Hugh Jackman and his American girlfriend Sutton Foster appear to have made their first public appearance in months, spotted arriving together at a New York airport on Sunday.

It’s believed Jackman, 57, has been attempting to mend his relationship with ex-wife Deborah Lee-Furness after their split two years ago, and has been hoping to avoid his current relationship continuing to surface publicly.

Casually dressed and on the move, the Wolverine star sported sneakers, casual pants and a long-sleeve shirt as he wheeled a suitcase., shielding his identity with a cap and face mask.

While Broadway actor Foster, 50, shadowed her man in a mustard cardigan, ankle-high Uggs, and a backpack.

The pair each later posted images of the change in season to their respective Instagram accounts to announce their return home.

Jackman pinned himself at Central Park while appreciating the Autumnal leaves of “Mother Nature”, while Foster posted an image of a rainbow arching over tall trees on a windy road.

An insider told Radar Online earlier this month that Jackman and Furness — his ex-wife of 30 years — had been working through the legalities of their split which had aided in building a bridge between the pair.

“It’s been two years now since they officially separated and it really is time to let the hatred and anger go,” the insider said.

“Hugh has been trying to make peace with Debs for a long while now, but as you can imagine, it has taken her time to feel ready.

“Settling all the legal stuff seems to have helped because she’s finally coming around – they’ve gotten together a couple of times in New York recently to talk things out, and by all accounts things have improved dramatically, which is fantastic for everyone, most of all their kids.”

Meanwhile, reports have emerged that Furness has leaned on old mate Nicole Kidman, who has endured a high-profile split of her own following her separation from Keith Urban after 20 years together.

It comes as a source believed to have known Kidman for decades revealed the Oscar-winner would reunite with the country singer should he come knocking.

“She would get back with him in a heartbeat,” the source told Daily Mail.

The insider also claimed the pair were on the path to “getting it back together” while mending issues in their marriage, until Urban called it quits.
