Hugh Jackman and his new love Sutton Foster looked happier than ever on a recent outing amid his ongoing divorce drama with ex Deborra-lee Furness.

The Wolverine actor, 56, and Broadway icon Foster, 49, were seen holding hands and laughing together on Jan. 8 in Los Angeles, days after photos were captured of the couple passionately kissing.

Jackman looked giddy as he gave Foster the loving look while wearing a gray sweater, joggers and sneakers.

Foster paired her casual look with a white top and coral joggers, appearing to go makeup-free on the outing.

The new couple, who have been plagued with rumors of having an affair before divorcing, showed that the drama of their respective separations was not affecting their new relationship on the outing.

Jackman and Furness, 69, announced the end of their marriage in a shocking statement in September 2023, telling their fans that they were “changing” and, as a result, had decided to “separate to pursue our individual growth.”

DailyMail.com recently revealed that the now-estranged couple have yet to file for divorce, as their decision to scrap a prenuptial agreement is proving to be a point of contention.

Insiders say their split could become “confusing” as they fight to share his estimated $250 million fortune.

Their new love has added to the growing tension between Jackman and Furness, who had struggled with “resentment and power imbalance” towards the end of their 27-year marriage.

They were working on filing for divorce before Christmas, but were thwarted by the holidays and Jackman’s second role in The Music Man alongside his new love interest.

They now plan to file in New York “in the next two weeks.”

“One of the main reasons they haven’t applied yet is because they never had a prenup,” a source close to Jackman told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn’t? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh’s career to be as huge as it has become.

‘Because there was no prenuptial agreement and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be easy. It can even be complicated because the stakes are so high.

The source insisted that they both want to “make this as easy as possible,” but that after three decades and one partner becoming a big A-list star, “it’s not that easy.”

Furness and Jackman met in 1995 on the Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school.

He proposed four months later, telling Today in 2018 that two weeks after meeting Furness, he knew they were “going to be together for the rest of our lives.”

They married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19.

Since getting married, Jackman has amassed a dazzling fortune, estimated at around $200 million, thanks to his role as Wolverine in the hit Marvel comic book franchise.

He retired from the role in Logan in 2017 before reprising the character – and taking the box office by storm – last year with Deadpool and Wolverine alongside close friend Ryan Reynolds.

Jackman has also enjoyed several Broadway roles, earned critical acclaim for Oscar-nominated films including Les Miserables and The Prestige, and built a healthy real estate empire with Furness.

Jackman and Foster had previously shared the stage on Broadway when they played the lead roles in an acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man.

Foster filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year.

She had been married to the 53-year-old Ocean screenwriter for 10 years.

Fans had commented on how close they seemed to be in their off-stage interactions while appearing together on The Music Man.

Furness appeared to give credence to the rumors when she liked an Instagram post in October from a gossip blogger who claimed her husband was “running off with his mistress” and planning a “soft launch” of their relationship, according to Us Weekly.

A source told DailyMail.com in October that Furness had suspicions of an affair, but was still “shocked when she found out about the affair.”

They described the alleged affair as “Broadway’s worst kept secret,” adding that “Deborra-Lee was the last to know.”

According to a report from RadarOnline, Furness was particularly upset by the behavior of Jackman’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively because they allegedly “kept silent” about the rumored romance.

“They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,” a source told the publication.

“Now that she’s furious that she was the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and she’s not afraid to use it.

“Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was going on and they all chose to keep their mouths shut,” they added.
