Jodie Foster found her biggest supporter in her wife, Alexandra Hedison.
One year before the couple wed, Foster declared she was single during the 2013 Golden Globes.
“I have a sudden urge to say something I’ve never really been able to say in public. A declaration that I’m a little nervous about, but, you know, loud and proud,” she said in her speech while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award. “I am single! Yes I am, I’m kidding. I’m not really kidding, but kind of.”
In the speech, she also publicly acknowledged her ex Cydney Bernard with whom she shares sons Charlie and Kit.
Eight months after the actress shared her newfound relationship status, Foster was seen on a date with Hedison. The pair were spotted on multiple occasions before they secretly wed the following year.
