Congrats to Jodie Foster and her new wife Alexandra Hedison.

I can exclusively reveal that the Oscar winner and her photographer girlfriend of almost a year got married this past weekend.

A rep for Foster confirms the happy news.

As E! News first reported, the two started dating sometime last summer.

"It's pretty serious," a source told us in September. "They're totally in love."

Internet chatter about the two began in the summer when the two were photographed together at a technology seminar at Fox Studios in Los Angeles and out to dinner with friends a few days later. Both were at the opening of Alan Cumming's Macbeth in NYC back about a year ago, but they weren't photographed together.

Hedison, who dated Ellen DeGeneres for about three years before things ended in 2004, has had her photography shown in New York and Los Angeles. She also has several acting credits, including playing Dylan Moreland on Showtime's hit lesbian drama series, The L Word, for three seasons.

In accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes last year, Foster thanked her ex Cydney Bernard, spoke of her need for privacy and also declared that she did her "coming out a thousands years ago, in the Stone Age."

Foster and Bernard, who are coparents to sons Charles and Kit, called it quits after 20 years in 2008.
