Sutton attended the glamorous Sunday event, marking her first red carpet-appearance since Deborra-Lee released an emotional statement about the “traumatic journey of betrayal.”

The 50-year-old Broadway star was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical alongside Audra McDonald, Darren Criss, Jasmine Amy Rogers, Tom Francis, Jonathan Groff, Nicole Scherzinger, and others.

Dressed in a sleek black gown, Sutton was seen posing with her Once Upon a Mattress co-star Michael Urie.

Most stars stopped to chat with reporters and participated in red-carpet interviews, including Nicole, Debra Messing, and Sarah Hyland.

But Sutton visibly kept a low profile as her relationship with the Australian heartthrob continued to make headlines.

Sutton has reportedly been “very supportive” of Hugh, who was taken “by surprise” by the recent statement put out by his estranged wife.

“He is still with Sutton, and they are trying to navigate this delicately,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She has been very supportive.”

Sutton, who filed for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin in October 2024 after nearly 10 years of marriage, was reportedly seen moving her belongings to the Marvel star’s New York City penthouse apartment.

“Of course, they’re living together; they’re inseparable. She’s slowly migrating her things over to Hugh’s place,” a source told Australian outlet New Idea.

It was reportedly the same penthouse he bought with Deborra-Lee in 2022.

Comment from Col Huxtable reacting to Hugh Jackman's darling Sutton Foster breaking cover after 17-year history was discovered.

A source claimed Deborra-Lee was “shattered” because she had “poured her heart into” the swanky penthouse that Sutton is now apparently moving into.

“This was their ultimate family dream home, and a space that was meant to reboot their marriage,” the source claimed. “A year later, they would be filing for divorce.”

A source told Us Weekly that Hugh and Deborra-Lee currently have a “complicated” and “strained” relationship.

They “see things differently in terms of how things came to an end for them.”

Deborra-Lee reportedly believed the Deadpool & Wolverine star was having an “emotional affair” with his Music Man co-star.

Hugh and Sutton were reportedly friends for a long time before striking up a romance with each other.

Resurfaced images showed them hugging backstage in 2008 at a showing of Shrek the Musical in New York City. The Greatest Showman actor was married to Deborra-Lee at the time, and Sutton was married to her first husband, actor Christian Borle.

Hugh also shared a dance at the Tony Awards with Sutton and other nominees in 2014.

Comment by Jannece Cassidy discussing Hugh Jackman’s appearance and personal life opinions in a social media post.

It is believed Hugh and Sutton grew close when they starred in the Broadway revival of Music Man, which ran from December 2021 to January 2023.

An insider previously told the Daily Mail that Hugh and Sutton would share a “long embrace” backstage “every night.”

“It was odd,” they told the outlet. “In a way, it was uncomfortable. As the entire cast is trying to get to their dressing rooms upstairs, we all had to pass the two of them hugging.”

“They didn’t even hide it! It was a long embrace… and it was weird,” an insider said about Hugh and Sutton’s behavior backstage

“My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal,” she told the Daily Mail after officially filing for divorce.

“It’s a profound wound that cuts deep, however I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us,” she added.

“This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage.”

The former couple initially had some back and forth regarding their settlement, but Deborra-Lee was eventually pleased with the spousal support payment, sources claimed.

Their high-profile divorce came after they spent about 27 years married to each other.

They tied the knot in 1996 and welcomed son Oscar and daughter Ava over the years.
