The Music Man: The Broadway Show That Sparked a Romance

The foundation of the Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster romance was built on the stage of the Winter Garden Theatre during the highly anticipated Broadway revival of Meredith Willson's *The Music Man*.

From Harold Hill and Marian Paroo to Real-Life Love

The two stars played the iconic roles of con man Harold Hill (Jackman) and skeptical librarian Marian Paroo (Foster). Their on-stage chemistry was undeniable, often cited as the driving force behind the show's massive success and impressive box office run from 2021 to early 2023.

While their friendship blossomed during the run, the romantic spark reportedly ignited later, following Jackman's separation from his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, in September 2023. By the end of 2024, sources indicated that Foster and Jackman had begun dating, spending all of their free time together and were "in love."

This transition from intense professional collaboration to a private, committed relationship is a classic Hollywood/Broadway narrative, but one that took many fans by surprise given the high-profile nature of both stars' careers and personal lives.

The Official Hard Launch: Red Carpet Debut at AFI Fest

The relationship was officially "hard launched" to the public in a significant way, moving past social media posts and insider reports.

Coordinated Looks at the Song Sung Blue Premiere

In late 2025, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made their first official red carpet appearance as a couple at the Los Angeles premiere of Jackman’s new film, *Song Sung Blue*.

The event was the closing night of AFI Fest, making it a high-profile occasion for their debut. The pair looked happy and relaxed, posing for photos in coordinated, elegant looks—Jackman in a black suit with a navy tie, and Foster complementing him perfectly.

The film itself, *Song Sung Blue*, is a musical comedy-drama based on a true story, where Jackman stars alongside Kate Hudson as two down-on-their-luck musicians who form a Neil Diamond tribute band. Having Foster, a celebrated Broadway vocalist, by his side for the premiere of a music-themed film only amplified the buzz surrounding their shared artistic world.

What the Future Holds for the Couple

As of the end of 2025, the couple appears to be moving forward with great excitement. Sources close to the pair indicate they are "excited to share their future" together.

The relationship has not been without its public moments, including a humorous reaction from Jackman’s *Deadpool & Wolverine* co-star, Ryan Reynolds, who has a famously playful "feud" with Jackman. The attention from fellow stars and the public only solidifies their status as a major celebrity pairing.

Fans of both the stage and screen are eagerly anticipating their next moves. Will they collaborate on another project following the success of *The Music Man*? Will Foster join Jackman on the promotional circuit for his upcoming blockbuster projects? While the details remain private, their public appearances and the undeniable bond forged during their time as Harold Hill and Marian Paroo suggest a long and happy future for the two talented stars.

The story of Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman is a compelling reminder that sometimes, the most magical chemistry is found not just under the bright lights of Broadway, but in the quiet moments that follow the final curtain call.
