Who is Jodie Foster’s wife, Alexandra Hedison?

Alexandra Hedison is an American fine arts photographer.

She was born in Los Angeles in 1969 to parents David Hedison and Bridget Mori.

She went on to attend the State University of New York at Purchase and the University of California.

Hedison’s work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums across the US and Europe.

Also a director and actress, Hedison has appeared in multiple television series including LA Firefighters, Prey, and Showtime’s The L Word.

How long have Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison been married?

It is unclear exactly how and where the couple met since they keep their relationship mostly low-key.

When honored with the Cecile B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes in 2013, Foster addressed her coming out during her acceptance speech.

It was that year that Foster and Hedison began dating.

That summer, they were seen together at Fox Studios and dining out with friends.

The loved-up pair surprised many when they secretly married in April 2014.

They had been dating for just a year, and now live together with pet pooch Ziggy.

The couple prefer to keep their relationship out of the spotlight but delighted fans by appearing on screen in their pajamas with dog Ziggy together during the 2021 Golden Globe awards ceremony.

Foster joyously kissed her wife of almost seven years after scooping her third Golden Globe award.

Who else has Alexandra Hedison dated?

Hedison’s most notable previous relationship was with Ellen DeGeneres.

After the talk-show host split from actress Anne Heche, she began dating Hedison in 2001.

Their relationship was quite private, with both women pursuing their careers.

In 2003, Ellen launched the hugely successful Ellen DeGeneres Show.

A year later, in 2004, the pair split when Ellen met her now-wife Portia de Rossi at the VH1 Awards.

Portia was dating director Francesca Gregorini at the time.

Both Ellen and Portia broke it off with their respective partners and quickly became a couple. They married in 2008.
