Sutton and Hugh have known each other for quite some time and even worked together on Broadway in The Music Man revival in 2022. At the time, she told Vogue, “He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous—and all of that is true.” Sutton added,  “He’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40.”
