The romance between the X-Men alum and Foster, who starred together in Broadway’s 2022 revival of The Music Man, was confirmed when they were photographed holding hands during an outing in Los Angeles in January. The actors’ red carpet debut as a couple came on Oct. 26 when Foster supported Jackman at the AFI Fest premiere of Song Sung Blue in Los Angeles.
Jackman and his ex-wife Deborra-lee Furness, who share two adult children, announced in September 2023 that they were breaking up after 27 years of marriage, finalizing their divorce in June.
