Oscar winner Jodie Foster, 62, was photographed enjoying a casual day out in New York City with a male companion on Tuesday. The pair smiled warmly, with Foster’s friend wrapping his arm around her and even planting a kiss on her head during their walk. The actress, married to photographer Alexandra Hedison since 2014, kept her look relaxed in faded jeans, a gray sweater, and a patterned coat, accessorized with a dark blue scarf and black sneakers. Her friend sported a camel-colored suede coat and khaki trousers.

The outing follows Foster’s rare public appearance with her 26-year-old son, Charlie, at the 2025 SAG Awards in February. Nominated for her role in True Detective: Night Country, she dazzled in a plum beaded gown, while Charlie looked sharp in a classic tuxedo. Foster shares Charlie and 23-year-old son Kit with ex-partner Cydney Bernard. During her Golden Globes acceptance speech earlier this year, she praised her sons’ budding careers: “My scientist son Kit and actor Charlie… this is for you,” she said, reflecting on the “joy of meaningful work.”

Pride in Her Sons’ Journeys
In a 2024 interview, Foster shared her excitement about her children’s futures, noting Charlie’s pursuit of acting and Kit’s scientific ambitions. “Every time they achieve something, my heart swells,” she told People. “I know a career built on passion is the key to happiness.”

Longtime Love with Alexandra Hedison

While Foster’s marriage to Hedison remains private, the couple occasionally steps out together at events like the 2024 Oscars. Hedison, a photographer and director, once shared a sweet birthday tribute to Foster on Instagram, writing, “Loving you is easy as cake.”

Foster, a former child star known for Taxi Driver, continues to balance her iconic career with family life, proving that joy comes from both professional dedication and cherished personal moments.
