The two have been romantically linked since January 2025, though they first became friends in the early 2000s while they were both on the Broadway musical scene.
In 2019, Jackman and Foster were announced as the leads in the Broadway revival of The Music Man. However, delays caused by COVID led their performances to be postponed until 2022.

“The best thing that’s happened out of this whole thing is that I’ve made a new friend, which you never anticipate,” she told PEOPLE of her friendship with the X-Men star after the show’s opening night in May 2022.
“We always joke that after 40, you don’t really make new friends! He’s a dream and so kind and talented and is even more generous,” she added. “He’s pretty fantastic.”
January marked the first time the two were seen in public as they sparked romance rumors while holding hands for a walk while out for dinner in Santa Monica, Calif.
In August, a source told PEOPLE that Jackman and Foster are still “going strong” and have built a “good foundation.”
Before going public with Foster, The Greatest Showman actor was married to Deborra-lee Furness. The former couple met on the set of the Australian TV series Correlli and wed on April 11, 1996.
