On Oct. 26, gossip blogger Tasha Lustig spilled some major tea on Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster on her Instagram account.
"Do y'all remember when I told you this man was up to no good," asked the content creator as she pointed to a photo of the Music Man costars looking lovey-dovey on a red carpet.
Lustig went on to say that Jackman had "blindsided" his ex-wife, Deborra-lee Furness, by "running off with the mistress" and that the Broadway stars were planning to "soft launch" their relationship publicly.
The juicy post quickly gained a ton of viewersincluding Furness, who liked it from her private account (only visible to people she follows on the platform), along with over 25,000 others, and Furness' close friend, British media personality Amanda de Cadenet, who wrote: "You are on point with this one.
My beloved friend Deb is about to have her glow up any moment fyi!" The social media activity seemed to confirm rumors of a secret romance between Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, who starred together in the 2022 Broadway revival. (Jackman and ex Furness announced their split in September 2023; Foster filed for divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin on Oct. 25.) Sources confirm to Us that Jackman and Foster are currently together -and that their friendship turned romantic during the show's 11-month run, while they were married to other people.
"Sutton and Hugh's relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced," says a Foster source.
"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." According to the source, Jackman and Foster are still going strong: "They are really happy now."
