After a total of two divorces, an alleged affair and months of tabloid gossip, Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have finally made their glittering paparazzi debut. Per Peopleformer Music man The co-stars were photographed holding hands as they laughed and stared into each other’s eyes on Monday night. In fact, they look so carefree and in love that I almost want to believe that they are blissfully unaware of the drama surrounding their relationship. Almost.

Let’s recap the couple’s timeline, shall we? In December 2021, Jackman and Foster premiered their revival of the 1957 classic on Broadway. The Music man. They spent nearly two years on stage together playing Professor Harold Hill and Marian Paroo, and sources later told Page Six that the actors “spent all their free time together” and “sneaked around.” (Neither has commented on rumors of an affair.) In 2023, Jackman and his now ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness announced that they had decided to end their 27-year marriage amicably. The following year, Foster filed for divorce from her husband of ten years, Ted Griffin. And now Foster and Jackman have brought their love to life with completely candid, definitely not pre-arranged photos People. Who said romance is dead?

Jackman was also reportedly seen in the audience at one of Foster’s final performances on Saturday Once upon a time there was a mattress at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles. He sat next to Carol Burnett, who originated Foster’s role in the show’s production in 1959. Cute! My messy origins aside, I will reluctantly root for Wolverine and his new lover. I need something to believe in anyway, and finding soulmates later in life seems like a small miracle I can get behind.
