Hugh Jackman made a high-profile appearance at the 2026 Met Gala with his girlfriend, Sutton Foster, marking their first public event as a couple. The Australian actor wore a Giorgio Armani tuxedo with a diamond brooch, while Foster dazzled in a gold dress. The pair held hands and shared loving glances on the red carpet.
Jackman and Foster have been dating since late 2024. The actor previously attended the Met Gala with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, from 2004 to 2023, just months before their split. He attended solo in 2024 and skipped the 2025 event.
According to a source, Jackman is ready to take full responsibility for the breakdown of his marriage and hopes to move forward peacefully. He reportedly wants to heal the rift with Furness in time for their daughter Ava's 21st birthday in July.
The source said Jackman feels terrible about the situation and wants to hash things out with Furness, even if it means taking the brunt of the blame. Furness filed for divorce in May 2025, citing betrayal in a public statement.
Rumours have circulated that Jackman proposed to Foster during a trip to Costa Rica, and they may marry once Foster's divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin is finalized. Foster filed for divorce in October 2024 and shares a 10-year-old daughter with Griffin.
