Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are on cloud nine.
“They’re happier than ever,” an insider told Us Weekly on Thursday, adding that the pair’s relationship is “lighthearted,” “joyful” and “a balance of playfulness and genuine admiration” for each other.
According to the source, the two spend their time together dining at restaurants around New York City and taking romantic strolls in Central Park.
Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, also reportedly support each other in their respective careers, as the “X-Men” star appreciates her “immense talent, infectious positivity and grounded nature.”
The “Younger” actress, meanwhile, is attracted to the actor’s “kindness, professionalism and ability to make others feel valued,” per the source.
The insider also said the duo prefers to keep their relationship under the radar so they can “grow naturally” in their “wonderful next chapter” together.
Last month, Page Six exclusively revealed Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage.
Prior to that, a source told us she and Jackman were “100 percent together.”
“[They] are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” our insider said.
“They spend all of their free time together. They are a regular couple, they are just in private,” the source added.
Page Six learned Jackman and Foster sparked a connection when they starred together in the Broadway musical “The Music Man.”
The production ran from December 2021 to January 2023.
The “Greatest Showman” star and his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, announced their separation after 27 years of marriage in September 2023.
A Broadway insider previously told us the split was a “long time coming,” pointing out that Furness, 68, was absent from rehearsals for “The Music Man.”
Furness’ friend raised eyebrows recently when she claimed the rumors of Jackman’s affair with Foster were “on point.”
