‘This Is Too Much’: Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Spotted Kissing – Photos & Video

Last week, paparazzi snapped photos and captured videos of Hollywood stars Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster passionately making out. Footage showed the lovebirds kissing just before getting into a Range Rover to drive to an In-N-Out drive-thru, where they made out again. Netizens who saw the media of the pair have a lot to say.

During the first instance in which they locked lips, Jackman, dressed in a sleek black polo and matching trousers, leaned in for a kiss while Foster, sporting a cozy cardigan, scarf, and casual sneakers, wrapped her arms around him.

The pair’s affectionate display didn’t stop there. In another clip, the two were seen pulling into the In-N-Out drive-thru, where they kissed again while waiting for their food, before eventually driving off.

Public reaction to Jackman and Foster’s makeout session was swift and divided, with many online users taking to social media to voice their opinions.

One netizen remarked, “Yikes!” while another opined, “He seems too proud of this embarrassment!” “This is too much,” expressed an observer.

Several others expressed discomfort and sympathy for Jackman’s ex-wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, particularly given the highly public nature of Jackman and Sutton’s interactions.

“I feel bad for his wife. They were together for so many years,” empathized an Instagrammer. Another lamented, “Imagine his wife having to see this. So sad.”

Some observers accused Jackman and Foster of being insensitive with the PDA. “Why rub this relationship in his wife’s face [sic],” wondered one person, while another noted, “So disrespectful and unnecessary 😮.” Someone else succinctly shared their discontent by writing, “Disappointing.”

However, not all reactions were negative. A few people spoke out in support of the couple, urging others to let them live their lives. “They looking good together and happy ….. let people be happy leave them alone [sic],” defended a supporter, while another praised, “Beautiful couple.”

Although Jackman and Foster’s relationship comes after he split from Furness, someone dubbed a source by the Daily Mail said Jackman’s ex-wife had already grown suspicious of his connection with Foster during their time as co-stars.

“Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton. Their relationship is not a secret to her,” revealed the source. However, Furness, who shares two adopted children with Jackman, is said to be steering clear of the ongoing chatter.

The source explained that Furness has no intention of publicly commenting on the rumors or her ex-husband’s new romance, saying, “Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative. She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh.”

Despite the swirling rumors, insiders close to the situation emphasized that Jackman and Foster are approaching their relationship with care.

“Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce, and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official,” a second insider shared, adding that while the pair won’t hide their relationship, they also don’t intend to parade it for attention.

“They aren’t going to shove it down everyone’s throat. They became close friends while working together and got to confide in each other over their individual troubles,” clarified the insider.

The source also stressed that Hugh Jackman still holds Furness in high regard and remains committed to maintaining a respectful relationship for the sake of their children, adding, “They are repairing what they can, and will never talk ill about each other.”

Jackman’s latest romantic outing with Foster comes after the “X-Men” star and the “Younger” actress were seen holding hands as they arrived for a dinner date in Santa Monica, California, which fans shared their opinions on.

The “Logan” star opted for a relaxed look in a dark jacket, grey shirt, and white jeans. Meanwhile Foster donned a tan trench coat over an olive dress.

As they walked through Santa Monica, Jackman and Foster looked completely smitten, exchanging glances and smiling broadly. Their joyful expressions reflected the genuine bond and affection between them.

This relationship comes after Jackman split from Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. The exes had an amicable split. They released a joint statement, reading, “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

Jackman and his ex-wife also said their family would always be their top priority. They asked for privacy, noting that they would approach the transition in their lives with love and gratitude.

On October 22, 2024, Foster also filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband, Ted Griffin, in the New York County Supreme Court. The Tony-winning Broadway star and Griffin share a daughter, whom they welcomed via adoption in Spring 2016.

Now, Jackman and Foster, who have run in the same Broadway circles for years are in a relationship. According to insiders, their romantic relationship developed during the 11-month run of “The Music Man,”, while they were both still married to their now-exes.

“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced. 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,” the source divulged.

According to the source, the couple, “are really happy now.” With their previous dinner date outing, fans expressed happiness for the couple, despite how their relationship allegedly began.

One fan couldn’t help but gush, “He’s dating someone of his age, same tastes, I think they’re maybe soulmates. Leave them alone 🙌❤️❤️.”

Another shared their support with a simple, “Happy for them! Plus, yasss age appropriate 👏 [sic].” One thoughtful fan weighed in, “No hate but love. You could be in a 30-year marriage and still be extremely lonely. He found his soul mate (share a deep love for musical theater) and we should be happy for both.”

Another fan pointed out Jackman’s joy, “He looks a lot happier than he has for a long time.” A few fans noticed something in their smiles, with one remarking, “Smiles from ear to ear,” while another added, “Chemistry in their smiles.”

More fans focused on Jackman’s newfound joy, saying, “He looks really happy. Sometimes people split up and it’s ok. They look happy together. ❤️” In support of their relationship, another simply stated, “Good on him. As long as he is happy I don’t see anything wrong.”

While most fans celebrated their happiness, some were struck by their resemblance, with one commenting, “They look like brother snd [sic] sister,” and another adding, “They look alike.”

One person found it a bit weird, admitting, “They look very happy though it’s a bit odd because they kind of look related??” Noticing even more similarities, one fan said, “They have the same nose,” while another jokingly commented, “Theyre [sic] twins.”

Jackman and Foster’s dinner date comes after the 49-year-old wrapped up an acclaimed Broadway revival and Los Angeles run of “Once Upon a Mattress.” Jackman was spotted attending the show two nights in a row at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre.

On one occasion, he was joined by Carol Burnett, who played Foster’s role in the original 1959 production. In a fun moment, Jackman was photographed taking a picture of Burnett, who sat next to him.

Theatergoers were also excited to be around two legendary figures, snapping photos and sharing the special moment.

Jackman’s support for Foster goes back to their time on “The Music Man.” During their run together, the actor praised her on social media, sharing a short clip of the two of them dancing during practice. He spoke of how much he admires her talent.

The actor wrote, “There are hundreds of people who’ve made this moment happen. But there’s one in particular I pay tribute to @sfosternyc. This show is nothing without you. You’re an exceptional talent and friend. Your joy brings the company of @MusicManBway to life. Let’s do this!”

During an interview, both Jackman and Foster admitted to feeling intimidated going into rehearsals together for “The Music Man,” given their impressive reputations.

However, Foster confessed that she felt particularly anxious and was convinced she would get fired. She humorously joked that their names were on a large billboard and that replacing her name would be too expensive.

Despite her initial nerves, Foster was thrilled to have worked with Jackman, and now their relationship has grown beyond a professional one.
