Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster's Romantic Outing Strikes a Chord
Originally appeared on E! Online
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are stepping out together.
The couple were hand-in-hand while going out for a walk in New York City May 17.
Hugh and Sutton—who confirmed their romance back in January during a PDA-filled stroll in Santa Monica, California—were dressed casually for the outing and appeared in good spirits, smiling as they took in the city.
The rare date comes as Hugh is currently starring in the off-broadway play, Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Class, which kicked off April 28 and runs through June 18.
This couple's romance started on the stage, too, as they costarred together in the Broadway revival of the Music Man in 2022. More than two years after their final performance, the pair revealed their friendship had blossomed into romance following their respective splits from spouses Deborra-Lee Furness and Ted Griffin.
Hugh, for his part, was married to Deborra-Lee for 30 years and welcomed kids Oscar, 24, and Ava, 19, before the former couple announced their separation in September 2023.

'We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage," the pair told People in a statement at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.'
Meanwhile, Sutton and Ted—who share 7-year-old daughter Emily—separated a little over a year later, with Sutton filing for divorce in September, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
But when Hugh and Sutton officially confirmed their romance months after the Younger star filed for divorce, the now-couple have shared a bond for years.
'He's now become one of my best friends,' Sutton gushed to Vogue while working with Hugh in 2022. 'Which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, 'Well, I hope we get along.''
As she put it, 'He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous—and all of that is true.'

Jesse Watters' New Nickname For Zohran Mamdani Makes Him Sound Ridiculously Cool
Fox News host Jesse Watters has unveiled a new nickname for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — and people can't help but notice it makes him sound really, really cool. Over the past few days, the commentator has referred to the progressive rising star as 'Zohran the Destroyer,' or simply 'the destroyer,' multiple times. In a viral screenshot from Thursday's episode of 'Jesse Watters Primetime,' a chyron reads, 'ZOHRAN THE DESTROYER WRECKS DEM PARTY.' The segment touched on angst from some Democrats over Mamdani threatening the status quo. The democratic socialist beat former New York Gov. and accused sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday in a stunning upset. 'What's Zohran the Destroyer got going for him?' Watters asked in a monologue that trashed Mamdani's policy proposals and mocked his supporters. He also called him a 'smooth-talking assassin.' On 'The Five' on Friday, Watters mused, 'Zohran the Destroyer is about to give Karl Marx a woke makeover, if Democrats can't stop him from becoming the next mayor of New York City.' On social media, people joked about how awesome the moniker made Mamdani sound.

‘Sirens' Star's Mystery Thriller ‘Drop' Gets Peacock Streaming Date
Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar in "Drop." Drop — a mystery thriller starring Netflix's Sirens star Meghann Fahy and 1923's Brandon Sklenar — is coming soon to streaming on Peacock. Directed by Christopher Landon, Drop was released in theaters on April 11 before debuting on digital streaming via premium video on demand on April 29. The summary for Drop reads, "Meghann Fahy (Devon in Sirens) plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. "But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.' According to Peacock, Drop will begin streaming on the NBC Universal platform on Friday, July 11. For those who haven't subscribed to the platform, Peacock offers an ad-based package for $7.99 per month or $79 per year and an ad-free package for $13.99 per month or $139.99 per year. Meghann Fahy Gets Top Billing On 'Drop' Following Meghann Fahy's success of Max's The White Lotus Season 2 — which earned her an Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series Primetime Emmy Award nomination in 2023 — and a pivotal supporting role in Netflix's limited series The Perfect Couple, Fahy is billed as the lead actor in Drop. In an interview with Variety before Drop was released in theaters in April, Fahy told the trade publication that she was excited to be No. 1 on the call sheet for the film. 'It's been amazing. It's so interesting when you go film something, and then a year later, you get to see and share it with people,' Fahy told Variety. 'It's a really, really cool moment. I loved the process of making the film so much. It was a very new experience for me in a lot of ways. I learned a ton, and I met some amazing people.' Ultimately, Fahy knows there are several other talented people who come together to make movies happen. 'I formed such close relationships with the cast, especially Brandon Sklenar and [fellow actor] Jeffrey Self, so sharing the moment with them is something I will remember when I look back because it felt like such a team sport,' Fahy told Variety. 'Everybody in the cast was there every day, from the beginning to the end of the day, whether or not they ended up being on camera, because we never knew how far we were going to get [in each scene]," she added. "So, it felt very communal, like, everybody was a big part of the making of the film.' Drop earned $16.6 million domestically and $12 million internationally for a worldwide box office gross of $28.6 million. Drop had an $11 million production budget before prints and advertising, per The Numbers. Drop was a big hit with Rotten Tomatoes critics, who collectively gave the film an 84% 'fresh' rating based on 220 reviews. Drop also earned a 79% 'fresh' Popcornmeter score based on 1,000-plus verified user ratings. Rated PG-13, Drop begins streaming on Peacock on July 11.
