Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster seemed to make their relationship official when they were spotted out on a dinner date on Monday evening.
The 56-year-old X-Men star and the 49-year-old Broadway veteran were seen holding hands and grinning ear to ear as they had a night on the town in Santa Monica, California, in photos obtained by People.
The outing comes the same day that Jackman was reported to be planning to go ‘public’ with his new ‘girlfriend’ in the imminent future.
The new pairing follows Hugh and his estranged wife Deborra-lee Furness’ announcement in September 2023 that they were separating after 27 years of marriage.
In the photos, Jackman looked casual-cool in a charcoal zip-up jacket that he wore over a slim gray sweater and a pair of tan chinos with black sneakers.
He also sported a dashing salt-and-pepper beard and wore his hair shaggier than usual.
