From Heartbreak to Healing: Inside Hugh Jackman’s New Chapter with Sutton Foster

Behind the glamour and gossip, Hugh Jackman’s new romance carries undertones of shared struggle, resilience, and emotional rebirth.

Both Jackman and Foster have faced profound heartbreak in their personal lives. During his nearly three-decade marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, Jackman was open about their painful journey with infertility. The couple endured several miscarriages before adopting their two children, Oscar and Ava, a decision Jackman once described as “destiny.” “Everyone’s in the right place with the right people,” he said. “It’s not about blood — it’s about love.”

Similarly, Foster’s path to motherhood has been marked by perseverance. After her own failed IVF treatments, she adopted her daughter, Emily Dale, in 2017, calling the experience “overwhelmingly beautiful.” “We had all these roadblocks,” she shared, “but once we pursued adoption, it was like the road cleared. Our daughter was cannonballing towards us.”

It’s this shared experience of loss, faith, and family that many believe has drawn the two stars together. A source close to the pair told Page Six that their connection “runs deep” and that both have found “comfort and understanding in one another.”

Yet not everyone has been celebrating their love story. Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, broke her silence in May with a soul-baring statement to the Daily Mail. “My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she said. “Even when faced with adversity, it leads us to our greatest good — our true purpose.”

Her message, though dignified, underscored the pain of a marriage that had weathered decades of public life and private turmoil.

Still, Hugh appears to be looking forward, not back. Recent sightings show the Wolverine star and Foster attending events side by side — from intimate dinners in New York to high-profile premieres. Their natural chemistry has even sparked speculation about possible future collaborations on screen or stage.

For now, the world is watching as Jackman and Foster — two performers who’ve long captivated audiences — begin a new act offstage. From heartache to harmony, theirs may be Hollywood’s most unexpected, yet human, love story of the year.
