Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are reportedly “madly in love” and “relieved and happy” that they no longer need to hide their relationship. The pair have been spotted together on multiple occasions looking very much in love, with a steamy video of them kissing being released last month as well.

While they were rumoured to be house hunting together earlier in the year, a source tells Us Weekly, “They’re not officially living together but spending a lot of time together.” The source adds of their choice to step out publicly, “It felt like the right time as their relationship has gotten stronger.”

“They’ve known each other for so long that it’s easy to fall into the next stage of their relationship,” they add.

While Hugh and Sutton’s next steps don’t include moving in together just yet, they are thinking about the long-term, another source shares, saying, “They’re not rushing into marriage but are committed to taking the next steps together.”

Hugh and Sutton first met in 2008 and have been pals ever since, with the pair first working together on The Music Man in 2021, cementing their friendship.

At the time, both were still married to their now ex-partners, with Sutton calling time on her marriage to Ted Griffin last year and Hugh and Deborra-Lee Furness ending their marriage in 2023.

After Hugh and Sutton went public with the relationship in January, the Wolverine actor flew to Northern Ireland to shoot The Death of Robin Hood, reportedly leaving Sutton to feel the pressure of their now-public relationship.

“The pressure is starting to get to her these days,” a source told Woman’s Day.

It comes after RadarOnline reported that Deborra-Lee believes the “surprise romance” will last “just one year before it collapses”.

Deborra-Lee recently spoke about being in “chapter three” of her life, telling The Herald Sun, “I’ve got some projects in New York. I’m in my chapter three. I’m a creative, I love being creative in a variety of areas and I think I’ll be doing more travelling.”
