Jodie Foster And Cydney Call It Quits

Ms Foster revealed her domestic situation for the first time a speech to a gathering of fellow Hollywood stars in Decemeber.

The 45-year-old star of Panic Room, The Accused and Silence Of The Lambs, who was collecting an award, pointedly thanked: “My beautiful Cydney, who sticks by me through all the rotten and the bliss.”

It was her first public recognition of 54-year-old Miss Bernard, who shared the actress’s home and the care of her sons, Charlie, nine, and six-year-old Kit.

However, the National Inquirer magazine claims the pair have now parted ways.

A source is quoted in the publication as saying: “Jodie’s break up with Cydney is shocking.

“She and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together - the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this could be monumental.”

Foster, who, at the age of 14, found early stardom playing a child prostitute alongside Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, met Miss Bernard in 1993 on the set of Sommersby.

For several years the two women have worn matching Tiffany eternity rings on their wedding fingers, and Bernard was with the actress throughout both her labours.

Friends say Miss Foster has refused to employ household staff for fear that details of her home life would leak out.

She refuses to answer the telephone and until recently did not have a mobile phone.

She has remained terrified of stalkers, say those in her circle, ever since John Hinckley - who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981 - claimed he had planned the killing to impress her.
