Jodie Foster Could be Forced to Pay Ex-Girlfriend $25m
Jodie Foster could be forced to hand over almost $25m to her ex-lover Cydney Bernard.
Foster, 45, separated from 54-year-old Cydney, her partner of 14 years, in May to start a relationship with writer Cynthia Mort, 51, and reports now suggest she could lose a quarter of her estimated $100 million fortune in alimony payments.
Cydney could legally ask for the massive sum because Jodie accumulated half of her wealth when they were together, according to America's National Enquirer magazine.
Jodie is now keen to keep Cydney happy in order to avoid losing the sum, and Cydney is being allowed to live rent free in one of the actress' homes.
The Panic Room star is also allowing Cydney to regularly visit Jodie's sons Charles, nine, and six-year-old Kit, as well as giving her an annual six-figure payment.
A source said, "She wants Cydney and Cynthia to be friends. Jodie realizes that if Cydney perceives them to be one big happy family, she'd never sue for half her assets."
Jodie -- who has always remained mum on the identity of her children's father -- and Cydney were reportedly seen together in Tokyo earlier this week, where the actress is promoting her new movie Nim's Island.

They should be treated equally
If they were a straight couple they would get everything available to them under the law. If Jodie's ex was with her for 14 years and Jodie accrued half her fortune she is entitled to be treated the same as a straight couple, and receive the same.
Sounds to me like Cydney
Sounds to me like Cydney should stop riding on the coattails of Jodie and get a life of her own! There is nothing here saying they were married and if not Cydney should get nothing! I don't care how long they were together if they were living together and dating then Cydney should be thankful she's had it so good for 14 years! Time for them to move on and stop trying to get a free ride!
