Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness shocked everyone when they announced in 2023 that they were divorcing after nearly three decades of marriage.

Jackman remained a single man for a bit but then rumors of a new love interest with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster began to swirl. Some shrugged off the chatter that there was anything going on between them because it was thought that Foster was happily married to Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin. That is until she surprised fans by following for divorce on Oct. 22, 2024.

Now, reports that these two are an item and “very much in love” have spread all over the internet. And as one insider told Page Six, Jackman and Foster “have fallen in love” and are “100 percent together and in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.” While another source added: “They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”

Many fans want to know as much as they can about the rumored new “it” couple including what their age difference is and who has a higher net worth. Read on for those answers.

Foster was born on March 18, 1975, in Statesboro, Georgia but was raised in Troy, Michigan.

She then attended Carnegie Mellon University but left after one year in order to pursue a theatrical career full-time. Foster made a name for herself starring on Broadway over the years. She’s also won Tony Awards for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for her roles in Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes. In addition, Foster has had roles in the productions of Little Women, Young Frankenstein, and Shrek the Musical

In 2015, she began starring on the scripted TV series Younger in which she played Liza Miller until the show wrapped in 2021. The following year, she and Jackman starred alongside each other in The Music Man on Broadway and it’s been reported that sparks flew between them the moment they stepped onstage together. That show wrapped in early 2023.

Today, Foster has a net worth of $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Jackman was born on Oct. 12, 1968, in Sydney, New South Wales Australia; making him six years and five months older than his rumored love interest.

He’s been in several movies and Broadway productions during his career including Erskineville Kings, Van Helsing, The Prestige, Les Misérables, and of course his iconic role of Wolverine in the X-Men films.

For his work, Jackman has won an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony leaving him just one Oscar win away from achieving an EGOT.

And while Foster’s net worth is nothing to sneeze at, it’s peanuts compared to how much Jackman is worth as the Logan actor’s estimated net worth is a whopping $100 million per Celebrity Net Worth.
