Jodie Foster took home her third Golden Globe on Sunday night for her work in True Detective: Night Country—and in her speech, she made a rare declaration to her family.
“I just want to thank my family,” Foster said. “Because Kit, my scientist son, and Charlie, my actor son who’s starting his career: Hopefully you understand the joy, such joy, that comes from doing really hard, meaningful, good work. So, my boys, I love you, and this, of course, is for you. And the love of my life, Alex, thank you forever.”
Foster has a history of getting personal at the Golden Globes. Back in 2013, she publicly came out as a lesbian when she accepted the Cecil B DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony—although, as she put it, “I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age.” Foster then gave a shoutout to her ex and the co-parent of her two sons, Sydney Bernard.
Foster and Hedison began their relationship that same year and married one year later in 2014.
When Foster won her second Golden Globe in 2021, she accepted the award alongside Hedison over a Zoom call thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Foster’s elder son, Charlie, is an actor who studied at Yale University. Her younger son, Kit, is a budding scientist. As Foster told The Guardian last year, “They like to watch movies and sit at home, and they’re really into their female friends. They’re super feminist.”
