Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster were recently spotted kissing passionately for the first time since their secret relationship came to light.
The Wolverine actor, 56, and Broadway icon Foster, 49, appeared deeply in love as they kissed repeatedly 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 were engulfed in rumors of an affair before leaving their marriage – took their PDA session outside the car as they hugged and kissed after getting out of the car.
Jackman – who split from 27-year-old wife Deborra-lee Furness in September 2023 – hugged Foster as she caressed his face.
The actor looked casual in a black T-shirt and jeans, teaming it with glasses for the low-key outing, while Foster wore an oversized blouse and jeans.

Hugh and Furness announced in September 2023 that they were splitting after 27 years of marriage.
Their appearance comes after the Logan star attended a performance of Foster’s production of Once Upon A Mattress in Los Angeles this weekend and the pair were spotted holding hands during a date in Santa Monica.
The two stars had previously shared the stage on Broadway when they starred in a critically acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man.
Foster filed for an uncontested divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October last year.
She had been married to the 53-year-old screenwriter of Ocean for ten years.
Foster and Jackman have been inundated with rumors in recent months that an affair between the two has destroyed their marriage.
Fans had commented on how close they seemed to be in their off-stage interactions while appearing 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 her husband was “running off with the mistress” and was planning a “soft launch” of their relationship, according to Us Weekly.

A source told DailyMail.com in October that Furness had suspicions of an affair but was still “blindsided when she heard 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 report from RadarOnline, Furness was particularly upset about the behavior of Jackman’s close friend Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively, as they reportedly “remained silent” about the rumored affair.
“They were tight-lipped out of loyalty to Hugh,” a source claimed to the publication.
“Now seething with anger at being the last to know, Deb feels blindsided. She has a memory like a steel trap and is not afraid to use it.
“Debs feels betrayed by all three because someone could have told her what was going on and they all chose to remain silent,” she added.

Following Jackman and Furness’ split, the former couple shared a statement about their breakup.
“We are blessed to have had a beautiful, loving marriage together as husband and wife for nearly three decades. Our journey is now changing and we have decided to part ways to pursue our individual growth,” they announced.
“Our family is and will remain our highest priority,” they continued. “We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition throughout our lives.”
