Kit Bernard Foster Is Very Shy in His Mother Jodie Foster's Words

Kit Bernard Foster is the youngest son of iconic multiple Academy Award-winning actress and director Jodie Foster and her former partner, producer Cydney Bernard. Still, he has no plans to go into showbiz.

Kit Bernard Foster is the son of actress and director Jodie Foster, who shares him with her ex-partner, producer Cydney Bernard. But being Jodie Foster's son doesn't mean Kit was born with an itch for the stage.

The quiet, shy young man is supportive of his mother's dazzling career but prefers to avoid the spotlight. Here is all we know about Jodie Foster's younger boy, Kit Bernard Foster.

Jodie Foster was born in Los Angeles, California, on November 19, 1962. At the age of three, she was cast in a Coppertone TV ad, and at 12, she was already co-starring with Robert De Niro in the cult movie "Taxi Driver" and was nominated for her first Oscar.

Jodie made the difficult transition from child actress to adult star. She went on to win two best actress Academy Awards for her work on "The Silence of the Lambs" with Anthony Hopkins and "The Accused" with Kelly McGillis​​.

Jodie gave birth to Kit after presumably conceiving him in vitro, just like his brother Charles.

Jodie was in a relationship with producer Cydney Bernard for 15 years and shares two children with her, the youngest of which is Kit Bernard Foster, born on September 29, 2001.

Kit's Mother Can Promise He'll Never Become an Actor

According to his mother, young Kit is rarely seen in public, is very shy, and isn't likely to follow in her footsteps into acting. The actress explained that even though his big brother is fascinated by drama, Kit isn't. She said:

"My younger son is really shy and I can promise you he will never be an actor."

Kit's passion seems more musical, and the Academy Award winner revealed that her youngest son is an adept trombone player and "an amazing artist."

Kit Has 2 Mothers - No One Knows Who His Father Is

Jodie and her longtime partner Cydney Bernard met on the set of the 1993 movie "Sommersby," in which she co-starred with Richard Gere. The two women fell in love and welcomed their first child, Charles, in 1998 and their second boy, Kit, in 2001.

Jodie gave birth to Kit after presumably conceiving him in vitro, just like his brother Charles. Though rumors named Hollywood producer Randy Stone as the boys' father, Jodie has never confirmed it, and the identity of the boy's father is unknown.

Even though Kit's mothers split up in 2008, they share custody and are loving co-parents to their boys, and when Jodie came out as a gay woman at the Golden Globes in 2013, she made a moving tribute to Cydney Bernard.

Kit Has an Older Brother

Kit was born a month prematurely at a Los Angeles hospital with a respectable weight of 6 pounds, 3 ounces. He is the actress' second child. His older brother Charles was born in 1998.

According to their mom, the two boys have very different temperaments, and Charles is much more outgoing. He has developed a fascination for acting, and his mom thinks he's got a lot of talent.

Kit is still very young, but he is an enthusiastic supporter of his mother and was there for her, along with his brother, when she was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016.
