Charles Bernard Foster is the first-born son of Jodie Foster, the two-time Oscar-winning actress. Although his mother Jodie is immensely popular in the media, the identity of Charles Foster’s father remains off the market. So, many people have questioned who is the biological father of Jodie Foster’s child.

Charles has all grown up now and one obvious question is if the star kid is also following in his mother’s footsteps. So, in today’s article, let’s take a closer look at several unknown facts about Charles, including his college, age, and career interests.

Take a look at the following headings!

How Was Jodie Foster’s Son Charles Bernard Foster Born? All About His Mother’s Pregnancy

Foster was born via artificial insemination on 20th June 1998. His mother, Jodie Foster gave birth to him after twelve hours of labor at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, in Los Angeles. According to her publicist Pat Kingsley, the baby was born at 5:53 a.m. and weighed 7 and a half pounds, and measured 20.5 inches at the time of his birth.

Talking of the pregnancy, Foster initially kept it private but later it came to know that the actress went to a Los Angeles clinic to pick the sperm of a dark-haired, 6-foot, Ph.D. scientist with a 160 IQ.

While talking about motherhood, Foster once said, it is “more artistic than anything I’ve ever done.” Furthermore, the award-winning actress said of the pregnancy as “the biggest adventure of my life.”

Besides, when Jodie was pregnant with the second child, one associate of hers said,

“Charlie changed her life, and now she wants him to have a baby brother or sister to play with.”

The source continued,

“She has been such a wonderful mother to Charlie that it was only a matter of time before she became pregnant again. It was always Jodie’s intention to have more than one child. At her time of life she is much more interested in being a down-to-earth good mother than an actor or a film star.”

Since the birth of Charles, one of the most searched queries is about his biological father. Nevertheless, the answer to the question still remains behind closed doors. But, back then, there were rumors that late Hollywood producer Randy Stone was Jodie Foster’s son Charles’ father.

The rumor was supported by the fact that Randy is Jodie’s ex-partner. However, they weren’t dating at the time of her first child’s birth and the rumor later turned out to be nothing more than a rumor. As a matter of fact, Jodie and Stone dated for a long time and also attended a number of Hollywood gala events together until the producer died of a heart attack in Feb 2017.
