It’s always heartwarming when two people who once dated stay friends, and that’s exactly the case with Russell Crowe and Jodie Foster. Even though their romance in the late '90s was short-lived, their bond has only grown stronger over the years. Now, Jodie is urging Russell to take the next big step in his life and finally propose to his long-time girlfriend, Britney Theriot. A source exclusively told Closer that Jodie believes it's time for Russell to settle down and make things official.
An Unbreakable Friendship
According to an insider close to Russell, who’s now 60, there’s an unshakable bond between Jodie and Russell that goes beyond their brief romance. “They’ve been baring their souls to each other for decades,” the source reveals. Jodie, now 61, and Russell have remained close friends since their split in 1999, proving that love doesn’t always have to end in bitterness. Instead, it can evolve into a deep and meaningful friendship.
Jodie's Happy Family Life
Jodie has built a rewarding family life. She’s married to photographer Alexandra Hedison, whom she wed in 2014. Together, they’ve created a beautiful life. Jodie also co-parents her two boys, Kit, 22, and Charles, 26, with her ex-wife, Cydney Bernard. Jodie’s personal life has flourished, and she wants the same happiness for Russell. “Jodie has grown into middle age with Russell, and she wants the best for him, especially in this chapter of his life, where he deserves some peace and a happy home life,” the source explains.

Russell's Journey Through Love
Russell’s romantic life has been a rollercoaster. After a series of short relationships in the late '90s and early 2000s, he married Aussie actress Danielle Spencer in 2003. However, the couple separated in 2012 and finalized their divorce in 2018. They share two sons, Charles, 20, and Tennyson, 18. Despite the challenges, Russell has continued to grow and evolve in his personal life.
Now, Russell is in a relationship with Britney Theriot, and Jodie believes it’s time for him to make it official. “In Jodie’s view, Russell has to make things official with Britney and not keep dragging this relationship on like a never-ending Tinder date,” the source says. Jodie sees Britney as the right partner for Russell and believes that marriage could bring stability and happiness to his life.
Russell met Britney Theriot, a New Orleans native, back in 2013 while filming Broken City. However, they weren’t romantically linked until much later. Their relationship has remained low-key since they were first spotted together on a tennis court in November 2020. The couple made their official debut on the Poker Face red carpet in October 2022, showing the world just how much they mean to each other.
Britney has also formed a strong bond with Russell’s children, which adds to the potential for a happy family life. In July 2022, Russell posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter) with Britney and his two sons in Rome, the setting of his blockbuster hit Gladiator. “Taking the kids to see my old office,” Russell captioned the photo, hinting at the special memories they’re creating together.
Russell's Romantic Side
Russell spoke candidly about his romance with Britney to People in February. He described a magical moment they shared on the dance floor: “I took her into my arms and we danced. Using the type of moves my old man would, spinning her around and bringing her back.” He continued, “Her eyes were sparkling with the fun of it all. For a couple of minutes, [everyone] stopped and watched. It was like a scene from a movie.”
With Jodie’s encouragement and Britney’s charm, it seems the movie could very well end with a proposal and a happily ever after. “The funny thing is,” the source adds, “Russell takes Jodie’s opinions incredibly seriously – he worshiped her when he was coming up as an actor and is still incredibly grateful for their unique friendship.”
