A body language expert has weighed in on rumours of a romance between Hugh Jackman and his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster.
Speculation about the pair reached fever pitch this week after it emerged that she’s split from her husband.
Tony-winning Sutton, 49, filed for uncontested divorce from her screenwriter husband Ted Griffin, 53, in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, gossip column Page Six reports.
Hugh, 56, and Sutton starred in The Music Man on Broadway together in 2022, a year before he announced his split from wife Deborra-Lee Furness after 27 years of marriage.
A number of sources told Page Six that Foster and Jackman ‘have fallen in love’.
Indeed, they appeared close when they posed on the red carpet at the Annual Tony Awards in June 2022.
The actress couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she leant closely to Hugh, who wrapped his arms around him.
Body language expert Louise Mahler told Daily Mail Australia on Friday things between Hugh and Sutton ‘could be serious’.

‘They are laughing. It’s so special and so gorgeous. This could be serious,’ she added.
It comes after insiders claimed the pair had ‘fallen in love’.
‘They are 100 per cent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,’ an insider previously told Page Six.
The publication also claimed the pair are going strong, but have been keeping the relationship out of the public eye, according to sources.
‘They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge,’ the source added.

In 2021 she shared her thoughts about staring a family with her second husband.
The star said she ‘was always on the fence about whether I even wanted to have children,’ in an essay for People.
‘I was always very career-driven, and I had such a tricky relationship growing up with my own mom… It was never clear cut for me. I married in my 30s; it didn’t last, but one thing it did give me was this little inkling that I wanted to maybe have a family,’ she added.
However, when she met Griffin, her view on family changed.
‘When I met my husband, it was the first time that I finally went, ‘Oh, I get it. I understand why people have families’,’ she wrote.
The former pair share two adopted children together, son Oscar, 24, and daughter Ava, 19.
