with grace.
As they smiled for cameras on Sunday night, one thing was clear — Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster aren’t just co-stars or friends anymore; they’re partners on and off the stage, enjoying a new chapter of their lives together.
