The couple looked very content as they strolled along having gone for a quick shopping trip at Barneys New York.

Alexandra slung her arm over Jodie's shoulder as they enjoyed a quiet moment together.

And later in the day, Jodie, who was dressed down in a T-shirt and yoga pants, showed off her own band as she dropped her car off at a body shop in LA. Before Alexandra, Jodie had been in a 20 year relationship with female producer Cydney Bernard. They split in 2008. They have two sons together: Charles, aged 15, and Kit, aged 13.

Alexandra dated Ellen for over three years with their relationship ending in 2004, reportedly because the Oscar host met actress Portia de Rossi, who she has since wed.



Foster came out as gay during an acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards in 2013.

'This is not going to be a big coming-out speech tonight because I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago back in the stone age – in those very quaint days when a fragile girl would open up to trusted friends and family and coworkers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her,' she said during the awards show.
