Congratulations to Sutton Foster, 49, as she got engaged 💍 ❤️to Hugh Jackman, 56, though they have kept their relationship private after they revealed that… but ‘spend all of their free time in… See more👇

In a stunning revelation that has taken both Broadway and Hollywood fans by surprise, actress and singer Sutton Foster, 49, is officially engaged to Hugh Jackman, 56.

The unexpected pairing was confirmed early this week, with representatives for both stars issuing a joint statement: “We are overjoyed to share that Sutton and Hugh are engaged to be married. Their relationship has brought them immense happiness, and they appreciate the love and respect of their fans during this time.”

The news sent social media into a frenzy as fans reacted with shock and delight. The couple, who had previously never been romantically linked publicly, managed to keep their relationship under wraps for more than a year.

The two reportedly grew close following a collaborative charity event in New York in early 2024, where their mutual love for musical theatre and philanthropy sparked an instant connection.

According to close friends, Sutton and Hugh “spend all of their free time in the Hudson Valley,” where they’ve been seen enjoying local cafes, nature trails, and even participating in small community theater events under pseudonyms.

One local resident described them as “charming and low-key — just two people clearly in love and enjoying each other’s company without the pressure of the spotlight.”

Despite maintaining a private relationship, the couple made their red carpet debut just last month at the Tony Awards, where Foster was nominated for her role in the revival of “Once Upon a Mattress.”

Though they walked separately, eagle-eyed fans noted subtle signs of their closeness, including exchanged glances and matching rings worn on their right hands.

Sources say the proposal took place during a quiet weekend getaway to Lake Como, Italy. Jackman, ever the romantic, reportedly orchestrated a private dinner under the stars, where he surprised Foster with a vintage sapphire and diamond engagement ring.

This engagement marks a new chapter for both stars. Jackman finalized his divorce from longtime partner Deborra-Lee Furness in late 2023, while Foster, who was previously married to actor Bobby Cannavale (in this fictional scenario), has remained focused on her Broadway career and raising her daughter.

No wedding date has been announced, but those close to the couple hint that a small, intimate ceremony is planned for late summer, with close friends and family in attendance.

Fans are ecstatic at the pairing of two beloved performers. As one Twitter user aptly put it: “Broadway royalty meets Wolverine. I never saw it coming, but I’m obsessed.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
