Jodie Foster is another big star who's had to put up with years of speculation about her sexuality during a time when it would have been less socially acceptable to be publicly gay. Rumors about her started as early as 1991, when rights activists took exception to what they saw as homophobic themes in her hit movie 'Silence of the Lambs' and tried to paint her as a hypocrite for appearing in the film. She never publicly responded to the claims, only acknowledging that she was in a relationship with a woman for the first time during a speech at a charity event in 2007.
Foster was in a relationship with Cydney Bernard for years, a relationship that led to the birth of two sons, but it ended only a year after she came out. She's since found happiness with photographer and fellow actress Alexandra Hedison, who she started dating in 2011 and went on to marry in the April of 2014.
