“Taxi Driver” and “The Silence of the Lambs” star Jodie Foster amazed fans with her makeup-free face at 60!
The actress has been married to her wife for nine years, initially hiding her sexuality for years from the public.
The proud mom of two got candid about her relationship with her ex.
Jodie Foster, famous for numerous hit films, including “The Silence of the Lambs,” was rarely seen in public with her wife of nine years, Alexandra Hedison. The happy couple was spotted stepping out for lunch on a cold day in January 2023.
Foster wore a thick black coat over a grey hoodie, beige pants, a black beanie, and black sneakers. Hedison looked snug in a dark puffer vest worn over a green sweater, paired with an orange scarf, khaki slack, and trainers.
However, what really caught the attention of Foster’s fans was that the 60-year-old actress looked remarkable without any makeup. Foster is notoriously private with her personal life, rarely stepping out in public and largely staying out of the public eye.
Fans on social media were elated to see Foster happy and healthy, and many complimented her, saying she has aged wonderfully.
Ten years ago, in 2013, the then-51-year-old Foster gave the world a rare glimpse into her private life when she came out as gay in her speech at the Golden Globes. The “Taxi Driver” star said, “I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.” Nonetheless, she confessed some fans “might be surprised” by her coming out.
While many of Foster’s fans are incredibly supportive and laud the actress as an admirable public figure, others aren’t as forthcoming with praise. Many social media users responded to Foster’s recent public appearance, with some praising her work and saying she looks fantastic.
Many users applauded Foster’s insistence on keeping her personal life private, while some took the opportunity to comment on the fact that she looks youthful and healthy despite her age. Some merely voiced their opinions, with one person writing, “Amazing. Very nice. Her wife has that Bea Arthur charm about her. Amazing.”
How Does Judy Foster Look at 60 and Who Is Her Wife?
Fans on social media were elated to see Foster happy and healthy, and many complimented her, saying she has aged wonderfully. One fan wrote, “I’ve always been a fan of hers she’s a great actress and she honestly doesnt seem to age.”
Before Foster and Hedison tied the knot, the “Flightplan” star was in a 15-year-long relationship with the producer Cydney Bernard.
Others agreed that Foster looked great and voiced how much they respect Foster as an actress, writing, “A great actress who values privacy and creates no drama. I respect her,” and “Jodie Foster is a great actress.” However, not everyone reacted positively. One person wrote, “They seem to be happy homeless couple.” Another person stated:
“I always thought she was married with children. As married [I] mean a husband.”
Although many people are still surprised to learn that Foster is openly gay, the actress has been candid about her sexuality for almost a decade now. Around the same time Foster came out at the Golden Globes, people realized she was dating Hedison.
The two dated for about a year, eventually tying the knot in 2014. Shortly after they said their vows, a source opened up about the couple, saying they were incredibly happy together. The pair haven’t said much about their relationship themselves, but the source noted, “When they’re together, it can be like they’re in their own world.”
The couple was previously seen together at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, where Foster was awarded the Honorary Palme d’Or. Hedison and Foster attended the film festival together, and the actress gave her wife a sweet kiss before she approached the stage to accept the award.
Although they prefer to stay out of the limelight, Hedison took to Instagram in 2021 to personally congratulate her wife for winning another Golden Globe for her role in the film “The Mauritanian.” She wrote, “I’ll have to show you my phone for you to see this but still…I’m shouting from the rooftops.”
The 2021 Golden Globes were held remotely, meaning Foster accepted the award from the comfort of her own home. Before delivering her acceptance speech, Foster sat with Hedison and their dog, and the happy couple shared a kiss on-camera. Her sons, Kit Bernard Foster and Charles Bernard Foster, weren’t present.
Who Are Jodie’s Kids and What Relationship Does She Have with Her Ex?
Before Foster and Hedison tied the knot, the “Flightplan” star was in a 15-year-long relationship with the producer Cydney Bernard. Foster and Bernard went their separate ways in 2008, but they maintain an amicable relationship.
Foster has also thanked her ex-partner profusely for the life they built and the children they share.
The two have been spotted grabbing coffee together after breaking up, and Foster reportedly even helped her ex-partner move furniture. Foster has opened up about her relationship with her ex, saying Bernard will always have a special place in her heart. According to The Guardian, the actress stated:
“[She is my] heroic co-parent, my ex partner in love, but righteous soul sister in life. My confessor … most beloved BFF of 20 years.”
Bernard and Foster still co-parent their two children, Charlie, 24, and Christopher, 21 (known to those close to him as Kit). Foster had the oldest of their two children at the age of 35 in 1998. Her second son followed three years later, on September 29, 2001.
While the identity of the children’s father is unknown, Foster and Bernard have been dutiful and loving co-parents to their two kids throughout the years. The boys have appeared alongside Foster at red-carpet events, standing by to provide their mom with support and undoubtedly roaring applause.
Foster has also thanked her ex-partner profusely for the life they built and the children they share. In a touching remark, the actress gushed, “Thank you Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family, our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit who are my reason to breathe and to evolve.”
