Usually, when a Hollywood couple breaks up, there is a certain sense of “I told you so,” which was the case with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey; Jessica Simpson and John Mayer; Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo…you get the idea. But sometimes Hollywood couple break-up stories are just sad. Liv Tyler’s recent news falls in that category, as does the latest buzz regarding actress Jodie Foster and her longtime partner, Cydney Bernard.
Actress Jodie Foster has reportedly split from her long-time girlfriend Cydney Bernard.
Rumors of Foster’s 14-year relationship with the film producer, 54, had only recently become widespread, although those in Foster’s close Hollywood circle have reportedly known for years.
Lately, the Panic Room star has been more open about her love, reportedly telling a crowd of Hollywood stars in a speech of her domestic situation in December.
And at an awards ceremony, the 45-year-old actress thanked her mate: “My beautiful Cydney, who sticks by me through all the rotten and the bliss.”
But however public or private the relationship, the National Enquirer reports the two have called it quits. The two have acted as parents to Foster’s two children: Charlie, 9, and Kit, 6.
I really hope it’s not true, but we may never know for sure, since Jodie is fiercely private about her relationship with Cydney. If she never went public with the relationship, it’s doubtful that she’ll comment on its demise. Only a couple of weeks ago there were photos of Jodie and Cydney on vacation with their kids in Hawaii, splashing in the surf and looking very happy.
I guess I’ve been living in a cave because I wasn’t even aware Jodie had a partner. I never thought about the person she lived with, or whatever.
Hat’s off to Jodie for retaining the good taste to not act ‘Hollywood’ with her relationships- where it’s just another excuse to get some airtime in front of the cameras.
I really hope this is not true. Long term relationships are so rare in Hollywood, and any couple who makes it work is special. I hope this is just “National Enquirer” bull.
Sasha, I often agree with your remarks, but don’t you think she kept herself private because of the tightrope between her career and the anti-gay lobby? But it’s true that she’s never chased publicity anyway, and never takes shit.
We love ya Jodie, and hope this is nothing more than a mean rumour aboout you and Cydney.
Soccer Moms unite!
Mamalicious,
I guess that’s the difference between straight people and gay people, I never took the simple anti-gay sentiment into account, because to me there’s nothing there to be ‘against’ if you know what I mean.
It would be very sad if they have broken up – tough on the kids like.
With Jodie, I don’t think her appeal is the sterotypical “conservative Christian mid-western type”, so I think in this case the anti-gay thing is irrelevant.
I did know that Jody Foster was gay.
I was shucked and sad at the same time,because Jody seems to be a nice conservative woman;not a gay one. ! that is so disgusting!! Iam glad they broke up. Children deserve to have a mom and dad; not 2 moms or 2 dads.
You were shucked by the fact that Jodie Foster is gay? That sounds sore 😯 – especially when only a broken home will take the hurt away 🙄
Of course we knew Jodie was gay. But we thought she was the sensitive loyal type. Shame she’s splitting up such a long term relationship which provided stability for her kids. Jodie, you surpise us!
Please let it be rumours and lies, please let it be rumours and lies. I don’t want another actor I like to head towards the Dying Alone path, no matter how he/she announced zen peace about living alone. This especially sucks considering the background of Evil/Dead Gay Stereotype, that there is no happy ending in wait for those of us with a more colourful dating option.
