Jodie Foster on motherhood and keeping her private life private

Jodie Foster has said that even though her sons are only six and nine years old, she’s anticipating them growing up and leaving home.

She told More magazine recently: “When my kids were tiny, I was caught up in the identity of being a mom. You’re still changing diapers, and it feels like it’s going to last forever.”

She added that nine year old son Charlie is already beginning to drift away (”he’d much rather be with friends”) but there are advantages to him getting older too: “I like having these conversations with him where I talk about my passions and he talks about his.”

Jodie is keen to keep her own - and the boys - lives private and has yet to reveal the identity of the boys’ father or fathers: “My life is my life. I’m not going to change my life for anybody. I don’t have any problems with it. I just don’t talk about my health, my dad, who I voted for or what I think of the death penalty, because that would be trivializing my life, selling it for a magazine.”
