With a career spanning over three decades, Hugh is best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men franchise but Jackman began his career in musical theatre, starting with his role as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast in Australia. 

This led to an Olivier-nominated performance in the West End’s Oklahoma! and a Tony Award-winning role in Broadway’s The Boy from Oz. 

He returned to musicals in the 2012 film Les Miserables, and in 2017’s The Greatest Showman, and in 2021, he returned to Broadway in a revival of The Music Man, which was a box office hit.

Sutton, 49, shared a backstage secret the pair shared during their time spent appearing in the hit revival of The Music Man.

In a resurfaced interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan from 2022, Sutton said she and the Aussie actor took part in an intimate pre-show ritual they dubbed the ‘carpet chat’.

She explained: ‘We hang out in my dressing room before every show and just catch up. 

Somehow we ended up sitting, maybe because my dressing room’s a mess, but we sit on the carpet.’

She said this private moment was a ‘wonderful thing’ that brought them closer and helped turn them into ‘really good friends.’

‘That’s been one of the best parts of the whole thing, that I’ve made this wonderful new friend,’ Sutton said.

The glamour couple starred together in The Music Man on Broadway from December 2021 until January 2023.

Soon followed rumours that the pair had struck up a romance, with fans questioning what was behind Hugh’s shock split from his long-time wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Foster and Jackman have been swarmed in recent months by rumors that an affair between the two scuttled their marriages.

Fans had remarked on how close they appeared to be in their off-stage interactions while they appeared together in The Music Man.

Furness seemed to lend credence to the rumors when she liked an Instagram post in October from a gossip blogger who claimed that her husband was ‘running off with the mistress’ and planning a ‘soft launch’ of their relationship, according to Us Weekly.

The couple have now gone public and were seen locking lips beside their car at an In-N-Out burger restaurant in San Fernando, Los Angeles.

Hugh – who split from his wife of 27 years Deborra-lee in September 2023, embraced Sutton as she stroked his face.

Their outing comes after the Logan star attended a performance of Sutton’s production of Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles and the pair were seen holding hands on a date in Santa Monica.

Sutton filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October of last year. She had been married to the 53-year-old Ocean’s 11 screenwriter for 10 years.
