Just when we thought Jodie Foster couldn’t earn more praise, she has been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for “True Detective” at the 2024 Emmys! Whether she takes home the big prize or not, one thing is certain—she will undoubtedly be in the spotlight.
With eighty acting credits, two Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards, three Golden Globes, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, and the Honorary Palme d’Or, Foster has consistently shown that there’s no role she can’t master and no genre where she doesn’t shine.
As many leading media outlets predict she’ll secure an Emmy on September 15, fans are once again curious about her personal life, particularly her love story with wife Alexandra Hedison. Discover all the details about their relationship here!
Inside Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison’s marriage
After years of speculation about Jodie Foster’s sexual orientation, the actress publicly came out as gay at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards while accepting a lifetime achievement award. In a speech that was both humorous and heartfelt, she reflected on what it meant to openly share who she loved, and at the time, mentioned that she was single.
However, that wasn’t entirely accurate—or at least, it was about to change. Around that time, she began dating photographer, director, and actress Alexandra Hedison. After a year of dating, the couple tied the knot in late April 2014, marking the beginning of a love story that has only grown stronger.

Since then, Foster and Hedison have been inseparable, frequently supporting each other at public events. One of their earliest notable outings was in 2018 at a women’s march. Later, in 2021, Hedison celebrated Foster’s Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in The Mauritanian by posting a photo of her. When Foster won, the couple shared a heartwarming kiss on the Zoom call due to the ongoing pandemic.
Over the years, Hedison has consistently celebrated Foster on social media, from her honorary Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2021 to her 61st birthday in November 2023. Now, with the Emmys night approaching, Hedison may soon have another moment to proudly cheer for her wife. Fingers crossed!
