The body language analysis comes mere months after Hugh Jackman finalized his divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood heavyweight Hugh Jackman<\/strong> is making headlines again \u2014 this time not for heartbreak, but for love.<\/em> On the glittering red carpet of the AFI Fest Closing Night Gala<\/em> on October 26, 2025<\/strong>, Jackman was spotted radiating happiness alongside Sutton Foster<\/strong>, his former Broadway co-star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event marked their official red carpet debut<\/strong> together at the premiere of \u201cSong Sung Blue,\u201d<\/em> and every glance, every grin, every subtle brush of the hand was dissected \u2014 frame by frame<\/em> \u2014 by body language expert Louise Mahler<\/strong>, who pulled no punches in her fascinating<\/em> analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Carpet Chemistry You Can\u2019t Fake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stepping out in full Hollywood glamor, Jackman, 57<\/strong>, looked every inch the leading man in a sleek black suit and matching tie<\/strong>, while Foster, 50<\/strong>, turned heads in a jaw-dropping,<\/em> low-cut black satin gown<\/strong> that clung to her figure with sultry elegance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her glossy brunette waves<\/strong> cascading effortlessly down her back and a sparkling black clutch<\/strong> in hand, Foster was the picture of red carpet perfection<\/em>. The two stood side by side like a couple plucked straight from a fairytale \u2014 poised, glowing, and entirely at ease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Couple Exuded Emotional Harmony: Expert Dissects Their Intimate Moments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mahler\u2019s expert eye caught it all: the mutual gaze, the synchronized laughter, and the genuine smiles<\/strong> that never left their faces. According to her, these aren\u2019t just Hollywood habits \u2014 they\u2019re signs of something deeper.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to the Daily Mail<\/em> about how loved-up and settled<\/em> in the spotlight the pair appeared, Mahler opined<\/u><\/a>, \u201cThey look so relaxed and happy,\u201d<\/strong> pointing to their unforced chemistry and closeness as telltale signs of emotional harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos from the event show Jackman with his arm wrapped securely around Foster, whom he kept close \u2014 a gesture Mahler noted as a positive indication of the strength of their relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple\u2019s easy affection and unforced warmth \u2014 captured in shot after shot<\/em> \u2014 painted a picture far from performative. Instead, what emerged was a portrait of two people savoring a shared moment, grounded in authenticity and mutual support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

$16.5 Million Mansion Hits the Market as Marriage Falters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The pair, parents to social media personality Olivia Jade<\/strong> and her sister Isabella Rose<\/strong>, are said<\/a> to be \u201cliving apart and taking a break from their marriage,\u201d<\/strong> according to Loughlin\u2019s representative, Elizabeth Much<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While no divorce papers have been filed<\/em>, the split comes on the heels of another major shift in their lives. The tworecently listed<\/em><\/a> their sprawling 11,800-square-foot Hidden Hills mansion<\/em> for $16.5 million<\/strong>, just five years after snapping it up for $9.5 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Love Story Born on a Chilly Thanksgiving Morning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a heartbreaking turn for a love story<\/a> that began almost three decades ago<\/strong>. In 1995, Giannulli, then known for his nights out in Los Angeles\u2019 glitzy party scene, crossed paths<\/strong> with Loughlin, who at 31 was riding high on the success of \u201cFull House.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their whirlwind romance quickly turned serious. After two years of dating<\/strong>, he stunned her with 500 roses before proposing<\/strong>. By Thanksgiving Day in 1997, they had eloped<\/strong>, exchanging vows at sunrise on a chilly Newport Beach hillside<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loughlin later recalled<\/a>, \u201cWe showed up in ski hats and sweatpants. It was cold, and the sun was coming up. It was beautiful.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the years that followed, the two appeared to settle into family life. They raised their daughters in a Laguna Beach bungalow<\/strong> while also embarking on new property ventures, including plans for a home in Bel Air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giannulli often described finding balance with his wife and children. He once reflected<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019ve got a great wife and great kids<\/strong>. I spend my days doing what I love. What\u2019s not to like?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, nearly three decades after that spontaneous elopement<\/em>, the pair\u2019s story has shifted into a new chapter<\/strong> \u2014 one marked not by togetherness, but by separation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wedding Date That Wasn\u2019t<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For years, Loughlin and Giannulli believed they had uncovered the secret to a lasting marriage<\/strong>, even if they had been celebrating their wedding on the wrong date<\/strong>. Loughlin only discovered the mix-up<\/a> years later during a dinner with Candace Cameron Bure<\/strong> and Marilu Henner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomehow we started talking about my elopement and I said, \u2018Yeah, we got up on Thanksgiving morning\u2019.<\/strong>.. We had Moss\u2019 best friend and a minister meet us, and we got married at sunrise, and then we went to Thanksgiving dinner, and we told everybody<\/strong>,\u201d the actress narrated<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they conversed during the dinner, Henner asked about her wedding date, and Loughlin mentioned November 25, 1997<\/strong>. Henner quickly corrected her, pointing out that November 25 had actually been a Tuesday, while Thanksgiving that year fell on November 27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was right! And on my marriage certificate, they had written Nov. 25, <\/strong>and that\u2019s what it says on my marriage license,\u201d Loughlin exclaimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing the mix-up, Loughlin called Giannulli to tell him they had been celebrating two days early all along.<\/em> She laughed about the discovery and noted that their actual anniversary fell on November 27, 1997.<\/strong> The actress joked that they might as well turn the occasion into a three-day festival going forward.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She later explained how their elopement<\/a> came to be. Since both she and Giannulli had previously been married, they felt it might be best to keep things simple the second time around.<\/em> Instead of planning a big wedding, they decided to quietly tie the knot<\/strong>, choosing to elope and share the news with family afterward<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Marriage That Seemed Unshakable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Loughlin also spoke more seriously about what sustained their relationship.<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s my guy, he\u2019s my person,\u201d<\/strong> she enthused<\/a>. The actress went ahead to share the qualities that ensured their marriage thrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s communicating, it\u2019s listening, it\u2019s picking and choosing your battles.<\/strong> It\u2019s being flexible,<\/strong> it\u2019s all of that. One day at a time, one step at a time,\u201d <\/strong>she noted<\/a>. The actress also believed in never sweating the small stuff<\/strong> and always making time for each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair regularly scheduled Friday <\/strong>dinner dates<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>as a way to reconnect, something she considered vital in maintaining closeness<\/strong>. Even after nearly two decades together, Loughlin had expressed pride in her marriage, convinced that she had entered it for the long haul<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She often emphasized that while marriage was hard work<\/a>, the rewards outweighed the challenges.<\/strong> Yet now, almost three decades after their hillside elopement, the marriage once upheld as unshakable has come to an end.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Picture-Perfect to Prison Sentences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Still, Giannulli and Lori Loughlin<\/a> have certainly weathered more than their fair share of storms.<\/em> In 2019, they found themselves at the center of the infamous <\/strong>college admissions scandal<\/strong><\/a> that made headlines around the world and put their family under an unforgiving spotlight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to court documents, the Giannullis agreed to pay $500,000 in bribes<\/strong> to secure their daughters\u2019 admission to the University of Southern California (USC).<\/strong> They did this by falsely presenting them as recruits to the USC crew team <\/strong>\u2014 even though neither girl participated in the sport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scheme cast a long shadow over the family\u2019s picture-perfect image. By May 2020, both Loughlin and Giannulli changed their <\/strong>pleas to guilty<\/strong><\/a>. The actress admitted to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, her husband pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud<\/strong> as well as honest services wire and mail fraud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August of that year, <\/em>the sentences<\/em><\/a> were handed down.<\/em> Loughlin was ordered to serve two months in prison<\/strong>, complete 100 hours of community service<\/strong>, and pay a $150,000 fine<\/strong>. Her husband faced a harsher penalty of five months behind bars<\/strong>, 250 hours of community service<\/strong>, and a $250,000 fine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loughlin reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin<\/strong>, California,<\/strong> on October 30, 2020,<\/strong> and was released in December<\/strong> after completing her sentence<\/a>. Mossimo Giannulli<\/a> began serving his term weeks later, reporting to the Federal Correctional Complex in Lompoc, California, on<\/strong> November 19.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lori Loughlin Outing with James Tupper<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, Loughlin was spotted out on Wednesday night, October 1,<\/strong> sharing dinner with actor James Tupper<\/strong>. This outing<\/a> happened just hours<\/strong> before confirmation <\/strong>came that she and Giannulli had separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality star was seen with the 60-year-old actor, who was previously in a long-term relationship with the late Anne Heche<\/strong>. The two appeared engaged in a deep conversation while dining<\/strong> at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the evening ended, they were photographed leaning in for <\/strong>a warm hug<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>as they waited for their cars at the valet. Tupper kept his look smart but relaxed in dark jeans, a white button-down shirt, and a matching jacket. <\/strong>Ever the gentleman, he walked Loughlin to the door of her vehicle before she headed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Loughlin, she embraced a casual yet polished ensemble. She wore wide-legged denim with a tailored black blazer<\/strong> and pointy-toed pumps, paired with a sleek black handbag. <\/strong>Her light brown hair was styled straight <\/strong>and left to fall naturally over her shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loughlin\u2019s representative explained<\/a> after the sighting, \u201cLori and James have worked together and are old friends<\/strong>.\u201d However, a representative for Tupper did not respond to a request for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
