This might just be Sutton Foster’s year, at least in terms of being highly searched for online. For anyone unfamiliar with who Foster is, beyond being romantically linked to Hugh Jackman, the actress starred in the TV series Younger, while also having roles in Bunheads and Ridley Jones. Of course, she might best be known for her Broadway roles, as she is a Tony Award winner for both Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes.

However, beyond her work, it seems that people are simply curious about who Sutton Foster is, at least based on a study conducted by Manly Brands. According to a press email we received, in Massachusetts alone, there are over 18,000 searches done monthly for Sutton Foster. Technically, the state is ranked second in terms of average searches for the actress behind Connecticut based on population.

Interestingly enough, she is also highly searched for in New York as well, where over 50,000 searches are done monthly for her name. But what does all of this mean? Well it seems like there is a lot of fascination over Foster, especially now that she has been linked to Jackman. Having a high profile partner can definitely increase interest in a person and that seems to be the case for Sutton Foster.

According to a spokesperson for Manly Brands, “The high search volumes suggest many Americans are fascinated by the relationship between Hugh Jackman and his Broadway co-star, Sutton Foster. With their undeniable chemistry both on and off stage, people are invested in this pairing and wondering if there’s more to their connection than just professional collaboration. The search interest could indicate that fans are speculating about whether an engagement might be on the cards for this beloved Broadway duo.”

It should be interesting to see how long the fascination over Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman lasts, especially if their relationship continues to grow. Will more people be searching for information on the actress or will this interest in who she is die down some?

As someone who was familiar with the actress from when she was on Younger, I can’t imagine being so fascinated by her relationship with Jackman that I would be searching online for news about them on a monthly basis. That being said, it is interesting to see how she has become so popular in the Google trends and I will be interested to see if this continued fascination impacts her career in some way.
