Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have quickly solidified themselves as one of the more controversial couples in pop culture, and it looks like they’re ready to take things to the next level.
The theatrical pair, after making more public appearances as a couple over the last year, are allegedly considering tying the knot. An insider recently came forward to report that not only have the two of them “talked about” their future and marriage, but that the Wolverine icon seemingly is convinced that Sutton is “the one.” The news didn’t come long after he faced a massive wave of backlash over his divorce and “betrayal” towards his ex-wife of nearly three decades, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Hugh Jackman And Sutton Foster Have Reportedly 'Talked About' Getting Married
One of today's most talked-about celebrity couples is undoubtedly the Music Man musical co-stars, who got off to a bit of a rocky start.
The award-winning actor and his ex-wife of nearly three decades, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their separation in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. The former couple, who share two children, said at the time that they were choosing to pursue "individual growth" while continuing to prioritize their family. She filed for divorce in May 2025, and their divorce was finalized the following month.
On the other hand, he and the Broadway legend had known each other for years before their relationship turned romantic, becoming close friends while starring together in the 2022 revival of The Music Man. After both had separated from their spouses, romance rumors began swirling, and they were publicly photographed holding hands at the start of 2025, effectively confirming their relationship. Some reports have alleged that their romance began while they were still married, but neither of them has publicly confirmed those claims. However, his ex-wife did release a statement about how devastated she was following his "betrayal," without getting into detail.
Hugh's divorce and rather quick coupling with Sutton caused a lot of online backlash, but an insider made it clear that it doesn't seem to be getting to them, because they've reportedly been considering bringing their romance to another level.
"They have talked about getting engaged in the future," the source told Us Weekly. "They are that close."
Social Media Users React To The Engagement Claims As Sources Say Hugh Thinks Sutton Is 'The One'
Due to the timing of the Les Misérables actor's divorce from his wife, as well as the rumors circulating that he and the Younger actress might've started being romantic while he was still married, the news that they could be considering marriage was surprising to many social media users.
However, the insider told the above publication that their bond is very intense, and that Hugh "told his friends he thinks she is 'the one.'"
"They function as if they're living together in New York even though they still have separate places," they added. "They are basically living together...They have already blended their lives. His children have met her daughter."
On social media platforms, once the engagement talk report hit, users expressed their feelings, including their outrage and disappointment.
"I'm sure his wife of over 30 years also thought she was the one," commented an Instagram user.
"Technically she was the plus-one," joked another.
"I don't like this couple," a user responded. "Everything is a show-off. You and your first wife looked so harmonious."
"Sad for his wife," commented another.
