Hugh Jackman ‘wants to make’ Sutton Foster his wife after finalizing divorce from ex Deborra-Lee Furness
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hugh Jackman is reportedly thinking about starting a new chapter in his life by tying the knot with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster.
The ‘Logan’ star was earlier married to Deborra-Lee Furness from 1996 to 2023. Though separated, they have not yet finalized their divorce.
Following his split, Jackman recently confirmed his relationship with the 49-year-old Foster as the two stepped out hand-in-hand for dinner in Santa Monica, California, in January, as reported by Perth Now.
Also, the new love birds were seen packing on the PDA a few weeks ago.

‘Marriage is the end game’ for Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster
An insider has claimed that Hugh Jackman “wants to” see Sutton Foster as his wife. They grew close in 2021 while they were working on the musical ‘The Music Man’.
The tipster told Sky News, “Hugh had a lot of back and forth while he was in Australia for the holidays but ultimately, he realized how much he missed her.”
“The magic came flooding back when they reunited and ultimately marriage is the end game for these two. Hugh is clear he wants to make Sutton his wife,” they added.
Foster was earlier married to Ted Griffin and ended her decade-long marriage in October 2024.
Hugh Jackman’s divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness is expected to ‘get messy’
However, the ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ actor cannot walk down the aisle immediately as his divorce from 69-year-old actress Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he shares two adult children - Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18 - is yet to be finalized.
A source previously revealed, “One of the biggest reasons why they haven’t yet filed is that they never had a prenup. When they got married, they thought it would be forever. Who doesn’t? At the time, neither of them expected Hugh’s career to get as enormous as it has.”
The insider also noted that since “there was no prenup, and he made a fortune during their marriage, this divorce is not going to be cut and dry".
"It may even get messy because the stakes are high," they added.
