    Jodie Foster Finally Sells Hollywood Home

    Jodie Foster first listed her Hollywood home back in June of 2013–for $6.399 million. In September of 2013 she dropped the price to $5.995 million. She still didn’t find a buyer for the 6,000-square-foot Spanish-style home. In the spring of 2014, Foster once again listed the house–with a new agency–for $5.75 million. She finally sold it for what the Wall Street Journal reports as about $5 million.

    Once Jodie Foster’s primary residence, the home was a lot like the very private actress. It featured a surround of lush hedges and an entrance in the back. It has a wall just off the dining room that opens to a beautiful outdoor–very secluded–courtyard. With five bedrooms and six bathrooms, Foster had plenty of room for friends and family to visit, but because of the rather secluded image she portrayed to her public, what took place when the actress lived there is relatively unknown.

    The home was built in 1935, and was previously owned by actress and fashion model Cheryl Tiegs. The identity of the home’s newest owners hasn’t yet been released.

    Conrad Hitchcock of Hilton & Hyland represented the buyers. He didn’t identify the buyers, but noted they loved the home’s “Spanish charm.” He also added that the home requires “very little work.”

    “Jodie has taken immaculate care of it,” he said.

    Forbes reports that Jodie Foster owns a Hollywood mansion that she purchased in 2012 for $11,750,000. It is noted that she wasn’t living in the Spanish-style home at the time of its sale.

    Jodie Foster has long led a fairly reclusive private life. She will long be remembered for outing herself during an emotional speech as she accepted a lifetime achievement award at the 2013 Golden Globes. She married Alexandra Hedison in April of this year.

    Hopefully Jodie Foster and her wife are enjoying the privacy wherever they may be living now that she once enjoyed in her Spanish-style home–not to mention the $5 million she just reeled in from the sale.

    Alexandra Hedison Marries Jodie Foster

    Jodie Foster now has a new title to add to her resume … a bride!

    Foster’s rep Jennifer Allen confirmed that she, and her girlfriend for over a year Alexandra Hedison, married over the weekend.

    The news of Foster’s marriage comes 15-months after publicly coming out about her sexuality. During the 2013 Golden Globes, while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, Foster addressed what so many already knew … that she is a lesbian.

    “There won’t be a big coming out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age — in those very quaint days where a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her, who she actually met,” Foster said.

    “But now, apparently, I’m told that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance, and a primetime reality show… I am not Honey Boo Boo,” she said. “I have given everything up there since the time that I was 3 years old — that’s reality show enough, don’t you think?”

    Hedison previously dated comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, but they later split, after three years, in 2004. Foster was in a relationship with Cydney Bernard for 20 years before calling in quits in 2008. They currently co-parent their two sons Charles and Kit.

    Congratulations to the happy couple!

  • Jodie Foster and Girlfriend, Alexandra Hedison, Tie the Knot

    Jodie Foster is a married woman now! The 51-year-old actress and film director has tied the knot with her girlfriend, Alexandra Hedison.

    According to E! News, Foster’s representative confirmed that the two married at an “undisclosed location.” Speculation of Foster’s wedding began to surface after several media outlets reported the news last weekend.

    The news comes just 15 months after Foster spoke openly about her sexuality for the first time. At the 2013 Golden Globes, Foster definitely had a lot to say when she took the stage to accept the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. Her acceptance speech was a metaphorical reference about the award and her sexual orientation.

    “There won’t be a big coming out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age — in those very quaint days where a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her, who she actually met,” Jodie said at the time.

    “But now, apparently, I’m told that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance, and a primetime reality show… I am not Honey Boo Boo,” she quipped. “I have given everything up there since the time that I was 3 years old — that’s reality show enough, don’t you think?”

    The famed Silence of the Lambs actress ended her speech by expressing her gratitude toward her family, professional staff and ex-partner Cydney Bernard, whom she has two children with.

    “[Thank you] to my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy… most beloved BFF of 20 years, Cydney Bernard,” she said. “Thank you, Cyd. I am so proud of our modern family.”

    Foster and Hedison began dating sometime last summer.

  • Jodie Foster Weds Girlfriend Alexandra Hedison

    Oscar winning actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster is officially off the market. Foster’s rep has confirmed that the Silence of the Lambs actress and photographer/actress Alexandra Hedison got married last weekend after about one year of dating.

    No details have been reported concerning the ceremony or reception. And if Foster stays true to character, we probably won’t hear much, because the actress is known to keep the details of her private life close to the vest.

    Hedison is the former girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres. Apart from her career as a photographer, she is an actress and appeared in several episodes of the Showtime drama The L Word.

    Foster and former partner Cydney Bernard ended their relationship in 2008 after 20 years together. They have two sons Charlies and Kit. Despite years of speculation concerning her sexuality, Foster never made explaining her personal love life a public priority.

    In what has now become a Foster talking point, she made it pretty clear at the Golden Globes last year while accepting the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award that she is gay. She explained that everyone who needed to know about her sexuality, already knew. “I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age. If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe then you too might value privacy above all else.”

    Foster has had a long and lustrous career as a Hollywood A-List actress and director. She has won two Academy Awards. The first was for the film The Accused in 1988 where Foster played a rape victim. The second Oscar came in 1992 for her iconic role as FBI agent Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs.

    Foster just recently came out to the public while accepting her Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January. During her speech she said: “This is not going to be a big coming out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the stone age – in those very quaint days when a fragile girl would open up to trusted friends and family and coworkers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her. But now apparently I’m told that every celebrity is expected to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a primetime reality show.”
