Meet Jodie Foster’s family: her wife once dated Ellen DeGeneres and the Oscar-winning actress and Nyad star rarely steps out with her sons Kit and Charles – but is Mel Gibson the biological dad?
Late last year Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster was spotted on a rare public outing with her 22-year-old son in the Big Apple.
The Silence of the Lambs actress, 61, is notoriously private about her family life. She shares two children with her ex, Cydney Bernard, and is married to American photographer and director Alexandra Hedison.
Foster recently starred in Netflix sports thriller Nyad alongside Annette Bening and Rhys Ifans.
Here’s a peek inside the Hollywood veteran’s family life outside her acting work.

Who are Jodie Foster’s children, Kit and Charles Bernard Foster?
Foster shares two sons with her ex-partner Cydney Bernard. Both Kit, 22, and Charles, 25, are extremely private. Per British media, Foster made the decision to shield her children from the Hollywood spotlight right away, though they do occasionally make public appearances. Charlie has been photographed alongside his mum backstage at the musical Nevermore: The Imaginary Life and Mysterious Death of Edgar Allan Poe in 2015, and at a Sony Pictures’ Golden Globes Party at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in 2012, and they both showed up to support their mum getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016.
