They made their first red carpet appearance at the Song Sung Blue premiere in October 2025, confirming rumours of their romance that had been swirling since 2024. 

The pair have known one another for years through musical theatre and were co-stars in Broadway’s The Music Man.

The couple got together after their respective splits from spouses Furness and Ted Griffin.

Jackman has made no secret of the new relationship, gushing about Foster online just weeks after they confirmed their relationship late last year.

“Sutton Lenore performing during the holidays at Cafe Carlyle … now that’s an iconic NYC night,” the actor wrote on Instagram.

“And, truly magical.”
