Let’s talk about some Hollywood legends, shall we? Russell Crowe and Jodie Foster have been close friends ever since their whirlwind romance back in the late '90s. Now, sources tell Closer that Jodie is pulling no punches when it comes to encouraging Russell to take the next big step in his relationship with Britney Theriot. The Oscar-winning actress is urging him not to let this one slip away.
An Unbreakable Bond
There's something special about the connection between Jodie and Russell. According to an insider who’s been privy to their conversations, “There’s an unbreakable bond between Jodie and Russell, and they’ve been baring their souls to each other for decades.” This friendship has stood the test of time, even after their brief romance in 1999. Russell, now 60, and Jodie, 61, share a unique camaraderie that transcends Hollywood gossip.
Jodie's Perspective on Love and Marriage
Jodie, who’s happily married to photographer Alexandra Hedison since 2014, has built a rewarding family life with two sons from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard. She’s seen firsthand the joy that commitment can bring. That’s why she’s pushing Russell to stop dragging his feet and make things official with Britney.

As the source reveals, “Jodie has had a very rewarding family life and has really grown into middle age with Russell by her side. She wants the best for him, especially now as he enters a new chapter in his life where peace and happiness are within reach.”
Russell's Journey Through Love
Russell hasn’t always had smooth sailing in matters of the heart. After a series of short-lived relationships in the late '90s and early 2000s, he married Australian actress Danielle Spencer in 2003. Their union lasted for nearly a decade, but they parted ways in 2012, finalizing their divorce in 2018. They remain co-parents to their two sons, Charles and Tennyson.
“Jodie sees this as Russell’s chance to find lasting love again,” the source adds. “She believes he owes it to himself and Britney to stop treating their relationship like an endless Tinder date and make it official.”
Russell and Britney: A Quiet Love Story
Russell met Britney Theriot back in 2013 while filming Broken City. Although they weren’t linked romantically at the time, their connection blossomed over the years. Fast forward to November 2020, when photos emerged of the couple getting cozy on a tennis court, and it became clear that something was brewing between them.
Their first official public appearance came in October 2022, walking the red carpet for Poker Face. Since then, Britney has become a beloved part of Russell’s family, bonding with his sons. In a touching moment, Russell shared a photo on X of Britney and his boys in Rome, captioning it, “Taking the kids to see my old office,” referring to the iconic setting of Gladiator.
Russell opened up to People in February about their romance, describing 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. 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.”

Will Jodie's Advice Prevail?
With Jodie’s encouragement, will Russell finally pop the question? The source suggests that Russell values Jodie’s opinions deeply. “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.”
So, will this story end like a romantic comedy, with a proposal and a happily ever after? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Jodie Foster isn’t holding back when it comes to giving her two cents.
