Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In May of 2008, Jodie reportedly split from her partner of fourteen years, film producer Cydney Bernard. Announcement was made just five months after Foster openly acknowledged for the first time that they were an item by paying tribute to Ms. Bernard at an awards ceremony. Together, she and Cydney parent Jodie's sons, Charles and Kit, born to single mother Foster in 1998 and 2001, respectively, but never publically disclose who the father is.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jodie and Helen Hunt auditioned for the part of Tabitha Stephens in the 1960s comedy series Bewitched, a role that ultimately went to twins Erin and Diane Murphy.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jodie does not address long-standing rumors about her sexual orientation or the name of her sons' father. She has never admitted to any romantic involvements, until this past December (2007) when she hinted at emotional commitments by publically acknowledging her longtime friend, Cydney Bernard, at a Women in Entertainment breakfast in Los Angeles, California. The middle name of both of Foster's sons is Bernard.

ADD QUOTES
- Jodie Foster: Ask me something. I don't have a problem being blunt.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jodie Foster:(about not disclosing the identity of the father or fathers of her sons) So far, they seem extremely content and well-adjusted. I have a big family and lots of [male] friends. I'm trying to do the best I can. Someday, somebody can ask them directly about their lives, and they'll have something to say. You're welcome to call them up when they're 18.

- Jodie Foster: I spent a lot of time not in school, so I didn't have deep relationships with kids my own age. I didn't learn social skills. And you can get away with things with grownups that kids won't let you get away with, like being flaky.
