Jodie Foster is a married woman. The 51-year-old actress has wed her girlfriend of less than one year, 44-year-old Alexandra Hedison, the star's rep confirmed to MailOnline. The couple said their vows 'over the weekend,' according to E Online. 'They're totally in love,' a source added. The brunette photographer is the ex-girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres.
In March the Elysium star and her girlfriend were spotted with wedding bands on their ring fingers. While Alexandra's ring was evident as she strolled along with her arm around her partner in Beverly Hills, Jodie's band was visible later in the day as she dropped her car off at body shop. The couple looked very content as they strolled along having gone for a quick shopping trip at Barneys New York.
Before Alexandra, Jodie had been in a 20 year relationship with female producer Cydney Bernard. They split in 2008. They have two sons together: Charles aged 15, and Kit aged 13. Alexandra dated Ellen for over three years with their relationship ending in 2004, reportedly because the Oscar host met actress Portia de Rossi, who she has since wed.
Foster came out as gay during an acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards in 2013. 'This is not going to be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the stone age – in those very quaint days when a fragile girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her,' she said during the awards show.
