Jodie Foster beamed with pride as her eldest son, Charlie Bernard, joined her on the red carpet for Mariska Hargitay's Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing on Tuesday. The 63-year-old was all smiles beside Charlie, who stood more than a foot taller than his petite mother.
Jodie looked incredible in an ivory silk shirt, black trousers and black sandals, while her 27-year-old son was dapper in a black **** on-up shirt, a gray blazer and dark-wash blue jeans.
The Oscar-winning actress welcomed Charlie with her former partner, Cydney Bernard, in 1998, followed by their son Christopher "Kit" Bernard in 2001. The couple split in 2008, and Jodie went on to marry Alexandra Hedison in 2014.
Charlie is following in his mother's footsteps with his dreams of being an actor, and Jodie has been cheering him on every step of the way. "They're at that age where they're starting their careers, and they're pretty insecure about what's gonna happen," she told People.
"But every time they get a joy, like I got an 'A' or I got this job or I got an audition, my heart just fills up 14 times because I have this memory of a beautiful career that's built on doing meaningful work, and I know that's the recipe for happiness. So I'm just thrilled for them, for the future."
