Jackman, 56, was casually dressed in a dark jacket and white jeans, while Foster, 49, wore a chic trench coat over an olive dress. The couple’s night out would have been a regular celeb affair…if it weren’t for the whirlwind of rumors that have swirled around their relationship for years.
Jackman and Foster first worked together on Broadway in the 2020 revival Music Man began its course. Both were married to other people at the time; Jackman was married to Australian director Deborah-Leigh Furness, and the couple divorced in September 2023 after nearly 27 years of marriage. Likewise, Foster was married to screenwriter Ted Griffin for 10 years and filed for divorce in October 2024. Rumors about Jackman and Foster’s relationship began circulating long before the stars publicly announced their divorce.
While there were plenty of subtle clues for keen netizens to assume the worst about Jackman and Sutton – such as the pair’s doe crush on each other in almost every photo they shared, or their heated remarks about each other in interview – the real kicker came when, according to Us Weekly, Ex-wife Furness allegedly liked a post by gossip blogger Tasha Lustig. Lustig alleged that Jackman “knocked out his wife’s eyes” and “ran off with his mistress.” Start the drama.
Now, Jackman’s old tweet has resurfaced, giving the internet all the ammunition it needs to toast Wolverine the star is tireless. In his tweet, which was written nearly a decade ago, Jackman posted a photo of himself sitting next to a giant plate of food, with the caption: “To cheat or not to cheat – that’s the question!?”
In the context of his recent public relationship with Foster, the tweet is being scrutinized. “Almost 10 years thinking about it and he still made the wrong choice,” quipped one Reddit user. “His affair with Sutton Foster is the most salacious, niche gossip I’ve heard in… well, ever,” said another. Another user added the cheeky comment: “Yes, multiple sources have confirmed that he ate a few of these cookies.” For those not in the know, the “cookies” here are a tongue-in-cheek reference to the “to cheat or not to cheat” dilemma on Twitter, with some fans suggesting that Jackman may have been indulging in something more than just a plate of food. And for the more shocked among us, one commenter on X simply wrote: “Wait, this is how I find out that Hugh Jackman cheated on his wife?
