Hugh Jackman's girlfriend, Sutton Foster, has opened up about her career in the public eye and how she navigates the intensity that comes with it. The Broadway star shared that she often feels "really alone", and hopes that more women begin "supporting" each other instead of competing.
"I've been a leading lady for a long time … but often I feel really alone," she said during a Women's Health Lab panel called The Science of Staying Strong: Longevity, Movement & Resilience. "I reached out to a lot of my contemporaries last year, and a lot of the women on Broadway, and we all are usually on our own. Everyone shared the commonality of loneliness."
Sutton seemingly referenced the ongoing discourse surrounding comparisons to Hugh's ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. "Women of power can actually support each other, and we don’t have to be pitted against each other," she added.

The pair, who share two children, Oscar and Ava, released a statement informing fans of their separation at the time. The former couple penned: "We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."

Their relationship came after Sutton filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024, after a decade together. The pair made their red carpet debut back in October 2025 at the Song Sung Blue premiere during AFI Fest, held at the TCL Chinese Theatre.
