On December 11, New York played host to a high-profile film premiere that quickly turned into a headline-making moment. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson introduced their latest joint project, The Song Sounds Sad, to an elite crowd — but it was Jackman’s personal life that drew just as much attention as the movie itself.
The 57-year-old actor arrived on the red carpet accompanied by Sutton Foster, the acclaimed Broadway star who has rapidly become the most talked-about woman at his side. The appearance comes just months after Jackman’s highly publicized split from his wife of many years, Deborra-Lee Furness. While the separation was confirmed over the summer, industry insiders have quietly suggested that Jackman and Foster’s connection may have begun earlier than officially acknowledged.
Jackman looked every bit the seasoned Hollywood leading man in a sharply tailored black Zegna suit, paired with a crisp white shirt and a sleek satin tie. Calm, confident, and visibly at ease, he posed comfortably beside Foster, signaling a new chapter unfolding very much in public view.
Foster matched his polished energy with a look that nodded to classic glamour. She wore a deep navy silk mini dress inspired by 1960s silhouettes, designed by Tanya Taylor and embellished with delicate pearlescent floral sequins. The theatrical flair continued with graphite-toned satin pumps by Roger Vivier, finished with a sparkling buckle. Her jewelry choices were refined but striking — a diamond ring by Nicole Rose and elegant earrings from Effy completed the look.
This wasn’t the couple’s first time facing cameras together. Their red-carpet debut came quietly in October, followed by subtle confirmations on social media that made it clear the relationship was no longer a rumor. Still, each appearance seems to intensify the conversation, with fans and commentators scrutinizing the timing, the chemistry, and what it all means for Jackman’s carefully curated public image.
As Hollywood thrives on reinvention, this pairing feels both unexpected and inevitable — a celebrated screen icon and a Tony-winning stage star finding common ground under the brightest lights. Whether this romance will remain a fleeting headline or evolve into something more lasting remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Jackman and Foster have officially arrived as a couple the industry can’t stop watching.
