Who Is Jodie Foster's Wife, Alexandra Hedison?

Screen icon Jodie Foster has been a staple of Hollywood since 1969, per IMDb. From masterfully portraying FBI agent Clarice in Silence of the Lambs to her breakout role in Taxi Driver, Foster has won two Academy Awards for Best Actress in her acclaimed career. 

Yet Foster's greatest role might be that of playing matchmaker. Her rumored hand in connecting co-star Shailene Woodley with Aaron Rodgers, her Green Bay Packers quarterback fiance, is just another strike by Foster's Cupid arrow. Foster's own love story is one for the ages: She married wife Alexandra Hedison in 2014. 

Foster is famously private about her personal life. In a 2013 Golden Globes acceptance speech, she clarified that she prefers to keep her family life out of the spotlight. "I'm told, apparently, that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference and a primetime reality show. I'm sorry: that's just not me," Foster stated. 

That includes keeping her two adult sons Charlie and Kit with former partner Cydney Bernard separate from her career. "I know the perils of having a parent involved in your art form are too great. My older son is getting more interested in acting now, and I'm glad he discovered it late. My younger son is really shy and I can promise you he will never be an actor," Foster teased to The Guardian in 2018.

Jodie Foster has found happiness with another actor away from the cameras — wife Alexandra Hedison! According to IMDb, Hedison started acting on-screen in 1994 and most notably appeared on TV series L.A. Firefighters, Prey, and The L Word. Hedison stopped acting in 2009. 

Hedison was born and raised in Los Angeles; her father, David Hedison, was also an actor, known for his roles in The Fly, The Loveboat, and Fantasy Island. In fact, Hollywood is such a big part of her life that Hedison formerly dated another big star. Per Rare, she was linked to Ellen DeGeneres from 2000 to 2004. It wasn't until 2013 however that Foster and Hedison went public with their romance. They tied the knot in 2014, according to E! News. 

Hedison currently works as an artist and photographer. "She often focuses on synthetic veils in ordinary environments," her website states. Hedison has been professionally exhibiting her work since 2002. She also shares a glimpse into married life with Foster on her Instagram page.

After almost a decade together, it's clear this artistic duo knows how to make it work in Hollywood.
