Broadway star Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from her screenwriter husband amid rumours she is moving on with Aussie superstar Hugh Jackman.

Foster, who co-starred with Jackman in the stage show The Music Man in 2022, was married to Ted Griffin for 10 years.

The pair share a seven-year-old daughter, whom they welcomed via adoption, the New York Post reports.

In Touch magazine previously reported in December 2023 that Jackman was “romancing” Foster, who also starred in the TV series Younger.

The pair played to packed houses with Foster as Jackman’s leading lady during their Broadway run and were photographed together at events.

According to the New York Post, citing multiple sources, Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, have fallen in love.

“They are 100 per cent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source previously said, according to the publication.

“They are still together.

“They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”

Jackman filed for divorce from Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, who he had been married to for 27 years, in September 2023.

Furness and Jackman released a joint statement saying: “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

A representative for Jackman in Sydney has been contacted for comment.
