Jodie Foster publically announced she was gay in 2013 after years of media speculation.

Jodie Foster publically came out as gay at the Golden Globes last year (2013). Although she did not explicitly state her sexuality, she explained how she had never avoided telling those close to her. 

Speculation surrounding Foster's relationships had been rife over the previous decades but this speech at the 2013 Golden Globes was the first time Foster had addressed such rumours. Of coming out she said "I already did my coming out about 1,000 years ago, back in the Stone Age." But continued to explain her decision to keep her private life from the press, saying: "If you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest, against all odds, maybe then you too would value privacy beyond all other things." 

Foster was in a relationship with Cydney Bernard from 1993-2008 with whom she has two sons. She thanks Bernard for her support whilst coming out at the Golden Globes and for their time together. Foster has since been linked to Ellen DeGeneres' former girlfriend Alexandra Hedison.
