It seems Sutton Foster may want Hugh Jackman to slow down. The actress is said to be hoping for a quieter life away from the entertainment spotlight. The couple’s summer escape to North Carolina has given them a chance to step away from New York and enjoy a more relaxed routine. Now, an insider claims Foster would like the “Wolverine” star to carry some of that slower pace into their life together.
Sutton Foster reportedly wants Hugh Jackman to step back from Broadway for a quieter life
A RadarOnline insider claimed that being in the public eye has been stressful for Foster. The attention surrounding her relationship with Jackman has reportedly made life in New York feel particularly intense.
By contrast, the source said their time in North Carolina has felt like a welcome change. “Being away from the grind of New York and having a ‘normal’ life in North Carolina has been a real treat,” the insider said.
Now, Foster allegedly hopes that experience will influence their long-term lifestyle. According to the source, she is not asking Jackman to stop working altogether. Instead, she wants him to create more space for a private life outside the entertainment industry. “She’d love for him to build a life with her that’s much more grounded,” the insider claimed.
That could mean spending less time around Hollywood circles. The source said Foster enjoys the theater community but is less comfortable with Jackman’s frequent time around his movie-industry friends. “She’s madly in love with him but she really wishes they could have a more low-key life together,” the source added.
The couple already shares a connection to Broadway. They starred opposite each other in the revival of “The Music Man,” which began previews in 2021 and ran through January 2023. Their professional relationship later became the foundation of their romance.
Their current summer plans appear to offer a different kind of routine. Jackman has reportedly been spending time reading scripts, writing, and enjoying time outside with Foster. Meanwhile, Foster is said to have been busy with fitness classes in Wilmington. She previously shared a schedule for dance and cardio classes at a local studio.
