‘Is She Pregnant?’: Fans React to Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s Recent Public Appearance Together

The Australian movie star shared a passionate moment with his girlfriend during a date night, just days after they publicly confirmed their relationship.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster were seen showing affection in a recent public outing, but fans couldn’t help but focus on Foster’s appearance. Many speculated about her attire and whether she might be pregnant, fueling curiosity online.

“The Music Man” costars couldn’t keep their hands off each other during a date night at In-N-Out in Los Angeles on January 12, 2025. They were spotted sharing an intimate and playful moment, leaning in for passionate kisses while waiting in the drive-thru line.

Jackman and Foster seemed to be enjoying each other’s company. The 56-year-old sported a casual khaki outfit and polo shirt, while Foster kept it relaxed in an oversized shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers. The pair also shared a few kisses outside the car as Jackman opened the door for Foster, adding an affectionate touch to their outing.

Fans couldn’t help but speculate after Jackman and Foster’s public appearance together. They focused on the Broadway star’s dressing as they wondered about the possibility of a baby on the way. One commented, “Is she pregnant?” while another chimed in, “Is she…👶🏻?” Even more confidently, a fan wrote, “I’m calling it. She’s pregnant.”

Others seemed to focus more on Foster’s appearance, with one fan noting, “She looks pregnant,” while another questioned, “What is she wearing?!” On the flip side, a few fans pointed out some comparisons to Jackman’s ex, Deborra-Lee Furness, “She looks like she’s older than his ex,” and another noted, “She cant [sic] even come close to first wife in any shape or form, how boring and he totally lost his charm.”

However, there were also those who rallied behind the couple, suggesting, “Who cares if they r happy that’s all that matters…move on him [sic],” while another fan simply remarked, “He looks happy!”

Jackman has officially moved on with Foster after his marriage to Furness ended. However, he and his ex-wife are focused on being there for their kids even after their divorce. The two had a difficult parenthood journey as they couldn’t have kids biologically. Furness went through IVF and had a couple of miscarriages. “It was painful,” recalled Jackman.

He added, “It’s not easy. You put a lot of time and effort into it, so it’s emotional. I think any parent can relate – trying to have children is wonderful and when you feel as though that’s not going to happen, there’s a certain anxiety that goes with it.”

The exes opted for the adoption path as they had initially planned to have kids biologically first before adopting. “When we decided we’d had enough of IVF, we went ahead with adoption,” shared Jackman. The actor and his ex-wife are now parents to Oscar and Ava.

Jackman gushed about his kids, “I don’t think of them as adopted – they’re our children. Deb and I are believers in … I suppose you could call it destiny. We feel things happened the way they are meant to.” He expounded, “Everyone’s in the right place with the right people. It sounds airy-fairy, but it’s something we feel very deeply.”

Foster, who is also divorced, is a mom of one. She and her ex-husband, Ted Griffin, welcomed their daughter, Emily Dale, via adoption, in 2017. They also went through infertility struggles, with Foster undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF. Eventually, they chose to adopt.

She recalled, “We had all these roadblocks, but as soon as we started pursuing adoption, it was like the roadblocks were going away. I can look back on it now with perspective and clarity. It was like our daughter was cannonballing towards us, and we just needed to get out of our own way. The universe was like, “Will you just [stand back] — I got this!”

Foster has formed a close bond with her adopted child’s mother, describing the experience as incredibly beautiful. She reflected on the unexpected and enriching journey of creating a family. The Tony winner not only gained a daughter but also embraced an extended family that plays a significant role in her child’s life story.

She enthused, “It’s overwhelmingly beautiful. It’s overwhelming love for this little human. And I’m so excited that her story is now my story, and it’s really been a beautiful addition to my life.”

Now, Foster and Hugh Jackman, who both became parents via adoption, are in a relationship. On January 6, 2025, they were spotted holding hands as they went on a dinner date. Their appearance caught fans’ attention, with many finding their resemblance striking and playfully calling them “twins.”

Jackman and Foster arrived hand-in-hand for their dinner date in Santa Monica, California. The “Logan” star opted for a relaxed look in a dark jacket, grey shirt, and white jeans. Meanwhile Foster donned a tan trench coat over an olive dress.

As they walked through Santa Monica, Jackman and Foster looked completely smitten, exchanging glances and smiling broadly. Their joyful expressions reflected the genuine bond and affection between them.

This relationship comes after Jackman split with Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. The exes had an amicable split. They released a joint statement, reading, “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

Jackman and his ex-wife also said their family would always be their top priority. They asked for privacy, noting that they would approach the transition in their lives with love and gratitude.

On October 22, 2024, Foster also filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband, Griffin, in the New York County Supreme Court.

Now, Jackman and Foster, who have run in the same Broadway circles for years are in a relationship. According to insiders, their romantic relationship developed during the 11-month run of “The Music Man,”, while they were both still married to their now-exes.

“Sutton and Hugh’s relationship is the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced. A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people. Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap,” the source divulged.

According to the source, the couple, “are really happy now.” With their recent dinner date outing, fans are happy for the couple, despite how their relationship allegedly began. One fan couldn’t help but gush, “He’s dating someone of his age, same tastes, I think they’re maybe soulmates. Leave them alone 🙌❤️❤️.”

Another shared their support with a simple, “Happy for them! Plus, yasss age appropriate 👏 [sic].” One thoughtful fan weighed in, “No hate but love. You could be in a 30-year marriage and still be extremely lonely. He found his soul mate (share a deep love for musical theater) and we should be happy for both.”

Another fan pointed out Jackman’s joy, “He looks a lot happier than he has for a long time.” A few fans noticed something in their smiles, with one remarking, “Smiles from ear to ear,” while another added, “Chemistry in their smiles.”

More fans focused on Jackman’s newfound joy, saying, “He looks really happy. Sometimes people split up and it’s ok. They look happy together. ❤️” In support of their relationship, another simply stated, “Good on him. As long as he is happy I don’t see anything wrong.”

While most fans celebrated their happiness, some were struck by their resemblance, with one commenting, “They look like brother snd [sic] sister,” and another adding, “They look alike.”

One fan found it a bit weird, admitting, “They look very happy though it’s a bit odd because they kind of look related??” Noticing even more similarities, one fan said, “They have the same nose,” while another jokingly commented, “Theyre [sic] twins.”

Jackman and his girlfriend’s dinner date comes Foster wrapped up an acclaimed Broadway revival and Los Angeles run of “Once Upon a Mattress.” Jackman was spotted attending the show two nights in a row at Los Angeles’ Ahmanson Theatre.

On one occasion, he was joined by Carol Burnett, who played Foster’s role in the original 1959 production. In a fun moment, Jackman was photographed taking a picture of Burnett, who sat next to him. Theatergoers were also excited to be around two legendary figures, snapping photos and sharing the special moment.

Jackman’s support for Foster goes back to their time on “The Music Man.” During their run together, the actor praised her on social media, sharing a short clip of the two of them dancing during practice. He spoke of how much he admires her talent.

He wrote, “There are hundreds of people who’ve made this moment happen. But there’s one in particular I pay tribute to @sfosternyc. This show is nothing without you. You’re an exceptional talent and friend. Your joy brings the company of @MusicManBway to life. Let’s do this!”

During an interview, both Jackman and Foster admitted to feeling intimidated going into rehearsals together for “The Music Man,” given their impressive reputations. However, Foster confessed that she felt particularly anxious and was convinced she would get fired. She humorously joked that their names were on a large billboard and that replacing her name would be too expensive.

Despite her initial nerves, Foster was thrilled to have worked with Jackman, and now their relationship has grown beyond a professional one.
