Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made their Met Gala debut together on May 4, 2026. The couple drew significant attention due to Jackman’s recent split from his long-time wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.
Jackman wore a classic black tuxedo while Foster dazzled in a shimmery gold gown featuring a thigh-high slit. The event showcased their relationship, which they confirmed on January 6, 2025.
Prior to this appearance, Jackman separated from Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage. They share two children, Oscar and Ava. Meanwhile, Foster filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October 2024 after ten years of marriage.
Foster described her relationship with Jackman as creating their own “little community”. The couple starred together in the Broadway revival of The Music Man from late 2021 until January 2023.
The public response has been mixed. Many fans expressed support, while others criticized the pairing. One fan commented, “Thumbs down! It’s forever team Debbie over here!!” This highlights the complexities of celebrity relationships.
Jackman last attended the Met Gala solo in 2024 after his split. Foster, a two-time Tony winner, has also been married twice before. Their appearance at the gala marks a significant moment in their evolving relationship.
As the evening unfolded, social media buzzed with reactions to their debut. Some praised their fashion choices while others questioned the timing amid personal upheaval.
The couple’s next public appearance remains uncertain as they navigate their new relationship dynamics.
