Hugh Jackman’s (57) Marriage Plans With Sutton Foster (50) Take Unexpected Turn

Hollywood star Hugh Jackman and Broadway icon Sutton Foster are reportedly facing a bump in the road with their wedding plans. According to sources close to the couple, while they have reportedly taken steps toward marriage, including an engagement, the situation is complicated by Jackman’s family.

The actor, who finalized his divorce from longtime wife Deborra-Lee Furness in 2025, is said to be carefully navigating the feelings of his two adult children, Oscar and Ava. Insiders tell reporters that the children remain “steadfastly loyal” to their mother, creating an emotional hurdle for a new marriage.

Jackman is reportedly determined to maintain a respectful environment for his kids and doesn’t want them to feel pressured about the wedding. “Hugh really wants his kids at the wedding,” a source explained, adding that he is unwilling to move forward unless his family feels comfortable and included.

The couple first made their relationship public in January 2025 after starring together in the Broadway revival of The Music Man. Since then, media speculation about their romance and engagement has been intense.

Despite this, both Jackman and Foster have mostly stayed private, avoiding public comments about their engagement or the challenges surrounding their blended family. Professionally, Jackman has remained busy.

He is set to star in the upcoming murder mystery comedy The Sheep Detectives, where he plays a shepherd caught up in a strange farm-based crime story. He is also involved in the A24 production The Death of Robin Hood, a darker take on the classic outlaw tale.

Sutton Foster is equally active, performing across the country with her solo concert tour, An Evening With Sutton Foster, after her acclaimed Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress. She also has high-profile events planned, including headlining the Sun Valley Music Festival Gala in August and hosting exclusive creative retreats.

Sources say both Jackman and Foster are focused on balancing their busy careers while carefully managing the personal dynamics of their families. The couple continues to move forward cautiously, keeping their engagement and wedding plans private as they navigate this next chapter.
