Fox News Flash top entertainment and celebrity headlines are here.

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are walking into 2025 hand-in-hand. 

On Monday, the former "Music Man" costars enjoyed a night out together in Santa Monica, California. The pair – who have been at the center of romance rumors – seemingly confirmed their relationship as they held hands during their stroll. One day prior, the Marvel star reportedly attended one of the final performances of Foster's "Once Upon a Mattress" in Los Angeles, according to People. 

Jackman and Foster costarred in "Music Man," which ran on Broadway from December 2021 to January 2023. During their time promoting the musical, the two often publicly supported one another while praising each other's performances and work ethic.

"He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar," Foster told People at the 2024 Drama Desk Awards last year. 

The romantic outing comes months after the Tony Award-winning actress filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin, a screenwriter, in October.

However, Furness told the outlet she was "grateful" it presented her an opportunity for personal growth.

Furness shared that leaning on friends has helped her through difficult times, including her separation from Jackman.

"I say this to all women – your girlfriends are a necessity in life," Furness said.

Furness and Jackman, who is also from Australia, first met in 1995 on the set of the 10-part Australian TV series "Corelli."
