Just pipped to the post by Julia Roberts for the title of world’s best actress in a recent Empire magazine poll, Jodie Foster was revelling in a far more important role this week. That of new mother – second time around.
The 38-year-old actress gave birth to son number two, Kit Foster, in a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday. Although he arrived a month earlier than planned, 6lb 3oz Kit is doing fine, as is his mother. “There is no reason to raise any red flags – everything was normal,” announced Jodie’s publicist Pat Kingsley.
The fiercely private double Oscar winning actress is as secretive about the paternity of Kit as she was about her first born Charles, who turned three in July. “I’m not going to discuss the father, the method or anything of that nature,” she said when Charles was born. She has maintained her silence ever since. Both children are believed to have been conceived by artificial insemination.
When the actress announced her second pregnancy, the question of paternity rose once more, but Jodie’s response was simply: “I’m not going to answer that.” Hollywood rumours point to her close friend 42-year-old 20th Century Fox executive Randy Stone as the father, however.
The Silence Of The Lambs star says she plans to raise her kids as a single mother in the same way she was raised herself.
