Last year, Hugh Jackman was back on Broadway with the revival of The Music Man.<\/em> He was nominated for another Tony Award and the revival was successful. His costar in the show was Sutton Foster, another well-loved stage actress. They had to do a million photocalls and appearances with one another, and they were very friendly and affectionate in front of the cameras. Perhaps away from the cameras too. In September of this year, Hugh and Deborra Lee Furness announced their separation. Now In Touch Weekly suggests that Hugh had Sutton waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n Movie superhero Hugh Jackman is separated from \u2014 but still married to \u2014 longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness, but insiders say the Wolverine hunk has sunk his talons into his former Broadway costar Sutton Foster, who\u2019s also got a hubby!<\/p>\n \u201cTheir romance is an open secret on Broadway,\u201d tattles a snitch, who says Hugh and Sutton grew close when they costarred in the revival of the classic musical The Music Man for more than a year until January 2023. Another source insists the 55-year-old hunk \u201chas been besotted with Sutton from the moment he met her. He followed her around like a puppy!\u201d<\/p>\n And the leggy 48-year-old Tony Award winner, who also costarred for six years with Hilary Duff in the TV sitcom Younger, is \u201cabsolutely giddy around\u201d Hugh, says the source. She even raved that meeting the 6-foot-2 movie muscleman was \u201cthe greatest thing that came out of the whole experience.\u201d<\/p>\n During their time together on Broadway, the big shot Hollywood actor \u201chad a lot of power and approval over casting and billing, but he always treated Sutton like SHE was the star \u2014 and she was moved by that!\u201d notes the source. \u201cHe insisted that they share equal billing above the title of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n Previously divorced Sutton confesses they became \u201creally close\u201d when they shared a rehearsal space for the show and admitted arranging to \u201ccome together\u201d a half hour before every performance to bond. But they were then, and still are, married to others. She\u2019s been wed since 2014 to second hubby, Ocean\u2019s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, father of their adopted daughter, now 6.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From In Touch Weekly]<\/p>\n Wait, Sutton is married?? I really never paid attention to her at a gossip level, so this really is news to me. If all of this is true and Sutton and Hugh are, um, spending time together\u2026 I would imagine that Sutton has already separated from her husband too and they simply didn\u2019t announce it. Also: I hate the way In Touch Weekly frames the whole \u201cHugh wanted Sutton to have equal billing\u201d<\/em> issue – what they\u2019re describing is Hugh Jackman being a mensch and treating his female costar like an equal partner, and making sure she gets the recognition she\u2019s due. He likely would have done that regardless of whether he had a crush on her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Avalon Red, Cover Images.<\/small><\/p>\n\n
