During the first instance in which they locked lips, Jackman, dressed in a sleek black polo and matching trousers, leaned in for a kiss while Foster, sporting a cozy cardigan, scarf, and casual sneakers, wrapped her arms around him.
The pair’s affectionate display didn’t stop there. In another clip, the two were seen pulling into the In-N-Out drive-thru, where they kissed again while waiting for their food, before eventually driving off.
Public reaction to Jackman and Foster’s makeout session was swift and divided, with many online users taking to social media to voice their opinions.
One netizen remarked, “Yikes!” while another opined, “He seems too proud of this embarrassment!” “This is too much,” expressed an observer.
Several others expressed discomfort and sympathy for Jackman’s ex-wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, particularly given the highly public nature of Jackman and Sutton’s interactions.
“I feel bad for his wife. They were together for so many years,” empathized an Instagrammer. Another lamented, “Imagine his wife having to see this. So sad.”

Some observers accused Jackman and Foster of being insensitive with the PDA. “Why rub this relationship in his wife’s face [sic],” wondered one person, while another noted, “So disrespectful and unnecessary 😮.” Someone else succinctly shared their discontent by writing, “Disappointing.”
However, not all reactions were negative. A few people spoke out in support of the couple, urging others to let them live their lives. “They looking good together and happy ….. let people be happy leave them alone [sic],” defended a supporter, while another praised, “Beautiful couple.”
Although Jackman and Foster’s relationship comes after he split from Furness, someone dubbed a source by the Daily Mail said Jackman’s ex-wife had already grown suspicious of his connection with Foster during their time as co-stars.
“Deborra-Lee had her suspicions when Hugh started working with Sutton. Their relationship is not a secret to her,” revealed the source. However, Furness, who shares two adopted children with Jackman, is said to be steering clear of the ongoing chatter.
The source explained that Furness has no intention of publicly commenting on the rumors or her ex-husband’s new romance, saying, “Deborra-Lee wants to be left out of this narrative. She is not going to address this or speak against Hugh.”
Despite the swirling rumors, insiders close to the situation emphasized that Jackman and Foster are approaching their relationship with care.
“Time has passed for Hugh to mourn his divorce, and now Sutton is over her relationship, they are getting closer to making it official,” a second insider shared, adding that while the pair won’t hide their relationship, they also don’t intend to parade it for
“They aren’t going to shove it down everyone’s throat. They became close friends while working together and got to confide in each other over their individual troubles,” clarified the insider.
The source also stressed that Hugh Jackman still holds Furness in high regard and remains committed to maintaining a respectful relationship for the sake of their children, adding, “They are repairing what they can, and will never talk ill about each other.”
