Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster were seen passionately kissing for the first time recently since their secret relationship was exposed.
The Wolverine actor, 56, and Broadway icon Foster, 49, looked deeply in love and couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they repeatedly kissed while in the car at a San Fernando In-N-Out.
Foster was seen tenderly cradling Jackman’s face as they locked lips while waiting to order the fast food in the drive-thru line – days before the LA fires broke out.
The new couple – who have been swarmed by rumors of conducting an affair before exiting their marriages – took their PDA session outside of the car as they embraced and kissed after exiting the vehicle.
Jackman – who split from wife of 27 years Deborra-lee Furness in September 2023, embraced Foster as she stroked his face.
The actor cut a casual figure in a black tee and jeans, paired with spectacles for the low-key outing, while Foster wore an oversize blouse and jeans.

Foster and Jackman have been swarmed in recent months by rumors that an affair between the two scuttled their marriages.
Fans had remarked on how close they appeared to be in their off-stage interactions while they appeared together in The Music Man.
Furness seemed to lend credence to the rumors when she liked an Instagram post in October from a gossip blogger who claimed that her husband was ‘running off with the mistress’ and planning a ‘soft launch’ of their relationship, according to Us Weekly.

A source told DailyMail.com in October that Furness had her suspicions of an affair, but she was still ‘blindsided when she found out about the affair.’
They described the alleged affair as ‘Broadway’s worst-kept secret,’ adding that ‘Deborra-Lee was the last to know.’
According to a RadarOnline report, Furness was particularly upset over the behavior of Jackman’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively because they allegedly ‘kept quiet’ about the rumored affair.
‘They kept their lips sealed out of loyalty to Hugh,’ a source claimed to the publication.
‘Now she is seething with rage over being the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and isn’t afraid to use it.
‘Debs feels cheated by all three because someone could have told her what was happening and they all chose to keep their mouths shut,’ they added.
