And Hugh lauded his team’s achievements as he re-shared three posts confirming the nominations as he broke his social media silence.

This public appearance followed shortly after Hugh had confirmed his new relationship with Sutton, over a year after separating from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

Putting an end to months of rumors, Hugh and Sutton looked extremely happy during their date, laughing and holding hands.

Hugh and Sutton previously shared the stage on Broadway when the played the leads in an acclaimed production of the classic musical The Music Man back in 2022.

The friends then bonded over their individual marital struggles but didn’t strike up a romance until he was ‘out of the heartbreak of his relationship ending’.

They then finally decided to go public with their romance this week as they are no longer ‘interested in hiding their love’.

‘Enough time has passed for Hugh to stop playing games and hide his feelings and his relationship,’ an insider said. 

‘They both wanted to be considerate of their exes and anyone else that might be upset, but they aren’t interested in hiding.

‘Hugh’s close friends have seen a rejuvenated glow to him and that is all thanks to Sutton.’

Representatives for Hugh and Sutton have not immediately commented on their evening out together. 

However, Hugh’s ex-wife Deb, 69, was said to be ‘relieved’ when she saw the photographs of the pair, with insiders saying she can now finally move on. 

‘Deborra-Lee feels a sense of relief to be honest with you,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘She trusted her intuition and her intuition was right. She finally feels at ease after getting confirmation that her fears and suspicions were warranted. 

‘She can now fully close this chapter and move on.’

Deb was married to the Wolverine star for 27 years before they announced their shock split in September 2023.

‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a joint statement at the time.
