Aussie hunk Hugh Jackman has continued his low-key tour of Sydney with girlfriend Sutton Foster in the New York residents’ first visit to Australia as a couple.

The Wolverine star, 58, was spotted emerging from the surf this week in his former home of Bondi, with his superhero-like physique on full display.

Jackman and theatre actress Foster, 51, enjoyed a morning in the affluent seaside neighbourhood, stopping for breakfast and sharing a street-side kiss.

Touching down on Tuesday, Jackman has faced scrutiny for welcoming Foster back to the $15 million Bondi penthouse he retained in his divorce from wife of 27 years, Deborra-Lee Furness.

The loved-up Bondi visitors were snapped overlooking the suburb from the apartment’s balcony before enjoying a romantic afternoon.

Jackman and Furness announced their split in September 2023, with the Greatest Showman actor first romantically linked with Foster in January 2025.

Foster had also recently split from husband of 10 years, Ted Griffin.

The Bondi visitors met more than two decades ago, with early sightings pinning them together as early as 2003.

The couple’s friendship reportedly became something more between 2021 and 2023 when they co-starred on Broadway’s The Music Man.
