Hugh Jackman has seemingly confirmed the relationship rumours with Sutton Foster following his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.
Jackman, 56, and Furness, 69, who share two children Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, together, announced their divorce in a joint statement back in September 2023.
It read: "We have been blessed to share almost 3 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."

They continued: "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.
"We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."
The former couple signed off the official statement 'Deb and Hugh Jackman', adding: "This is the sole statement either of us will make."
Jackman and Furness first met back in 1995 on the set of the Aussie prison drama, Correlli.
Furness starred as Louisa Corelli, a prison psychologist who was hired at an all-male prison before forming a connection with hardened criminal, Kevin Jones, played by Jackman.
After clearly hitting it off on set, they then tied the knot just a few years later in 1996 before having their first child, Oscar, in 2000 and then adopting their second child, Ava, in 2005.
Since their split, however, Jackman has seemingly confirmed his new romance with Broadway star Foster, 49, following mass speculation the pair were an item.
They could be seen enjoying an evening together in Santa Monica, California, on Monday (6 January) holding hands and smiling in the street.
Foster and Jackman co-starred in the 2022 revival of The Music Man.
Last year, Foster opened up to People what it was like working alongside Jackman, saying: "He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar."
Additionally, during a joint appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers to promote The Music Man in May 2022, she added: "The show is so joyful, and I’m having the time of my life playing opposite this guy."
The admiration was clearly mutual, with Jackman gushing: "This is a six-time Tony nominee, two-time winner. Like, I saw her do Thoroughly Modern Millie when you were like four years old.
"But I’ve watched everything she's done. It’s amazing."
