Hugh Jackman is reportedly planning to marry his girlfriend Sutton Foster after he finalises his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.
The Hollywood star, 56, went public with his Broadway co-star last month, almost two years after confirming his split from his wife of 27 years.
A source close to the Wolverine star has now revealed his plans to marry Sutton.
‘Hugh had a lot of back and forth while he was in Australia for the holidays but ultimately, he realised how much he missed her,’ an insider told Sky News.
‘The magic came flooding back when they reunited and ultimately marriage is the end game for these two.
‘Hugh is clear he wants to make Sutton his wife.’

DailyMail.com revealed last month the Hugh and Deborra-Lee have yet to file for divorce as their decision to dismiss a prenup is proving to be a point of contention.
Insiders claim their split could get ‘messy’ as they struggle to divvy up their estimated $250 million fortune.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee announced the end of their marriage in a shock statement in September 2023, telling fans that they were ‘shifting’ and as a result had decided to ‘separate to pursue our individual growth’.
‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a joint statement.
‘Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.’
Hugh and Deborra-Lee met back in 1995 on Australian TV show Correlli, when she was a major star, and he was enjoying his first role fresh out of drama school.
He proposed four months later, telling Today in 2018 that he knew two weeks into meeting Deborra-Lee that they were ‘going to be together for the rest of our lives.’
They were married in Melbourne, Australia, in April 1996 before adopting their son Oscar, now 24, in 2000. Five years later they completed their family unit when they adopted daughter Ava, 19.

Since tying the knot, Hugh has amassed an eye watering fortune, estimated to be around $200 million, thanks to his turn as Wolverine in Marvel’s blockbuster comic book franchise.
He retired the role in Logan in 2017 before reprising the character – and hijacking the box office – last year with Deadpool and Wolverine alongside his close friend Ryan Reynolds.
Hugh has also enjoyed a number of Broadway roles, earned critical acclaim for Oscar-nominated films including Les Miserables and The Prestige, and has built up a healthy property empire with Furness.
The couple bought their first apartment together for $240,000 AUD in 1997, a year after they married.
They sold the two-bedroom property for $740,000 AUD in August 2015, earning themselves a tidy profit of half a million dollars.
The pair bought a three-storey apartment in the Meier Towers building in New York City’s West Village in 2008 for $21 million. They listed the five-bedroom ‘triplex’ for $38.9 million in 2022. It is unclear if it has sold.
They currently own a $3.5 million, 2.5 acre property in East Hampton, New York, which they reportedly rent out for $166,666 per month, a $5.9 million Bondi beach house in Sydney, Australia, and a $21 million penthouse in Manhattan’s affluent Chelsea neighbourhood, which they bought one year before they split.
The division of assets is also complicated by the fact the duo are ‘no longer friends’.

Meanwhile, Sutton filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin in October.
The Tony-winning Broadway star and the Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter, 53, split after 10 years of marriage, according to Page Six.
The Younger actress filed for uncontested divorce in New York County Supreme Court.
Sutton and Hugh went public with their relationship last month after they were seen locking lips beside their car at an In-N-Out burger restaurant in San Fernando, Los Angeles.
They have been beset in recent months by rumours that an affair between the two scuttled their marriages.
