Jodie Dumps 15-Year Partner for New Gal

Posted May 27, 08 11:11 AM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Jodie Foster has traded in Cydney Bernard—her slightly frumpy, older stay-at-home lesbian partner of 15 years—for a younger hotshot screenwriter, the Daily Mail reports. The 45-year-old Oscar-winner met Cynthia Mort two years ago on a movie set and their families became fast friends.

Now they’re planning for a new home and negotiating custody of Foster’s two boys with Bernard and Mort’s twins with her partner. “Everyone thought that Jodie and Cydney were forever,” an insider said. “Mid-life crisis? Well, that would be one way to explain it." Said another source: Mort “must have plain bowled Jodie over.”

"It's the opposite," he said. "She is 45 and she just couldn't be bothered anymore. Before that it would have killed her career." Everett said Hollywood is no more open minded than al-Qaeda or the Taliban. More »

    Why Jodie Foster Finally Stepped 'Out' Jodie Foster’s tentative move out of the closet, at an awards show last week, may be the work of an old friend who, rumor has it, may be the father of her children, the Daily Mail reports.
