Sutton Foster Is 'Mad With Jealousy' Over BF, Hugh Jackman? Is His Ex-Wife, Deborra The Reason?

In January 2026, Hugh Jackman (57) and Sutton Foster (50) were photographed engaging in significant public displays of affection during a romantic vacation in Costa Rica. The couple was seen taking a sunset dip in the ocean, where they affectionately wrapped their arms around each other, held hands, and laughed as they leapt over oncoming waves. This getaway follows Hugh and Sutton's over a year of public dating after they confirmed their relationship in early 2025. Amid their mushy date photos making rounds, information regarding the actress' apparent jealousy over Hugh surfaced. Read to know the reason for her feeling that way.

What is the reason for Hugh Jackman's girlfriend, Sutton Foster's, jealousy over him?

Recently, reports emerged claiming that Sutton Foster has been "mad with jealousy" over his chemistry with another person, according to Radar Online. While most might think that the divorced Hugh Jackman's ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, has something to do with Sutton Foster's jealousy over her boyfriend, it is absolutely untrue. Although there were reports of a "mending their friendship" between the former spouses after nearly two years of tension, it did not cause any trouble in Hugh Jackman's relationship with his current ladylove, Sutton.

Revealing the reason for Sutton Foster's jealousy, an insider told Radar Online that she was unsettled by how close Hugh Jackman and his co-star, Kate Hudson, got while playing a musical duo who fall in love in their new movie, Song Sung Blue. Kate notably joked on social media that Hugh had become her "work hubby". Although Kate's comment might be just a piece of her appreciation towards Hugh and her happiness at their work collaboration, Sutton reportedly had a green-eyed response.

Was Sutton Foster supposed to play Hugh Jackman's partner in Song Sung Blue?

The insider claimed that, besides Hugh and Kate's growing closeness, there might be another reason for Sutton Foster's jealousy. According to the source, Sutton was a "natural fit" for the role of Hugh Jackman's on-screen lover in Song Sung Blue, as she is a renowned Broadway singer of a similar age and the "right look". However, she was reportedly disqualified because the project required a co-star with equal international fame as Hugh, and thus Kate Hudson checked the box. The insider was quoted by Radar Online as:

"The first thing people may wonder when they see Song Sung Blue is, 'Hey, why isn't Sutton Foster in this movie with Hugh?' She's the right age, she has the right look, and, unlike Kate Hudson, she's actually an accomplished singer. But the vision for this project required that Hugh star opposite someone who is equally famous, and that disqualified Sutton."

Reports also indicate Sutton Foster may be particularly sensitive to the dynamic of growing closeness between on-screen partners because her own romance with Hugh Jackman began while they worked closely together on the Broadway revival of The Music Man. Despite details of tension between Hugh and Sutton, the couple seemed to be doing fine and indulging in PDA. Recently, they were seen in Costa Rica, amid blue waters, holding hands and hugging each other affectionately, without caring for the public eye. Sutton wore a blue two-piece swimsuit and styled her hair up in a bun, and Hugh donned a blue printed swim trunk.
