Jamie Foxx's Daughter Is by His Side at Hospital - Single Dad Became Closer with Her after Choosing Not to Marry

• Jamie Foxx is conscious and alert at the hospital after experiencing a medical complication.
• Friends and family have gathered around the actor-musician to show their support including his 29-year-old daughter Corinne.
• Although Foxx's relationship with Corinne wasn't always smooth sailing, it got better after he chose to prioritize their relationship and never get married.

It's been difficult for Jamie Foxx to balance being a dad, an artist, and a celebrity that needed to attend multiple events in a month. His mindset had always been to fix things, without realizing that his way of fixing things made his daughter Corinne dislike him.

When Corinne was a kid, Foxx was rarely around because of his busy schedule. Whenever he did have time, he chose to take her to Disneyland.

Little did he know, he was entrusting all the emotional potholes to Mickey Mouse, a fictional character whom he hoped would fill in the void left by his parenting. It would take years for him to realize that all the trips, gifts, and material things didn't matter to Corinne.

"Disneyland and all those things was [sic] great, but all I wanted was to kick it with you," she told him during a therapy lesson. At 10, Corinne was joining Foxx in parties, meeting the likes of Drake.

She recalls heading to a club one night while Foxx was DJing, and she was watching everyone around her thinking "I know I'm not supposed to be here right now."

At the time, Foxx wanted Corinne to see what his work was all about so she could understand why he was always away. He realized that it was difficult to juggle being the successful artist he wants to be with the demands of fatherhood.

Despite learning the hard way what Corinne really thought of him, the artist thanks his daughter for giving him enough space to learn from his mistakes. She taught him that the most important thing he could do as a dad was to be present.

Nowadays, Foxx has a good relationship with his daughter. He's a protective type of dad, who once tried to intimidate his eldest daughter's boyfriend by visiting his house with all of his tough friends.

Corinne only found out years later, and she realized that after seeing her boyfriend so scared back then, it all made sense. Her dad had gotten through to him and did a whole speech.

That relationship never blossomed, and they eventually broke up. Corinne joked that it all made sense to her why – it was because of her dad.

Now that Corinne is an adult, she no longer lives with her dad. However, he does his best to convince her to move back in with him whenever he has the chance to get the conversation going.

The primary reason why Corinne would rather live elsewhere is because of the number of people that live in Foxx's home. Corinne revealed that her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and younger sister live with Foxx in his mansion.

She noted that her dad even brought in five friends to live with him. There were people constantly going in and out of the house, and it was too much for her to bear. At one point, even Ed Sheeran lived in their house for a couple of weeks.

Foxx and his daughter Corinne have come a long way since their therapy sessions. Corinne, who had her own Netflix series called "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!," said that Foxx is "the most supportive dad in the world." Thanks to his support, she is confident to do many things.

Foxx couldn't be more proud of his daughter Corinne, and his younger daughter Annalise. He's glad that despite the turbulent start to his parenting journey, he was able to make up for his mistakes and see his daughters end up okay.

The actor always pens the most touching messages for his daughters on Instagram, showing just how much love he has for them. On Corinne's 28th birthday, he called her the "most beautiful and complete person in the world."

When Corinne was asked to grade Foxx's parenting, she gave him a big "A plus." She's glad to have a dad who thinks the world of her and her sister, and a strong father figure growing up.

The actor shares his eldest, Corinne, with ex-girlfriend Connie Kline, an airforce veteran. He had his youngest daughter Annalise Bishop with ex Kristin Grannis, whom he was first linked to a year before Annalise was born.

Foxx tries to spend as much time with his daughters. Aside from vacationing off to Miami, Florida, or lounging in their home in Westlake, he also tries to take them to important events.

Foxx took Corinne and Anelise to a Black Lives Matter protest back in 2020, and he reflected on how important it was for him to see his children watch the world come together. He said the moment was bittersweet, and he asked his followers to change the world so his daughters didn't have to live the way his generation did.

With two daughters and a booming career on his plate, Foxx has no interest in getting married. The "Annie" actor once admitted that he never believed the "cookie cutter" lifestyle of doing everything by the book was for him.

He cited observing many of his friends' marriages, and how the marriages end up going south once the kids are older. This causes distancing on the part of the kids, and that's something he doesn't want to happen in his family.

While their family dynamic is different than others, it works for them. He's proud to share that his family is filled with love, and that's all that matters to him.

More than his kids, the actor is glad to have his immediate family at home. He wants to share all of the ups and downs of his life with them, and it's worked well for him.

Foxx details more about his family in his memoir, "Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me." Writing the book was a family affair, as the artist asked his two kids for help by asking them to share things from their perspective.

Jamie Foxx's Interesting Love Life

Despite not wanting to get married, Foxx was in a long-term relationship with actress Katie Holmes. They dated for six years beginning in 2013 before calling it quits.

They kept their relationship under wraps, but made some high-profile appearances through the years, like in the 2019 Met Gala. That same year, they ended their relationship.

Holmes was the one who ended their relationship days after Foxx was spotted out with another woman named Sela Vave in Los Angeles. The pair were spotted holding hands leaving a nightclub in West Hollywood.

Around that same time, Holmes was reportedly overheard talking about her former boyfriend. She told her friends: "What Jamie does is his business – we haven't been together for months."

Ultimately, a source revealed to news outlets that Foxx and Holmes didn't have a typical relationship. They lived in different cities and only saw each other occasionally.

During Memorial Day 2019, Foxx was meant to be with Holmes in New York when he canceled two hours before his scheduled flight. He canceled and never made it to New York.

By May 2022, Foxx was out in public with a mystery woman. They were first spotted in the South of France, lounging on a yacht. Foxx was in the country at the time for the Cannes Film Festival.

The new couple was with Foxx's older daughter Corinne, whom he spent a lot of time with during the trip. Months later, the pair was spotted out again, this time in Nobu, Malibu for a date night out in the celebrity-favorite restaurant.

Foxx's Recent Health Scare

While filming "Back in Action" in Georgia, Foxx surprised everyone when he suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital. Initially, the crew of "Back in Action" was notified that Foxx would be late to filming because he was sick.

He never made it to the set and was instead brought to the hospital. Filming was suspended for the day while they tried to figure out what happened with their leading man.

Foxx's camp has refused to identify his illness but updated fans about the actor's situation. It was his daughter Corinne who first announced his health scare on April 12, saying that thanks to the quick and quality care he received, he was on the way to recovery.

Corinne deleted the post weeks later when Foxx was able to make a post of his own. Rather than focusing on his situation, he turned his attention to his friends, colleagues, and fans who sent him love in the past few weeks.

Even medical staff could not explain what had happened to Foxx at first glance. They ran tests to figure out what happened, and he was hospitalized for a while following the confinement.

Foxx made significant improvement while recovering in the hospital. He was reported to have been "alert and awake," and was able to communicate with his family while under observation.

Foxx could no longer go back to the "Back in Action" set, which was scheduled to wrap up filming a couple of weeks after his health scare. A stunt double filled in for him, and another man served as his photo double.

Many celebrities and fans wrote statements of support for the actor during the time. Nick Cannon posted something on Instagram after finding out the news and claimed he had been "saying prayers out loud" for Foxx, whom he considered his brother.

Cannon also hinted on his radio show "The Daily Cannon" that he did a special favor for Foxx amidst his hospitalization. While he didn't reveal what it was, he said it'd be out soon.

Aside from Cannon, Kerry Washington also sent her love by posting a photo of Foxx on her Instagram. "Sending you all the love and prayers my movie huzbin," she captioned. Washington and Foxx played husband-and-wife in "Ray" and "Django Unchained."

Several other celebrities also wrote well-wishes to Foxx, including Steve Harvey, LeBron James, Jennifer Hudson, Tracy Morgan, and Nicole Murphy. Since then, the actor has been doing a lot better and has been able to joke with his family.

The medical emergency he experienced was serious, but he was expected to make a full recovery. If there was one thing to keep him going, it'd definitely be his family, especially his two children.

Foxx has always been vocal about his greatest achievement – it's not his movies, nor is it the songs he's released, but his children. He's proud that no matter how old his kids are, they can still run to him about absolutely anything.

Corinne and Annalise see Foxx as a hero, and it isn't just them. In 2016, Foxx was hailed as a hero when he saved a 32-year-old man named Brett Kyle from his burning car after meeting an accident.

The actor insisted that he wasn't a hero. Rather, he did what he felt was natural to do at the time. Kyle was driving his car when he hit a drainage ditch, causing his car to topple over and burst into flames.

Kyle sustained major injuries to his head, chest, and neck. He recuperated in a hospital for a while, but his family was grateful to Foxx for the role he played in ensuring Kyle still had a second shot at life.

Everyone is awaiting news on Foxx's condition. While he's doing much better, fans will have to wait a while until they can see the actor back in action with his health as his top priority.
