(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.”
