Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster jet out of Costa Rica after kicking off 2026 with romantic beach getaway

by

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster began 2026 with a vacation in a tropical location, but it seems they’re now back to their everyday lives.

The couple were spotted jetting out of Costa Rica on Saturday with a relaxed spring in their step.

Still dressed for the beach, the New Yorkers walked towards their plane, clearly savoring the last bits of their vacation and reluctant to leave paradise behind.

Hugh Jackman, 57, shielded himself with a wide-brimmed straw hat. His partner, 50, wore a relaxed brown dress with colorful tassels and styled her hair in a sleek, slicked-back bun.

The couple filled up their gas tank and also seemed to be enjoying small coffees before continuing their journey.

The couple seems to have had a wonderful time on their trip, and they were previously spotted showing affection for each other at the beach.

Jackman and Foster appeared closer than ever as they packed on the PDA in the waves.

This romantic getaway happened shortly after news surfaced suggesting the Broadway actor was very jealous of the strong connection he shared with Kate Hudson while filming.

Radar Online recently reported that Deborra-Lee Furness is having difficulty with the strong friendship between her husband, Hugh Jackman, and his fellow actor, Kyle Chandler, who appears with him in the new movie, Song Sung Blue.

Sources told the outlet that Foster was ‘mad with jealousy’ over the pair’s chemistry.

Jackman and Foster have been going strong since confirming their romance last year in January.

Hugh Jackman’s relationship began shortly after his separation from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, with their divorce becoming final in June 2025.

Kate Hudson, who has been with musician Danny Fujikawa since 2016, is starring alongside Hugh Jackman in the movie Song Sung Blue. The film tells the story of two musicians who find love through their mutual love of Neil Diamond’s music.

Sources at Radar Online say Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson became very friendly on set and playfully suggested they felt like an old married couple.

Many viewers might be surprised not to see Sutton Foster alongside Hugh in ‘Song Sung Blue.’ She seems like a natural fit – the right age and appearance – and, unlike Jennifer Hudson, she’s known for her strong singing ability.

Okay, so apparently, the people in charge really wanted Hugh to be paired with another HUGE star, someone with just as much recognition as him. And poor Sutton… she just didn’t quite fit that bill, sadly. It’s not about her talent, honestly, it was just about needing someone with a similar level of fame to match Hugh’s star power. I’m devastated, but I get it… it’s all about the ‘vision’!

Although Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are reportedly just friends, the source believes the upcoming publicity for their movie might put extra pressure on their relationship.

I’m really worried about Sutton. With Hugh and Kate about to start a huge promotional tour, things are just going to get harder for her, even though Hugh doesn’t seem to understand what the problem is. It’s frustrating to watch, honestly.

Things seemed to be looking up for Foster and Hudson earlier this month at the premiere of Song Sung Blue. A witness reported seeing them acting friendly and even sharing a sweet moment together, suggesting tensions might be easing.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness first appeared together as a couple on the red carpet at the 2025 AFI Fest in Hollywood last October. Their recent affectionate display on the beach indicates they’re making a clear effort to dismiss any talk of jealousy between them.

It was recently reported that the Broadway actor was extremely jealous of the strong connection he shared with Hudson while filming.

According to a recent New Idea report, negotiations for Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness to reconcile reportedly fell apart when Furness was upset by Jackman’s recent public affection towards his co-star in ‘The Younger’.

According to a source, Hugh and Sutton have been very publicly affectionate lately, appearing together at events like red carpets and concerts, and even displaying intimacy in public spaces.

He seems to think their agreement means he can now focus all his attention on Sutton, and that’s creating stress for Deb, who isn’t prepared for it.

It was especially tough for Furness when her ex-boyfriend brought his new girlfriend around all of their Australian friends in New York last week, while they were at an Australian pub with Hudson.

Hugh Jackman and Jodie Foster shared videos of the father of two singing ‘Sweet Caroline’ with Kate Hudson during karaoke, following their appearance together at the Gotham Awards.

It’s still really painful for Deb, even though she and her ex broke up two years ago. These are all people she’s known for a long time, and finding out they’re all having fun together without her – like when they recently sang ‘Sweet Caroline’ – feels like she’s being erased from their lives. It’s especially hurtful because she used to be so close to them, according to a source.

According to the report, Jackman’s decision to have his new partner, Foster, join him in Australia for Christmas was the breaking point for his former wife.

He’s acting completely irrational. Deb agreed to a temporary peace last October, hoping everyone could have a calm and happy Christmas for the children’s sake. But, they believe she won’t succeed.

Hugh is hoping for something that’s unrealistic, and Deb has firmly stated she doesn’t want any public displays of affection between Hugh and Sutton.
