Hugh Jackman has taken the next step in his romance with Broadway star Sutton Foster, a year after they were first linked and a month after they made their red carpet debut in Los Angeles.
The Wolverine actor took a moment on Wednesday to pay tribute to his partner on Instagram, marking the first time either had acknowledged the other on social media since the beginning of their relationship.

Hugh and Sutton couldn't help but sing each other's praises while co-starring on The Music Man, with the Australian actor calling her an "exceptional talent and friend" in a social media post in 2021.

She added: "He disarms everyone, and he doesn't make anything about him. And he's now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, 'Well, I hope we get along.' But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It's really fun to meet new friends after 40."
