Jodie Foster’s 21-Year-Old Son Kit Towers Over His Hollywood Star Mother on Rare Family Getaway
Jodie Foster was spotted on a rare outing with her youngest son Kit in New York City on Tuesday afternoon.
The 21-year-old towered over his 60-year-old actress mother as they strolled the bustling streets with Jodie’s devoted wife of nearly a decade, Alexandra Hedison, 53.
Jodie – who was last photographed with Kit in the summer of 2021 – looked casual-cool in a plain white T-shirt and green pants with a bright yellow hat on her head.
The close-knit family stopped at a number of storefronts, including a boba tea shop for drinks to go.
They made the long journey from Manhattan’s West Village to Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan.

Jodie shares Kit, as well as 24-year-old son Charles, with her ex-film producer partner, Cydney Bernard.
She and Cydney separated in May 2008 after 15 years together.
They started dating in 1993 after meeting on the set of the romantic drama, Sommersby.
Both Kit and Charles were conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), but Jodie never revealed the identity of the boys’ father.
She’s also made it a point to keep her and Cydney’s sons out of the Hollywood spotlight.
The Taxi Driver star did take Kit and Charles to the 2013 Golden Globes, where they watched her receive the Cecil B DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.
Her “heroic co-parent” Cydney was also on hand for the honor.
In her acceptance speech, Jodie called her sons “amazing” and credited her with “reason to breathe and evolve.”
The two-time Academy Award winner previously admitted that it’s hard to let them go now that her boys have gotten older.
“Letting go has been a challenge. And that’s what I do now. It’s the worrying thing. That’s what you’ll find,” she said Us weekly in 2018.
“Just because they’re asleep doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about them anymore. There’s a switch that turns on that never turns off.”
After splitting from Cydney, Jodie became romantically linked to screenwriter/producer Cindy Mort in 2009.
They allegedly met while working on the psychological thriller The Brave One in 2006.
