In reflecting upon the captivating journey of Sutton Foster, a woman whose talent and resilience have graced both the stage and the small screen, I find myself utterly inspired. Her life story is a testament to the power of determination, self-discovery, and the transformative impact of love.


In a previously shared interview, about two years back, Sutton Foster, who is rumored to be Hugh Jackman’s new girlfriend, expressed that working with the Broadway legend was like realizing a long-cherished dream and she enjoyed every moment of it tremendously.

Prior to stirring speculation about a romantic relationship two years ago, the 49-year-old multi-talented actress expressed enthusiasm over collaborating with Hugh Jackman on the Broadway revival of “The Music Man.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share that the vibe on set is simply exhilarating, and I can’t help but feel completely immersed in the moment when working alongside this amazing individual. This was clearly evident during our recent guesting on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

‘You had to say that, but thank you,’ Hugh teased.

‘I did!’ Sutton then exclaimed, smiling at her co-star.

‘But it’s like — it’s a dream come true. Truly.’

Meanwhile, Hugh called Sutton a ‘dream’ in another resurfaced interview from 2022.

18 years have passed since my last book musical, specifically “The Boy From Oz,” as he shared with New York Theatre Guide.

As a die-hard theater enthusiast, I’ve been fortunate to lend my talents to both film and stage productions. Yet, there’s an unparalleled excitement and magic that comes with performing in a Broadway musical. It’s simply indescribable!

He praised ‘this specific group’ for their dedication and added that Sutton Foster was nothing short of extraordinary.

In that very year, I couldn’t help but sing praises for Hugh when Vogue queried me about our working bond. It was a pleasure to do so!

She informed the magazine that he truly deserves his unblemished reputation for being extremely diligent, extraordinarily kind-hearted, and generous, as those qualities are indeed accurate.

‘He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him.

Initially, I didn’t expect much, but now he’s turned out to be one of my closest friends, an unexpected turn of events. You often go into such situations thinking, “I hope we click,” but it turned out that we had a wonderful Memorial Day with our families, making new friendships in my forties is truly enjoyable.

This week, Sutton officially filed for divorce from her long-time spouse, Ted Griffin, whom she had been separated from, marking the end of their 10-year union.

In 2022, Hugh and Sutton shared the stage in The Music Man on Broadway. This was a year prior to Hugh’s announcement of separating from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, ending their 27-year long marriage.

Gossip about their romantic connection started swirling within Broadway communities as they shared the stage together, with various sources whispering to Page Six that Sutton and Hugh may have developed feelings for each other.

According to a source, they’re completely committed to each other, deeply in love, and desire to share the remainder of their lives.

According to reports, the couple seems to be thriving, yet they’ve managed to keep their romance under wraps from the public, as per reliable sources.

‘They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.

In different theatrical musicals, both Hugh and Sutton have demonstrated their exceptional talents. Hugh often displays his singing and dancing abilities, whereas Sutton is widely acclaimed for her powerful vocals and dance moves.

Born in Georgia in 1975, Sutton has spent three decades honing her craft in the realm of drama. This encompasses stage performances, roles on both the big screen and small, as well as a vocal talent that extends to singing.

The two-time Tony Award winner shares a similar history to Hugh’s, as they both began their careers in the theater and maintain a continued enthusiasm for live performances.

In addition to that, they are all parents through adoption. Specifically, Sutton and her former husband Ted have a 7-year-old daughter named Emily, while Hugh has two adult children, Oscar, aged 24, and Ava, aged 19, with his ex-wife Deborra-Lee.

They’re both actively engaged in numerous philanthropic pursuits, leveraging their resources to promote arts education and other worthy initiatives.

In various renowned stage performances, Sutton has showcased her talent, with roles such as Sandy in Grease, the lead role in Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Princess Fiona in Shrek: The Musical under her belt.

Apart from her achievements, she’s a renowned television personality who portrayed the main character throughout all seasons of the hit American drama series, Younger, from 2015 to 2021.

Her first marriage was to Tony winner Christian Borle, 51, from 2006 until 2009.

Four years later, she confirmed her engagement to Griffin, a screenwriter on Ocean’s Eleven .

The pair said ‘I do’ in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, in October 2014.

In 2021 she shared her thoughts about staring a family with her second husband.

In her essay for People, the star expressed that she had often found herself uncertain if she truly desired to have children.

As a passionately career-focused individual, my upbringing with my mom was anything but straightforward. We had a complex bond, and our relationship wasn’t easily defined. In my thirties, I took the plunge into marriage, a union that eventually ended, yet it sparked within me a faint desire – a yearning to perhaps experience parenthood myself.

However, when she met Griffin, her view on family changed.

She penned, ‘Upon encountering my spouse, it was a moment when I realized for the first time, “Ah, now I see. That’s why people form families.”‘

In 2020, she discussed how she spent time with her family, which includes her husband and daughter, during the COVID-19 pandemic in a conversation with People magazine.

The star mentioned it was a rare occasion when none of us had traveled or needed to depart for work daily, making this period the first extended stretch we’ve spent together intensely.

At both breakfast and dinner, we all gather around the table. This is when my daughter usually prompts us with the question, “What did you do today?”. We cherish these moments as a family to share stories and connect, making it an essential part of our daily routine.

Foster added that her daughter was ‘really thriving’ because ‘we’re all together.’

Previously, Hugh initiated the divorce process with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, who is now 68 years old, last September, bringing an end to their 27-year long marriage.

They’ve been fortunate enough to spend nearly three decades as a married couple, enjoying a beautiful, loving relationship. However, their path is changing now, and they’ve chosen to part ways to focus on personal development independently. This was expressed in a joint statement at the time.

The former pair share two adopted children together, son Oscar, 24, and daughter Ava, 19.
