text: Congrats to Jodie Foster and her new wife Alexandra Hedison. 
   
   I can exclusively reveal that the Oscar winner and her photographer girlfriend of almost a year got married this past weekend. 
   
   A rep for Foster confirms the happy news. 
   
   As E! News first reported, the two started dating sometime last summer. 
   
   "It's pretty serious," a source told us in September. "They're totally in love." 
   
   Internet chatter about the two began in the summer when the two were photographed together at a technology seminar at Fox Studios in Los Angeles and out to dinner with friends a few days later. Both were at the opening of Alan Cumming's Macbeth in NYC back about a year ago, but they weren't photographed together. ||||| Surprise! Jodie Foster is a married woman, PEOPLE has confirmed. 
   
   The Oscar-winning actress wed photographer Alexandra Hedison over the weekend after dating for almost a year. 
   
   E! Online first reported the news of the couple’s nuptials. 
   
   In 2013, Foster, 51, gave a stirring speech at the Golden Globes that many interpreted as her coming out. 
   
   “This is not going to be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the Stone Age – in those very quaint days when a fragile girl would open up to trusted friends and family and coworkers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her,” she said during the awards, before thanking her ex-partner Cydney Bernard, the mother of her two sons.

The 51-year-old Oscar winner married photographer girlfriend Alexandra Hedison, 44, over the weekend, reports E! Online. The two had been dating almost a year, notes People.
