Sutton Foster recently celebrated a significant milestone as she turned 50 years old on March 18. The talented actress and singer marked the occasion by sharing a makeup-free selfie from the beach on her Instagram account. In the photo, she wore a casual dark gray pullover and a delicate silver necklace, with a stunning sunset and ocean waves as her backdrop. Although she chose to turn off comments on the post, many fans, including celebrities like Ariana Grande and Mandy Moore, showed their support by liking the image.
This year is shaping up to be quite eventful for Foster. She has landed a prominent role as the late country music legend Loretta Lynn in the upcoming Broadway adaptation of "Coal Miner’s Daughter." Additionally, she will be the narrator for a new series of audiobooks featuring "Pippi Longstocking," which is sure to delight fans of the classic character.
On a personal note, Foster’s life has also been in the spotlight. After her divorce from husband Ted Griffin in October 2024, she has been linked romantically to actor Hugh Jackman. The two were first seen together holding hands during a date night in Santa Monica, California, after Jackman attended one of Foster’s performances in "Once Upon a Mattress." Their relationship has sparked considerable public interest, especially following Jackman’s split from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, after 27 years of marriage.
As Foster embarks on this new chapter in her life, fans are eager to see how she will celebrate her 50th birthday and what the future holds for both her career and her blossoming romance with Jackman.
