Hugh Jackman and Laura Foster Spotted Hand-in-Hand in NYC

New York City, NY — Hugh Jackman, 56, and Laura Foster, 50, were seen enjoying a leisurely stroll together on Saturday, May 17, in New York City. The couple was spotted hand-in-hand in what appeared to be a joyful outing, as they embraced the warm spring weather.

In exclusive photos obtained by PEOPLE, Jackman wore a casual white T-shirt paired with gray pants and sneakers, while Foster opted for a dark navy dress and loafers, complementing her look with a woven handbag.

This sighting comes as Jackman is currently performing in an Off-Broadway play that began on April 28 and will run until June 18. The couple, formerly co-stars in “The Music Man” on Broadway, were previously seen dining together in Santa Monica, California, on January 6.

Foster has expressed her gratitude for her friendship with Jackman since their collaboration, stating, “The best thing that’s happened out of this whole thing is that I’ve made a new friend, which you never anticipate.” She added, “He’s a dream and so kind and talented.”

Their blossoming romance follows recent divorces for both Jackman and Foster. Jackman separated from his wife of 27 years in September 2023, while Foster finalized her divorce in October 2024. Their relationship has garnered attention, particularly for the positivity that both individuals feel during this new chapter in their lives.

Foster, at the Drama Desk Awards in June 2024, praised Jackman, calling him “one of the greatest guys ever; an incredible co-star.”
