Sesame Street star Sutton Foster and her husband Ted Griffin are getting separated after being together for around ten years. The former is known for her performances in shows such as Bunheads and Mad Dogs. Foster's net worth currently stands at $4 million, as per CelebrityNetWorth.
Foster approached the New York County Supreme Court on October 22, 2024, for divorce. Notably, the pair were supposed to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary three days later, as per Us Weekly.
Ted is active in the same field as his wife and has worked as a screenwriter for projects like Ocean's Eleven and Matchstick Men. Furthermore, he is also a close friend of director Martin Scorsese and played a cameo in The Wolf of Wall Street.
The news comes at a time when there have been reports claiming that Sutton Foster is romantically linked to Hugh Jackman, following their appearance in The Music Man around two years ago. An insider for Page Six also previously claimed that The Music Man co-stars are willing to stay together forever and added:
"They go out of their way to hide it, but it's common knowledge."
On the other hand, representatives for Foster and Griffin are yet to share more details related to the split. The pair have also not addressed anything about the separation from their side on any platform.
Sutton and Ted got engaged in 2013 and are the parents of a child named Emily, who was adopted four years later. The duo's decision was a result of Foster's fertility struggles and in an interview with People magazine in 2018, Sutton said:
"I was always trying to make sense of why it wasn't working. I always thought, there has to be a reason. Now I realize Emily was so clearly meant to be our daughter. She was the reason!"

"In a world where we're so attached to phones and screens, I love the aliveness of theater and that anything can happen. You get to have shared experience every night, not only with the cast, but with the audience. It keeps me coming back."
She has performed at various venues around the world, including the New Amsterdam Theatre. During her conversation, she opened up on how she has been adjusting to her work and family life together and said:
"It's definitely hard. My daughter is 7 years old. A lot of my career, I was childless. My first experience has been recent. Our schedules are opposite. Even on the weekends, when she's free, I'm working. It's a challenge, but we figure it out. We FaceTime a lot from the theater, and she comes to visit me."
