Sutton Foster Shares Exciting News After Going Public with Hugh Jackman.
The Broadway veterans first crossed paths in 2008 when Sutton took on the role in Shrek the Musical.
Hugh Jackman’s relationship with Sutton Foster is intensifying, and the Broadway star is demonstrating that her compassion matches her remarkable talent as she shares some extraordinary news.
The 49-year-old Younger actress is not only captivating audiences on stage but is also taking action to assist those impacted by the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles, reaffirming her reputation for generosity alongside her artistic abilities.
Sutton, who recently confirmed her growing relationship with Hugh, 56, utilized Instagram to announce a fundraising class at The Limit dance studio in New York City, where she serves as an instructor.
The initiative, scheduled for January 14, 2025, aims to generate funds for the SoCal Fire Fund, which will support victims and first responders affected by the disaster.
"Join us for a Special Dance Cardio class on January 14, 2025, at 10am ET! All proceeds from this class will be donated to the SoCal Fire Fund! In-Person is SOLD OUT, but there are plenty of spots still available on Zoom," she wrote, urging her followers to contribute. "If you want to donate but can’t make class, book a Zoom class and the proceeds from your purchase will go to helping the SoCal Fire Fund!"
The wildfires that ignited on January 7 have caused significant destruction in the communities of Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
Driven by powerful Santa Ana winds, with gusts reaching between 80 and 100 mph, the Palisades and Eaton fires have ravaged over 35,000 acres, resulting in the destruction or damage of at least 10,000 structures, many of which are family residences. Tragically, sixteen individuals have lost their lives, and another sixteen remain unaccounted for.
In response to this disaster, the SoCal Fire Fund has initiated efforts to provide both immediate assistance and long-term recovery support for the affected communities, including families, students, and school staff who are facing challenges in the aftermath of the disaster.
While Sutton is dedicated to her philanthropic efforts, her personal life is also thriving. The Tony Award-winning actress and the Australian star have publicly acknowledged their relationship, appearing together in Santa Monica, thereby confirming suspicions that had circulated for months.
Hugh, who concluded his 27-year marriage to Deborra-Lee Furness, 68, in September 2023, and Sutton, who discreetly separated from her husband of ten years, screenwriter Ted Griffin, in 2024, have discovered comfort and happiness in one another.
The seasoned Broadway performers initially crossed paths in 2008 when Sutton took the lead role in Shrek the Musical. However, it was during their collaboration in the 2022 Broadway revival of The Music Man that a genuine connection developed between them.
The chemistry they shared was unmistakable, yet both were dealing with significant personal challenges at that moment. As they supported one another through their individual marital difficulties, their friendship evolved and ultimately transformed into a deeper relationship.Their formal introduction as a couple occurred during an intimate dinner in Santa Monica, where they were observed sharing laughter, smiles, and holding hands, their affection evident to onlookers.
This public appearance came after a notable event for Hugh, who had attended a performance of Sutton’s recent production, Once Upon A Mattress, which had recently moved to Los Angeles following a successful engagement in New York.
