Jodie Foster has split with her longterm partner Cydney Bernard, according to tabloid reports.

The news comes just five months after the intensely private star paid tribute to her alleged partner of 14 years at an award ceremony. The 45-year-old, who had never before acknowledged Bernard in public, gushed about her during an acceptance speech at a Los Angeles film gala in December.

Foster called her friend, "My beautiful Cydney, who sticks with me through with me through the rotten and the bliss."

An insider tells the National Enquirer, "Jodie breaking up with Cydney is shocking. Right now it's the best kept secret in Hollywood, and it's not just because Jodie is legend and an intensely private person, either. She and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together, the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this split could be monumental."

The couple has two adopted children together; Charles, nine, and Kit, six. Foster's publicist was unavailable for comment as WENN went to press.
