Oscar-Winner Jodie Foster Marries Ellen's Ex

Jodie Foster has married her girlfriend Alexandra Hedison.

The two-time Oscar winner has been dating the 44-year-old photographer for almost a year.

The couple have kept their relationship private but have been seen together at events in Los Angeles and New York.

Few details have been revealed about their wedding which was at the weekend.

Hedison dated TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres for three years before splitting in 2004.

Foster, 51, made a speech at last year's Golden Globes which was widely seen as her official coming-out.

She split from her previous partner Cydney Bernard in 2008 after 20 years together.

The couple have two sons, who Foster describes as "my reason to breathe and to evolve, my blood and soul".

Foster is best known for playing FBI agent Clarice Starling in The Silence Of The Lambs for which she won her second Oscar. Her first came for her role in The Accused.
