It's the question that has sent tongues wagging across the world: who will steal the heart of Hollywood's newest bachelor Hugh Jackman?

From Hollywood sirens to notoriously private starlets, meet the Hollywood stars ready to be swept off their feet by newly-single Hugh.
Like Hugh, Sharon has enjoyed an incredible career in Hollywood and is regarded as one of the most iconic actresses in showbiz.
However the 65-year-old Basic Instinct star has struggled in the love department, having endured two failed marriages and number of high-profile flings over the years.

Stone was previously married to Phil Bronstein and Michael Greenburg, and was once engaged to Bill MacDonald.
She has also dated a string of famous men since finding fame in the nineties, including the likes of John Kennedy Jr., David Duchovny, Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, and Dweezil Zappa.
In December 2019, Stone revealed she'd turned to dating app Bumble to find love, but had been blocked because no one believed it was really her.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) at the time, the Golden Globe winner made a public plea to the company to reinstate her account.
The mother-of-three shared: 'I went on the @bumble dating sight and they closed my account. Some users reported that it couldn't possibly be me! Hey @bumble, is being me exclusionary ? Don't shut me out of the hive [sic]'.
Nine hours after Sharon announced her account had been suspended, a spokesperson for Bumble told MailOnline it was back up and running again.

Aside from their shared acting talents, Hugh and Sharon are also both proud parents to adoptive children from previous marriages.
Sharon, who suffered multiple miscarriages, adopted three sons - Roan, 23, Laird, 18, and Quinn, 17 - while married to her former husband Phil Bronstein.
Similarly, Hugh and Deborra-Lee adopted son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18, after the pair suffered fertility issues.
Reese Witherspoon
Legally Blonde star Reese Witherspoon, 47, officially announced her separation from husband-of-12-years Jim Toth in March, just a few months before Hugh confirmed his split from Deborra-Lee.
Like Hugh, Reese is known as one of Hollywood's nicest actors, and boasts a loyal fanbase that has followed her career since the early 2000s.
The pair are also known for maintaining friendly relationships with their exes.
Reese is still on good terms with her first husband Ryan Phillippe - with whom she shares daughter Ava, 23, and son Deacon, 19.

Meanwhile, Reese and Jim have confirmed they are on good terms and are planning to co-parent their son Tennessee, 10, amicably.
'They really are the best of friends and this is such an amicable decision. They are so committed to co-parenting together. They are invested in their whole family and making this as smooth as possible for everyone,' the insider said.
'We have enjoyed so many wonderful years together and are moving forward with deep love, kindness, and mutual respect for everything we have created together,' the couple said in a joint statement confirming their split on March 24.

Similarly, Hugh and Deborra-Lee made similar assertions in their break-up announcement last month, telling fans: 'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness.'
She's one of Hollywood's sexiest women, so it's no wonder fans are begging for Sofia Vergara to shack up with Hugh.
The American-Colombian actress, 51, became hot property back in July after she announced her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello, 46, after seven years of marriage.
On July 17, the former couple announced their split and issued a joint statement to Page Six, saying: 'We have made the difficult decision to divorce.'

'As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.'
In court docs obtained by TMZ, the Magic Mike actor cited 'irreconcilable differences' — with the outlet claiming that Joe wanted children with the actress, who is already a mother to 31-year-old son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara.
Sofia's reported disinterest in welcoming another child may come as no surprise as she famously duked it out in court with her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb over their frozen embryos.
The businessman sued the Modern Family actress after they split in 2014 in a bid to stop her from destroying the embryos, and over the course of their seven-year legal battle, the two also became intertwined in a very-public media war, hurling a slew of insults and making a series of personal jabs at one another in numerous interviews.

Hugh is known for his great sense of humour - something Jennifer Aniston has in spades.
The Friends actress, 54, is currently single after a slew of failed romances including her well-publicised marriages to Brad Pitt and subsequently Justin Theroux.

However, the Morning Show actress has reportedly expressed optimism about her love life, after an insider told UsWeekly Jennifer believes she will find Mr Right in the next five years.
'In her gut, Jen believes she'll eventually meet the right person,' a source insisted.
However, the source added that Jennifer isn't going to 'beat herself up if it doesn't happen', adding: 'She is fine on her own. [Jennifer] is in a great place. She's happy, healthy and fulfilled by her career, family and friends.'

'[She's] been through a lot, but she feels blessed to be thriving personally and professionally.'
Jennifer struggled with fertility for years - something with which Hugh can empathise given his former wife's struggles to fall pregnant.
'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road. It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it,' Jennifer told Allure magazine in November 2022.
She continued: 'I don't have anything to hide at this point.'

Hollywood funnywoman Mindy Kaling, 44, is reportedly single following her split from ex-boyfriend BJ Novak.

'If you're a 42-year-old [single] woman with kids, it makes people sad… I'm like, 'There is hope for us. There could be great stories about women, like me, finding love, finding happiness…',' she told the magazine last year.
And Mindy added, 'I can't imagine anyone besides me would write it, so I have to find the time to do that.'
Silver screen siren Angelia Jolie, 48, became one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelorettes following her messy split from Brad Pitt in 2019.
And it's no surprise fans are hoping for Hugh and Angelina to strike up a romance now that he is a free agent.
Aside from their genetically-blessed looks and successful acting careers, the pair are also both parents to adopted children and share a love for philanthropy.

Like Hugh, Angelina is a fierce advocate for human rights and actively participates in charities around the world.
Intriguingly, Deborra-Lee previously said Hugh was forbidden to star opposite Angelina on a film, during an interview with the Today show in 2015.
'I've told his agent he's not allowed to work with Angelina [Jolie],' Deborra-Lee mused during an interview with then-host Lisa Wilkinson.

'I'm sure she's very nice and I love what she's doing - shining a light on awareness for adoption...' she trailed off, before adding: 'just kidding'.
But a blushing Hugh seemed to give away the reality of the situation with a nervous giggle.
Hugh and Deborra-Lee, 67, shocked fans when they announced they were divorcing last month.
'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,' the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

'Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.'

The Australian couple share two children together; Oscar, 23, and Ava, 18.
