Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster Have ‘Noncommital’ Body Language, Expert Says
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are making waves as the next possible couple to formally announce their romance. Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage. Sources allege that she and her Music Man co-star have hit it off and can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together. However, a body language expert says Jackman and Foster appear to lack passion.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster’s body language appears ‘noncommital’ and lacking passion, an expert says
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster raved about working with each other on their Broadway hit, The Music Man. Now, fans of stars see that a romance was likely brewing. Jackman and Foster worked together on the Broadway show from December 2021 until January 2023, and they became romantically interested in each other by December 2023. In October 2024, Foster filed for divorce from her husband, Ted Griffin. Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness split in September 2023.
Sources allege that Jackman and Foster are completely in love with each other and plan on taking their relationship public. However, body language expert Judi James told DailyMail.com that the couple’s past red carpet appearance left a lot of questions unanswered.
“In terms of relationship signals, the body language here looks noncommittal,” James said. “There are some overkill rituals that suggest a desire to create some form of an announcement to hint or to launch them as an authentic couple, but there are no subtle tie-signs that signal this is more than just a working relationship.” She added that Jackman and Foster lacked “sexual touches” in the clips she saw.
“Hugh looks keen to suggest some closeness, but the body language is not well synchronized here,” she continued. “He moves to clasp her hand and she moves away. Their eyes meet in a glance but there are no signs of suppressed passion.”
James noted that Jackman and Foster appear “happy together,” but they give the vibe of “co-stars plugging a movie.”
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster allegedly ‘sneak around’ to keep their relationship a secret
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster aren’t putting their alleged romance on full display. With the Younger star only recently filing for divorce from her husband, the Broadway co-stars likely want to maintain their privacy as they navigate the possible public fallout. A source told Page Six that Jackman and Foster are completely “in love” but keeping it out of the media as much as possible.
“They spend all of their free time together,” a source alleged. “They are a regular couple; they are just in private.” The insider added that in order to maintain their privacy, “they sneak around.”
Another source initially told Page Six that while Jackman and Foster do their best to hide their romance, it’s become “common knowledge.”
Yet another insider called their relationship “an open secret on Broadway” to In Touch Weekly.
The ‘Younger’ star sold her $2 million home before her divorce filing
Sutton Foster might’ve been giving the public signs of marital trouble earlier than her divorce filing. She reportedly sold her $2 million New York estate in May 2024 after putting it on the market in December 2023. She and Jackman allegedly became romantically interested in each other in December 2023.
Foster once raved about the seven-bedroom, five-bathroom property. “[Ted Griffin] called me on a break and said, ‘I think I found our forever home.’ And the minute I walked in I felt the same way,” she told Architectural Digest. “It felt like that home you want your kid to grow up in. I could see Christmases and holidays, friends, and family.”
