Hugh Jackman was photographed holding hands with Sutton Foster during a date night in Santa Monica, California.

The couple’s first display of PDA comes two months after Page Six exclusively revealed their secret romance.

An eyewitness tells Us that Jackman, 56, and Foster, 49, were “holding hands” on Monday before a paparazzo “jumped out and took a few shots” of them before running off.

The “Younger” alum was bundled up in a gray turtleneck dress, a tan peacoat and black heels during the outing.

The “Greatest Showman” star, for his part, paired a blue knit shirt and black jacket with white jeans as he and Foster chatted and smiled during their night out.

Jackman was previously married to Deborra-Lee Furness.

The former couple, who married in April 1996 and share two children, released a joint statement announcing their split in September 2023.

“We have been blessed to share nearly three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” they said at the time. “Our journey now changes and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth.”

In October of the following year, Page Six reported that Foster and her husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin, had also called it quits, and multiple sources told Us that she and her “Music Man” co-star were “in love.”

An insider said that Jackman and Foster were “100 percent together and … and want to spend the rest of their lives together.”

Another source insisted the romance was “public knowledge”, despite the couple initially staying out of the limelight.

One of Furness’ friends, meanwhile, claimed rumors of an affair were “on point” in a November 2024 Instagram comment.

Amanda de Cadenet wrote: “My dear friend Deb is about to light her up, anytime FYI!”

Furness, 69, particularly “liked” the social media upload – which also claimed Jackman had “blindsided” her and was “up to something good” – from a private Instagram account.

The actor’s head-turning PDA with Foster comes on the heels of him supporting his new partner at her “Once Upon a Mattress” production on Saturday.
