Hugh Jackman and his girlfriend Sutton Foster shared a playful moment as they arrived to LAX on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old actor – who finalized his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness in June – kept a lowkey profile as both he and the Tony Award-winning actress, 50, made their way through the bustling airport.
It comes just days after it was revealed that the Australian star’s ex-wife landed a book deal to pen a bombshell memoir following the pair’s split.
Hugh sported a short-sleeved blue shirt as well as a pair of black pants and comfy sneakers for the busy day of travel.
He placed a cap on top of his head while also carrying a black backpack over his shoulders.
Sutton – who is known for her roles in projects such as Shrek The Musical and Bunheads – opted for green sweatpants as well as a gray sweatshirt and mustard yellow cardigan.

At one point as the couple retrieved their luggage, the actress was seen flashing a big smile before humorously sticking her tongue out.
The two stars were also spotted holding a conversation as they awaited for a suitcase after touching down in Los Angeles.
Hugh and Sutton recently made their red carpet debut as a couple late last month at the premiere of his upcoming film Song Sung Blue during the 2025 AFI Fest in Hollywood.
The pair held big smiles on their faces as they posed for a brief photo session together and sweetly wrapped their arms around each other.
A few days before, Hugh and Sutton also attended Richard Marx’s After Hours Confessions event in NYC. They also made an appearance at the Fetch Pet Gala in the Big Apple last month.
At the time, a source told the Daily Mail: ‘Press and photographers were patiently waiting for Hugh and Sutton to make their big debut on the red carpet, but unfortunately, plans had changed last minute.
‘A lot of people who were made aware of their debut as a couple were left confused by why they had changed their minds.’
Sutton stepped onto the red carpet and was ‘glowing and in good spirits’ after arriving solo to the festivities, with Hugh making his own separate arrival later.

‘You can tell she was a bit overwhelmed by all the photographers that it might have been the reason why she did not do any interviews and did not bring Hugh to the carpet,’ the insider explained.
‘Hugh had snuck inside following the cocktail hour and was seated next to Sutton during the dinner portion of the evening. He was there to support her.’
Before striking up a romance, both Hugh and Sutton had been friends for many years – with their relationship confirmed in January of this year.
In 2022, the two co-starred in the production of The Music Man and she previously opened up about their friendship at the time.
‘The best thing that’s happened out of this whole thing is that I’ve made a new friend, which you never anticipate,’ Sutton told People.
‘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. He’s pretty fantastic. We’re having a really remarkable time – the whole company.’
It was recently revealed that Hugh’s ex-wife Deborra has landed a book deal to pen a memoir where she will get candid about her 27-year marriage to The Wolverine star as well as their split.
A source told Woman’s Day Magazine, ‘Hugh had heard about Deb’s plans but he didn’t really know until she told him herself during their secret meet–up.

‘He’d been warned early on that almost every A-list divorcee is approached to write a book but part of him hoped Deb wouldn’t take that fat publisher’s cheque.’
The insider told the outlet that the book is not ‘revenge’ but instead a way for Deborra to reignite her career and find her own voice.
She reportedly turned down the opportunity to write a memoir initially but eventually changed her mind, in the hopes that the experience could be ‘cathartic.’
Last month in October, RadarOnline claimed that Hugh and Deborra have begun to repair their friendship following the separation.
‘Hugh has been trying to make peace with Debs for a long while now, but as you can imagine, it has taken her time to feel ready,’ a source told the outlet.
‘Settling all the legal stuff seems to have helped because she’s finally coming around – they’ve gotten together a couple of times in New York recently to talk things out.’
The insider added, ‘By all accounts things have improved dramatically, which is fantastic for everyone, most of all their kids.
‘It’s been two years now since they officially separated. It really is time to let the hatred and anger go.’

Deborra previously reflected on the end of her marriage to Hugh and labeled it as a ‘traumatic betrayal’ that ‘cut deep.’
Their divorce was finalized in June of this year – just one month after the filing.
‘A settlement was reached that Deborra is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,’ a separate source told the Daily Mail.
‘There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.
‘There is not going to be any drama with this – it gives closure that she needed.’
