Hugh Jackman's hectic schedule strains new romance with Sutton Foster

Hugh Jackman and Broadway star Sutton Foster are facing a major roadblock in their relationship as Jackman's packed slate of film projects leaves little time for their partnership. An insider said, “Hugh's a workaholic and she's starting to understand how lonely Deb must have felt at times,” referring to Jackman's recent divorce and intense work ethic. Foster, who is also busy with her own career and raising her nine‑year‑old daughter, has found it difficult to attend the many events Jackman invites her to. The couple, who went public with their romance in early 2025, were recently seen together at the premiere of Jackman's film *The Death of Robin Hood* in New York, where social‑media reaction described their public displays as “cringe.” Critics have noted that their demanding schedules are turning them into “passing ships,” with quality time becoming scarce.

Both actors have multiple upcoming projects—Jackman is set to star as Long John Silver in a Ridley Scott remake, while Foster continues her stage and screen work. Their fans and industry observers are watching closely as the couple navigates the challenges of balancing high‑profile careers with a new partnership.
