Hugh Jackman was seen holding his girlfriend, Sutton Foster, close while swimming in the ocean in Costa Rica on January 3.

The couple were spotted exchanging tender gestures on a crowded beach at sunset, clearly enjoying each other’s company. This marks the first time the two stars have been photographed vacationing together since confirming their relationship. According to Page Six, the 57-year-old actor and the 50-year-old Broadway star were spending a romantic New Year getaway in the Central American country.

The X-Men star went shirtless, showing off his toned physique, while Foster—an acclaimed Broadway performer—flaunted her slim figure in a blue bikini.

Radiant and relaxed, the couple appeared happy as they unwound after a hectic end to the year. Jackman had recently been busy promoting his new film Song Sung Blue across several cities, while Foster had been occupied with performances and a packed schedule of public appearances.

Jackman and Foster went public with their relationship in January 2025, following months of rumors that the two had grown close while both were still married. They are believed to have quietly started their romance during their collaboration on the Broadway musical The Music Man. In September 2023, Jackman announced his separation from his wife, Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness, after 27 years of marriage. A year later, Foster also confirmed her divorce from screenwriter Ted Griffin.
