A name that is as famous in the starlit galaxy of Hollywood as in the award seasons is Alicia Christian ‘Jodie’ Foster. The two-time Oscar-winning actress has several honors to her name, including three BAFTAs, three Golden Globes, and many more. Having begun her career as a child model, she appeared in various Disney films and later spread her wings far wider by bagging significant roles in many Hollywood blockbusters.

Like Foster’s contribution to the cinema world has been mention-worthy, so have been the intrigues of her personal life. Hence, furnishing all the necessary facts from her love life to her family relations, here is a thorough brief to know the actress better. 

Jodie Foster’s wife and dating history

Jodie Foster’s achievements remain open to the public domain, but when it comes to her relationships, she has preferred to keep things private. However, her tying the knot with the photographer-cum-actress, Alexandra Hedison, in 2014 is not alien to common knowledge. Foster and her wife recently attended the SAG Awards, which witnessed its first Irish win with Cillian Murphy.

A proud advocate of the LGBTQ+ community, Foster first came out with her orientation back in 2007, but her 2013 Golden Globes speech marked her official announcement to the world.

Before joining her hands with Hedison for the wedding bells, Jodie was dating Cydney Bernard in 1993. The pair share two children, Charlie and Kit, whom they co-parent as they broke up before her iconic Globes speech. Following their breakup, Foster began dating Cynthia Mort for a while in 2008 during the filming of The Brave One. Like her relationship with Bernard and marriage with Hedison, her bond with Mort was also pretty private and their parting ways cited personal differences. 

The private nature of Foster’s life extends beyond breakups to the lives of her sons.

All about Jodie Foster’s sons, Kit and Charlie

Jodie Foster’s intricate balance of professional and family life is the biggest testament to her success. Kit and Charlie, her sons, whom she shares with her former partner, Cydney Bernard, are currently 23 and 26 years old, respectively. Over the years, Foster has fought her best to keep her children’s lives private, but it is no news that she has been more than just “proud” about her “modern family” as was revealed by her during the 2013 Globes speech.

Kit, her younger son, who goes by Christopher Bernard Foster, is not an acting enthusiast and this was admitted by Foster herself in a 2018 interview with The Guardian. However, Charles Bernard Foster, a.k.a Charlie, has an inclination to act. The Yale student has supposedly taken part in many school theatre productions as an actor and crew member. Foster told to More Magazine in 2016 how Charlie is an amazing artist who is also into “improv”.

While Foster has often been outspoken about her gratefulness to her children, the same comes in clear view even from her interview scoops.
