Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster have kept a relatively low profile since they went public with their romance in January, but a recent sighting has a body language expert offering some curious insight.
The duo was spotted working together at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, where Foster is a visiting instructor for the College of Fine Arts, Department of Theatre and Dance. They shared their knowledge of singing, drama, and dance to the students, but body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail that it looks like Jackman is “longing for more public clarity” as a couple.

James studied the video posted by Foster on Oct. 7, along with several snapshots posted by the college students. She believes that they look more “like a professional couple” because their body language “veers clear of any romantic signals.” Of course, they were in a professional setting, but in one image, he places his hand over hers while she stares at the camera lens.
“As they pose in the group with the students, Hugh tilts his head towards Sutton’s. It suggests a literal nod to their status as a couple, but it looks very much like his own individual upgrade ritual, which hints at a possible desire for closeness and togetherness,” she explained. “It appears spontaneous from him, but it’s not reciprocated by her, suggesting he’s longing for more public clarity when it comes to their status as a couple.”
That insight might track because a source for New Idea claimed in September that there’s still some hesitation on Foster’s part. “Sutton is still nervous about taking that big step into Hugh’s world….[It’s] terrifying for her,” the insider shared.
“She likes her life treading the boards – this type of fame is next level,” they continued. “She’s also worried about how it affects her daughter, and has been putting off her next step into the A-list spotlight because of her.”
Jackman will likely have to answer some questions about his love life soon because his next big film, Song Sung Blue, is premiering at the AFI Fest on Oct. 26 in Los Angeles. Not only is it an opportunity for them to make their red carpet debut as a couple, but the film is also being whispered about for the award show season.
Foster might have to get over her fear of Jackman’s A-list fame very quickly because the PR machine is headed their way fast.
