Sutton Foster, the well-known star from Sesame Street, and her spouse Ted Griffin are parting ways after nearly a decade together. Sutton has gained recognition for her roles in popular series like Bunheads and Mad Dogs. As reported by CelebrityNetWorth, her current net worth is approximately $4 million.
On October 22, 2024, Foster filed for divorce at the New York County Supreme Court. Interestingly, the couple was set to mark their tenth wedding anniversary just three days later, according to Us Weekly.
Ted Griffin shares the same industry background, having worked as a screenwriter on notable films such as Ocean’s Eleven and Matchstick Men. He also has a close relationship with renowned director Martin Scorsese and made a cameo in The Wolf of Wall Street.
This breakup news surfaces amid speculation surrounding Foster’s rumored romance with Hugh Jackman, which reportedly began after their collaboration on The Music Man two years ago. An insider for Page Six noted that the two performers have been discreet about their relationship, stating:
“They go out of their way to hide it, but it’s common knowledge.”
As for Sutton and Ted, their representatives have not yet provided any additional information regarding the split. Neither Foster nor Griffin has publicly discussed the separation on any platforms.
The couple got engaged in 2013 and are proud parents to a daughter named Emily, whom they adopted four years later. Their decision to adopt stemmed from Foster’s struggles with fertility. In a 2018 interview with People magazine, Sutton reflected on this journey:
“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!”
Sutton Foster’s Successful Career: Wealth and Insights
Hailing from Statesboro, Georgia, Sutton Foster has captivated audiences with her exceptional performances over the years. She has also released two solo music albums, which have contributed to her financial success and portfolio, including various properties.
In 2021, she purchased a luxurious residence in Tuxedo, New York, for $1.61 million. This historical property was designed by architect Bruce Price back in 1895, as noted by CelebrityNetWorth. However, this home was put on the market for sale in December of last year.
The foundation of Sutton’s wealth primarily lies in her acting career. At 49 years old, her journey in the entertainment industry began when she acted in a short film titled Mr. Terbillion’s Ambition in 1989. She also achieved recognition as the runner-up on the game show Star Search shortly after.
Beyond movies and television, Sutton has made significant contributions to theater, enhancing her reputation further. In an August 2024 interview with Elle Magazine, she expressed her passion for the live theater experience:
“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 graced numerous stages globally, including the reputable New Amsterdam Theatre. Speaking about balancing her career with motherhood, she shared:
“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.”
Sutton Foster portrayed Liza Miller in the comedy-drama series Younger and has appeared in various other shows, including Doc McStuffins, Say Yes to the Dress, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Her film credits include roles in The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.
