Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster displayed their affectionate side during a romantic beach day, appearing more connected than ever.
The couple was spotted in the ocean, sharing tender embraces and laughing together as waves rolled in, while enjoying a getaway in Costa Rica.
In one sweet moment, Jackman wrapped his arms around Foster, and in another, he held her from behind as she reacted to the chilly water.
Foster flaunted her fit physique in a navy blue bikini, while Jackman sported patterned swim trunks, both basking in the sunset during their intimate seaside walk.
Later, the pair strolled barefoot along the shoreline, looking relaxed and perfectly in harmony with each other.
This affectionate outing follows recent reports suggesting the Broadway star was feeling ‘mad with jealousy’ due to his strong on-screen chemistry with Kate Hudson.
Earlier this week, Radar Online reported that Foster, 50, has struggled with Jackman’s close bond with Hudson, 46, his co-star in the upcoming film Song Sung Blue.

Sources told the outlet that Foster was ‘mad with jealousy’ over the pair’s chemistry.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Foster, Jackman and Hudson for comment.
Jackman and Foster have been going strong since confirming their romance earlier this year in January.
Their relationship emerged amid Jackman’s split from his wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, with the former couple officially finalizing their separation in June 2025.
Meanwhile, Hudson, who has been in a long-term relationship with musician Danny Fujikawa since 2016, stars opposite Jackman in Song Sung Blue, where the pair play two musicians who fall in love while bonding over their shared passion for Neil Diamond.
According to Radar Online insiders, Jackman and Hudson reportedly grew close while filming and even joked about feeling like a married couple.
One source claimed: ‘The first thing people may wonder when they see Song Sung Blue is, “Hey, why isn’t Sutton Foster in this movie with Hugh?” She’s the right age, she has the right look, and, unlike Kate Hudson, she’s actually an accomplished singer.’
The insider added: ‘But the vision for this project required that Hugh star opposite someone who is equally famous, and that disqualified Sutton.’

While Jackman and Hudson are said to be just good friends, the source warned that the film’s promotional tour could intensify the strain.
‘With a big promotional tour ahead for Hugh and Kate, it’s only going to get worse for Sutton, even if Hugh doesn’t see what all the fuss is about,’ they said.
However, signs of tension appeared to ease earlier this month at the Song Sung Blue premiere, where an onlooker claimed Foster and Hudson were seen being ‘friendly’ and even ‘sharing a heartwarming moment’ together.
Jackman and Foster first made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 AFI Fest in Hollywood last October, and their latest beachside PDA suggests the pair are determined to put any rumors of jealousy firmly behind them.

Meanwhile, a new report from New Idea magazine claims that recent ‘peace talks’ between Jackman and Furness are said to have dramatically ended after she became upset over his recent public displays of affection with the Younger star.
An insider told the outlet, ‘Hugh and Sutton are everywhere right now – red carpets, concerts, even cuddling in the street.
‘It’s like he’s taken their truce as a green light to bring Sutton front and centre of his world – and it’s putting pressure on Deb that she’s not ready to deal with.’
The source added it had been particularly difficult for Furness to see her ex introduce his girlfriend to all their Aussie mates in New York last week when they went to an Australian pub with Hudson.

Both Jackman and Foster posted footage of the father-of-two singing Sweet Caroline with Hudson during a karaoke session, after attending the Gotham Awards together.
‘That’s hard for Deb to see, even two years after they split. They’re all her old friends too… to hear they were all singing Sweet Caroline together is just too much. She feels like she’s being rubbed out by people she was really close to,’ the insider revealed.
The outlet also claims that Jackman’s plans to bring Foster to Australia over the Christmas holidays was the final straw for his ex-wife.
‘He’s out of his mind. Deb agreed to a truce last October hoping for a peaceful family Christmas that the kids can enjoy. She can’t win,’ they added.
‘Hugh’s expecting way too much and Deb has made it crystal clear she doesn’t want the Hugh and Sutton snog show anywhere near her.’
