Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Steal Spotlight at Gotham Awards
UPDATE: Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made a stunning appearance at the 2025 Gotham Awards, held at Cipriani Wall Street on December 1, captivating attendees with their sleek all-black outfits. The couple, who recently confirmed their relationship, made headlines as Jackman accepted the Musical Tribute honor for his role in “Song Sung Blue”, showcasing their undeniable unity on the red carpet.
Jackman, aged 57, donned a classic black suit paired with a tie, embodying elegance and simplicity. In contrast, Foster, 50, dazzled in a stunning black sequined gown that sparkled under the event lights, further emphasizing their coordinated looks. Photographers captured their chemistry as they posed together, radiating happiness before entering the ceremony.
This public appearance marks a significant step in their relationship journey, which began years ago in Broadway circles. Their connection deepened during the 2022 revival of “The Music Man”, where they starred alongside each other. Following their respective divorces—Jackman from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, and Foster from her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin—the two rekindled their bond, leading to their current romance.
The couple was first spotted together holding hands in Santa Monica in January, and by October, they made their red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere of “Song Sung Blue”. Just moments before the Gotham Awards, Jackman took to Instagram, posting a clip of Foster performing at Café Carlyle, calling the moment “truly magical.” A source close to the couple shared with PEOPLE that they are “in love” and “genuinely excited to walk the carpet together,” adding that “the drama is behind them now” and they are experiencing newfound joy.
At the Gotham Awards, Jackman joined fellow honorees including Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts, and Guillermo del Toro. However, the evening undoubtedly belonged to him and Sutton Foster, whose simple yet powerful show of unity captured the hearts of many attendees.
As their relationship continues to blossom, fans and followers eagerly anticipate what’s next for this dynamic duo. With their recent appearances and heartfelt moments shared publicly, Jackman and Foster’s love story is unfolding before our eyes, making them a couple to watch in the coming months.
