Eventually, the duo got married in 1996 and adopted two children, Oscar and Ava. Their 27‑year marriage survived the pressures of fame for a long time, and they appeared to be a stable, loving family both on and off screen. However, rumours about difficulties behind the scenes started to surface as Jackman's career took off and his life became more widely known. Citing a desire to seek personal development, the pair announced their split in September 2023. At the time, many fans expressed shock and sadness—after all, few believed their fairytale would end.
New Love, Old Headlines—Jackman & Foster's Public Declaration
The story took a turn when reports began linking Jackman and Sutton Foster, his co‑star in the 2022 Broadway revival of 'The Music Man.'

The couple had already made their red carpet debut together at the movie premiere of 'Song Sung Blue' in October, which clearly signified that their relationship is more than a rumour. The public's response has been mixed; some fans have welcomed the couple, while others are still critical, citing Jackman's divorce's recently, and raising concerns about its overlap with his marriage.
However, a lot of people see the new chapter as a man who is prepared to go on, accepting change, embracing sincere beginnings, and creating a future with someone who has shared his artistic journey.
