Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Spotted on Casual Lunch Date in Pasadena

Hugh Jackman and his girlfriend Sutton Foster were seen enjoying a casual lunch date in Pasadena, California, on Thursday. Jackman, 58, was photographed carrying a box of leftovers as they left the restaurant.

The actor and the actress, 51, publicly confirmed their relationship in January 2025, roughly a year after Jackman announced his separation from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Jackman appeared dressed casually in a grey jumper and a baseball cap. Foster wore a blue striped top and denim jeans. The couple has reportedly sought a quieter lifestyle, with reports earlier in 2026 suggesting they had moved from New York City to North Carolina.

Jackman and Foster first met while working on the 2022 revival of "The Music Man." Their romance was revealed several months after Jackman's separation announcement in early 2024.

Despite their public appearances, an insider told Woman's Day in June 2026 that the couple had been struggling to find quality time together due to their demanding careers. The source suggested that Foster was beginning to understand the potential loneliness Furness may have experienced during her marriage to Jackman, described as a "workaholic." Foster also has her own career commitments and is raising her daughter, Emily Dale.

Jackman has several film projects underway, including roles in "The Sheep Detectives" and "The Death Of Robin Hood." He is also set to play Long John Silver in Ridley Scott's upcoming adaptation of "Treasure Island."

Recently, a social media post by Jackman featuring Foster at the premiere of "The Death Of Robin Hood" drew mixed reactions from fans online, with some expressing criticism of the relationship.
