Days before their tenth wedding anniversary, the 49-year-old actress filed for an uncontested divorce from Ted Griffin on Tuesday, as we previously reported.

What took place? Hugh did. Following their roles in the Music Man revival from December 2021 to January 2023, there were speculations of a romance between Sutton and the 56-year-old actor. After they grew close while working on the Broadway show and while they were still married, InTouch revealed in December 2023 that Hugh was “romancing” Sutton.

Additionally, sources previously informed Page Six that the co-stars became “in love” after connecting during The Music Man. They’re also serious! They “want to spend the rest of their lives together,” the insider stated at the time. Whoa! The problem with all of this is this. It’s not just Sutton who is going through a breakup! After 27 years of marriage, Hugh and Deborra-Lee Furness filed for divorce in September 2023. According to reports, they had relationship problems throughout the SAG strike and COVID. However, the divorce might have had a more sensational cause.

Now, we’re getting more insight into The Greatest Showman star’s relationship with Sutton. An insider told Page Six on Thursday that the “in love” couple have been keeping their romance a secret from the public but have been inseparable:

“They spend all of their free time together. They are a regular couple, they are just in private.”

In order to keep their relationship under wraps, the source noted that “they sneak around.” That said, Hugh made it a point to break their cover and see Sutton in her latest show, Once Upon A Mattress, two months ago.

Their efforts to remain under the radar have obviously fallen short! According to reports, their relationship is “common knowledge.” In addition, there have been romance rumors going around for months. Hugh and Sutton aren’t the best at keeping this a secret, then! Naturally, her divorce just increased the conversation about the relationship! We don’t anticipate seeing the two walk the red carpet together anytime soon, though, simply because the secret is now completely out. Not when they’re so determined to keep things “private.”
