(CNN) — Surprise! Jodie Foster's now a
married woman.
The actress and filmmaker quietly tied the knot
with her girlfriend Alexandra Hedison over the
weekend, a rep for Foster confirmed to CNN.
According to E! Online, which first reported
the news, Foster and Hedison had been dating
for almost a year. The entertainment site took
note of the relationship last September after
photos surfaced of Foster spending time with
Hedison, a photographer/actress and an ex-
girlfriend of Ellen DeGeneres.
No other details are yet available about
Hedison and Foster's nuptials, although we
won't hold our breath: Foster is notoriously
private about her personal life . At the 2013
Golden Globes, she declined to give a "big
coming out speech" as she accepted her Cecil
B. DeMille award, saying that she'd already
come out to those close to her.
"I already did my coming out about a
thousand years ago, back in the stone age,"
Foster said. "If you had been a public figure
from the time that you were a toddler, if you
had to fight for a life that felt real and honest
and normal against all odds, then maybe then
you too might value privacy above all else."
In that speech, Foster expressed gratitude to
her former partner Cydney Bernard, with
whom she has two sons.
