Well, she’s not single anymore.
Actress Jodie Foster married her girlfriend, photographer Alexandra Hedison over the weekend, according to
various news reports.
Foster acknowledged her sexuality in a large scale announcement for
the first time in a 2013 Golden Globes acceptance speech for the Cecil
B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. She nervously built up to her big
reveal: “I am, uh, single.” It was a wink and a nod to the fact that
her sexuality was something of an open secret in Hollywood, if you could
even call it that. She hadn’t actively tried to conceal it, but she
didn’t flaunt it, either. Said Foster:

I’m here being all
confessional, and I guess I have a sudden urge to say something I’ve
never really been able to air in public, a declaration that I’m a little
nervous about but maybe not quite as nervous as my publicist right now — hi Jennifer —
but I’m just going to put it out there, right, loud and proud. I’m
going to need your support on this. I am, uh, single. Yes, I am. I am
single. No, I’m kidding. I mean, I’m not really kidding, but I’m kind of
kidding. I mean, thank you for the enthusiasm. Can I get a wolf whistle
or something? I hope that you’re not disappointed that 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, those very quaint days when
a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and
co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her, to
everyone she actually met. 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 prime-time reality show. And you guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child.
