The appearance underscores their step from longtime Broadway colleagues to a fully public relationship.

Overview

  • Before they arrived, Jackman posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Off to the #METGALA2026 @suttonlenore,” giving a preview of their coordinated looks.
  • The outing drew online criticism from some social media users who called the move disrespectful to Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, a reaction shaped by the former couple’s long Met Gala history.
