About this listen

 Hugh Jackman has made major headlines over the past few days with a string of personal and professional developments that continue to keep him firmly at the center of global celebrity news. The biggest breaking update came just yesterday, when Jackman officially announced a 12-show concert residency at New York’s legendary Radio City Music Hall. Titled From New York With Love, this highly anticipated musical event will open January 24, 2025, and is set to celebrate Jackman’s Broadway legacy, revisiting numbers from hits like The Boy From Oz, The Greatest Showman, and The Music Man, with teases of special surprises from his storied career. In a witty social media post filmed with his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds, Jackman reflected warmly on their blockbuster success—over $1 billion in global receipts—and good-naturedly declared Reynolds would not be joining him on stage for this one. The announcement itself dominated entertainment socials, and fans quickly began planning for what is being called Jackman’s biggest live performance project in five years, according to The Hollywood Reporter and Consequence Music.

Professionally, the actor’s popularity is riding high in the wake of Deadpool & Wolverine’s massive box office haul and the critical acclaim for his return as Wolverine after a seven-year hiatus. The pairing with Ryan Reynolds continues to attract intense media attention, and in turn is stoking the public’s interest in all things Jackman as Marvel-centric merchandise and references surge in the pop culture sphere.

Privately, Jackman has been navigating a period of dramatic transition. Just this week, People magazine verified that his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of nearly 30 years and mother of his two children, was finalized in June, though details only became public on Monday. The couple’s split, initially described as amicable, was recently recast in more painful terms by Furness, who told People of a traumatic journey of betrayal and described her feelings as a profound wound. Meanwhile Jackman has been openly supportive of their kids, and friends tell outlets like the Daily Mail that he is making the best of things and moving on with his life.

Romantically, Jackman’s new relationship with fellow Broadway star Sutton Foster is no longer just a rumor. Us Weekly and Cosmopolitan chronicle their evolving romance, revealing the two started as close co-stars and transitioned to a relationship, officially stepping out together this January. The pair reportedly spent time this summer vacationing in Massachusetts and are frequently spotted in New York, though friends say they’re not in a rush to move in together or tie the knot, preferring a steady, low-pressure approach as Jackman adapts to single life. Their chemistry has fueled a surge in gossip coverage, and an old tweet about cheating recently resurfaced on social media, igniting further commentary, though neither Jackman nor Foster have directly addressed the post.

Social media has been aflame with reactions to all of these news items, from concert anticipation to breakup fallout and new relationship speculation, making Jackman one of the most talked-about celebrities of the week. His story this week is a dramatic blend of professional triumph, personal reinvention, and the kind of Broadway-and-Hollywood narrative that rarely leaves the spotlight.
