The news cycle has been handing these two favor after favor after favor

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have not confirmed or denied that they are dating, but they are kissing in a car.

I saw them in The Music Man and thought they had great chemistry. I wish I could say I knew something was up, but I just thought they were having a great time and working well together.

The only "real" moment I saw was in the finale they were dancing around and singing and he put his hat on backwards, which she noticed, pointed out to him while laughing and he fixed it while also laughing. It was cute

I mean, the timing of it is really beneficial to them. So much else is happening and parts of the world are literally on fire so I feel like these two are just gonna slide into coupledom with very little fanfare.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

I’m feeling very judgy about this.

allieiswriting.bsky.social•136 days ago

I’ve kind of thrown my hands up at it and am leaning into the publicity case study of it all

kaytaylorrea.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yeah, same. It’s very weird that Foster is basically getting a pass for having one of the industry’s most public records of repeated infidelity by an actress with her costars.

allieiswriting.bsky.social•136 days ago

That part! Talented. Funny. Always at the scene of the infidelity.

i am clearly unaware of anything that led to the responses in this thread so if anyone wants to share i seriously need a distraction from *waves at everything

broadway tea is frequently hilariously dramatic because they're all just Like That

theinfophile.bsky.social•136 days ago

Broadway tea is my favorite flavor of tea 👀

/butts in/ especially after she divorced her first husband (Christian Borle) for reportedly having an affair with his costar.

kaytaylorrea.bsky.social•136 days ago

and then (for legal purposes, everything here is ~allegedly~ lol) she had an affair with HER costar in revenge, so this new instance is at least a second instance of cheating on a spouse with one of her costars

kaytaylorrea.bsky.social•136 days ago

I'm also just kind of fascinated by wtf her type is now that she's dating Hugh because previous it just seemed to be incredibly average looking white man in the entertainment industry lol

authoremmabarry.bsky.social•136 days ago

yeah, it was MESSY even by theatre kid standards...which are bananas standards, lol

authoremmabarry.bsky.social•136 days ago

the Broadway sites I follow have been very giggly about it, but it hasn't spilled over into the mainstream celeb coverage.

christinewhenkle.bsky.social•136 days ago

...Christian Borle was married to her? How did I not know this?

authoremmabarry.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yup. He apparently had an affair with Laura Bell Bundy, his Broadway costar in Legally Blonde. It was very dishy in like 2008.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

It’s fascinating to watch PR folks shape a narrative in real time.

nmgski.bsky.social•136 days ago

Curious … what would be an acceptable time after you divorce to start dating? He and Deborah divorced in Sept of 2023.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

It’s the dating before he left his wife that’s problematic.

nmgski.bsky.social•136 days ago

Ahhh … I know very little about him .. just remembered his divorce making the news and people being shocked.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yeah, the affair was apparently a well-known “secret” and now the PR folks are rolling them out as a couple since Time Has Passed. Fascinating to watch.

A room full of expensive PR folks and a big cheque can conjure the most fascinating tales.

roxling.bsky.social•136 days ago

Ah ha! I was unaware. Now I get it.

annaguirre.bsky.social•136 days ago

I feel really sad. It's just so... typical of him.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

Such a cliche.

annaguirre.bsky.social•136 days ago

Exactly this. I feel bad for Deborah.

deannaraybourn.bsky.social•136 days ago

Right?? Ugh.

juliaedits.bsky.social•136 days ago

Now I'm interrogating my own response because honestly I'm a musical theater person and yes I do love the idea of Harold Hill and Marian Paroo ending up together irl?!? 😬

allieiswriting.bsky.social•136 days ago

lol, don’t feel bad. it’s not our lives

juliaedits.bsky.social•136 days ago

Ok I just went to the daily mail (yuck) to look at the pictures of them kissing in the car and it's very clear they're at the In n Out in Van Nuys and that is so deeply, absurdly normal—I have probably kissed my own husband in a car in that drive-thru line—that I have no choice but to love them. ;)
