Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster seemed to make their relationship official when they were spotted out on a dinner date on Monday evening, Daily Mail reports.
The 56-year-old X-Men star and the 49-year-old Broadway veteran were seen holding hands and grinning ear to ear as they had a night on the town in Santa Monica, California, in photos obtained by People, according to the report by Daily Mail.
The outing comes the same day that Hugh Jackman was reported to be planning to go ‘public’ with his new ‘girlfriend’ in the imminent future.
The new pairing follows Hugh and his estranged wife Deborra-lee Furness’ announcement in September 2023 that they were separating after 27 years of marriage.
In the photos, Hugh Jackman looked casual-cool in a charcoal zip-up jacket that he wore over a slim gray sweater and a pair of tan chinos with black sneakers.
He also sported a dashing salt-and-pepper beard and wore his hair shaggier than usual.
Sutton went with a more elegant look with a long double-breasted cashmere overcoat.
It featured interesting details usually reserved for military attire and classic trench coats, including a storm flap over her left shoulder and epaulets on her shoulders.
The Music Man star wore a lovely dark green maxi dress underneath that flowed elegantly and reached down to her ankles.
She wore her shoulder-length brunette locks styled pin straight, and she completed her look with a pair of classic black pumps.
As Hugh Jackman and Sutton walked down the sidewalk they had their hands locked tightly, and they turned periodically to gaze into each others eyes.
The former co-stars Hugh Jackman and Sutton appeared to be having a great time, as they could be seen smiling broadly and laughing together.
Representatives for Jackman and Foster didn’t immediately comment on their evening out together.
Their outing comes after the Logan star attended a performance of Foster’s production of Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles over the weekend, which had just transferred after wrapping up a run in New York at the end of November.
The two stars had previously shared the stage on Broadway when the played the leads in an acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man.
Jackman isn’t the only one recently exiting a marriage, as Foster filed to divorce her husband Ted Griffin in October of last year.
She had been married to the 53-year-old Ocean’s screenwriter for 10 years.
