A body language expert has alleged that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster‘s romance isn’t the real deal and that the pair lack ‘passion’.
The Hollywood heavyweights recently sparked romance speculations after previously starring in Broadway’s The Music Man together.
Despite the 56-year-old having called Sutton, 49, a ‘dream’, the talented duo look to be nothing more than coworkers, according to gesture analyst Judi James.
While speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Judi revealed that there are ‘no signs of suppressed passion’ between them.
She admitted that Sutton – who recently filed for divorce and has been reportedly spending ‘all of her free time’ with Hugh – seemed to avoid close touches with the Greatest Showman star in the past.

A body language expert has admitted that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster ‘s (seen in 2022) romance isn’t the real deal as the pair lack ‘passion
Despite having showcased their musical talents on stage together from 2022 to 2023, the longtime pals have now become the center of romance rumors.
Snaps of them walking the red carpet together have resurfaced as fans are begging to know whether the A-listers’ love will last.
The body language expert has seemingly put the rumors to rest as she revealed what their frequent glances really mean.
She told DailyMail.com: ‘In terms of relationship signals the body language here looks non-committal.
‘There are some overkill rituals that suggest a desire to create some form of an announcement to hint or to launch them as an authentic couple but there are no subtle tie-signs that signal this is more than just a working relationship.’
Judi claimed that the couple is putting on a show for the cameras as she branded them just ‘co-stars.’
The expert also noted that the rumored couple seemed to have no sexual tension between them.
‘The smiles appear when the cameras start snapping. The touch rituals look formal despite the cute posturing. There are displays of coyness that could imply a relationship but no sexual touches or glances in this clip.

‘Hugh looks keen to suggest some closeness, but the body language is not well synchronized here. He moves to clasp her hand and she moves away. Their eyes meet in a glance but there are no signs of suppressed passion,’ Judi added.
Although they look ‘happy’ together, Judi noted that this could be a sign of friendship and nothing more.
She told DailyMail.com: ‘They look happy together and there seems to be an attempt to define them as a couple here. Judging from the body language here they could just be co-stars plugging a movie together.’
Hugh is rumored to be dating his Broadway co-star now that they are both divorcing their respective partners and are ‘in love’ with each other.
Sources told Page Six that the Hollywood stars are reportedly keeping their relationship private amid ongoing rumors.
‘They spend all of their free time together,’ an insider claimed. ‘They are a regular couple, they are just in private.’
Rumors of a love affair comes just days after the brunette beauty filed for divorce from her husband, Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage.
Sutton and Ted share one child, seven-year-old daughter Emily, whom they adopted in 2017.

Since their split and prior to her divorce filing, she and Hugh have reportedly been spending more time together in private and have been ‘inseparable,’ the insider claimed.
The source added that the pair keep a low profile and ‘sneak around.’
Speculation about the couple’s relationship first began in Broadway circles while the pair starred in The Music Man together.
For over a year, they worked together in the Broadway show, which ran from December 2021 to January 2023.
A number of sources told the outlet that the Broadway stars ‘have fallen in love.’
‘They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,’ an insider previously told the publication.
The pair are reportedly going strong, but have been keeping the relationship out of the public eye, according to sources.
Following romance rumors, a 2022 interview resurfaced, showing Hugh branding Sutton a ‘dream.’
It comes just one year after Hugh and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness called it quits after nearly three decades together.
