Oscar winner Jodie Foster marries photographer Alexandra Hedison
Actress ties knot with Alexandra Hedison after Golden Globe speech seen as her coming out
Two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster has married her girlfriend Alexandra Hedison, a spokeswoman for the US actress said.
Foster, who made a speech at last year's Golden Globes widely seen as her official coming out, tied the knot with photographer Hedison at the weekend, according to People magazine.
The couple had been dating for almost a year, it said. The 51-year-old star's publicist, Jennifer Allen, confirmed the details on Wednesday, but gave no further comment.
Hedison, 44, dated TV talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres for three years before splitting in 2004, when DeGeneres began dating her now wife Portia de Rossi.
The photographer, whose work has been shown in collections worldwide, has also directed and been an actress, including on Showtime's lesbian drama series The L Word.
Foster and Hedison began dating last summer, according to E! News, which first reported their wedding. "It's pretty serious," a source told E! News in September, adding: "They're totally in love."
Foster is best known for playing FBI agent Clarice Starling, seeking the help of serial killer Hannibal Lecter - played by Anthony Hopkins - in tracking down another multiple murderer in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs.
