The mother and son duo attended the 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Barker Hangar on Saturday.
Jodie shares Kit and her eldest son Charlie, 26, with her expartner Cydney Bernard.
The pair split in 2008 after 15 years together.
Kit towered over his mum in a navy blue suit and white shirt with a black and white polka dot bowtie.
He has kept out of the spotlight over the years and only makes rare red carpet appearances with his mum.
Kit graduated from Princeton in 2024 with a degree in chemistry.
Jodie’s eldest son Charles has followed his mum into acting and appeared in The Coldest Case: The Past Has A Long Memory, Soy Boy and Scarpetta.
In January, Kit attended The Golden Globes Awards at The Beverly Hilton.
Jodie’s son Kit was also beaming widely as he posed beside his mother, with the young man wearing a smart suit.
After posing with her son at the star-studded event, Jodie and Kit headed inside before she picked up the coveted gong for Best Female Actor in a Limited Series for her part in True Detective: Night Country.
Speaking on the red carpet about the gifts her two sons have given her over the years, Jodie gushed: “Joy and play. That was the first gift that they gave me.”
She then recalled: “Being on all fours around the house and making parades with silly musical instruments and rediscovering the world through their eyes, and I feel like that continues to today.”
Doting mother
Jodie Foster and her ex-girlfriend, Cydney Bernard, share two kids: Charlie and Kit.
The Silence of the Lambs star first became a mother on July 20, 1998, when she gave birth to her first son, Charles Bernard Foster.
Then on September 29, 2001, Jodie gave birth to her second son, Christopher Bernard Foster, who is nicknamed Kit.
Speaking at the 2013 Golden Globes, Jodie gushed: “I am so proud of our modern family. Our amazing sons, Charlie and Kit, who are my reason to breathe and to evolve.”
In 2016, Jodie spoke about Kit and how he is “the nicest person” that she has ever met.
Shy and sensitive boy
“My little one is just the nicest person I’ve ever met,” she told People Magazine at the time.
Meanwhile, in another interview with Magic Radio she said “he’s a little sensitive” before noting how she waited “many, many years” for him to watch her in The Silence of the Lambs.
And speaking to The Guardian in 2018, she said: “My younger son is really shy and I can promise you he will never be an actor.”
