Actor and musician Jamie Foxx is set to expand his family, as he announces that he is expecting his third child, marking his first with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp. This news was shared on the daytime talk show ‘Today with Jenna & Sheinelle’, where host Sheinelle Jones congratulated Foxx on the upcoming addition to his family.
During the segment aired on September 23, Jones expressed her excitement for Foxx, stating, “We love love around here. We love babies. I’m here for it. Clap for Jamie Foxx.” Jones, a mother of three herself, reminisced about her positive experiences interviewing Foxx over the years, adding, “He’s a good guy. So congratulations, Jamie Foxx and family.”
Foxx, 58, already has two daughters from previous relationships: 32-year-old Corinne Foxx, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Connie Kline, and 17-year-old Anelise Bishop, from his relationship with Kristin Grannis. His growing family will undoubtedly bring new adventures and challenges.
Recently confirmed by PEOPLE, Foxx and Huckstepp were spotted together in Beverly Hills, where Huckstepp showcased her baby bump in a stylish black tank-top dress. The couple’s joy at this new chapter in their lives was evident as they enjoyed a night out at the upscale restaurant Crustacean.
Foxx has also spoken about his preparations for fatherhood in upcoming interviews, including his recent appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on September 22. In a light-hearted exchange with Kimmel, Foxx joked about the impending arrival: “I got a baby on the way… still got it!” He mused on the reality of becoming a father again at the age of 58, mentioning the amusing yet daunting prospect of rejoining the school run.
The ‘Django Unchained’ star shared anecdotes from a conversation he had with fellow actor Al Pacino, who welcomed a child with his younger partner. “I did run into Al Pacino, so if I was ever on the fence, I wasn’t on the fence when I talked to him,” Foxx recalled. Pacino, who is 84, shared his own experience of being a new father and lightheartedly remarked about the challenges that come with being an older parent.
Foxx, reflecting on the age difference between him and his new baby, joked about future scenarios: “If I’m 58, in 12 years I’ll be 70… you’ll just put a blanket over my thighs, give me some tapioca pudding.” The dialogue with Kimmel showcased Foxx’s trademark humour, as he navigated the ups and downs of late parenthood with a smile.
His upcoming comedy special, ‘Take Care of Yourself’, set to premiere on October 7 on Hulu, gives fans a glimpse into his thoughts and experiences, including those surrounding fatherhood. As the anticipation builds for this new chapter in his life, Foxx’s passion for family clearly remains a guiding force.
As Foxx prepares to embrace fatherhood for the third time, the support and excitement from those around him, including fans and friends, seem to multiply. The heartfelt responses from colleagues like Jones highlight the affection many have for the celebrated star.
In a world keen on celebrity relationships and family news, Foxx’s announcement resonates with many. His humorous yet sincere take on the impending arrival has quickly become a talking point, with fans eager to see how this vibrant actor balances his professional commitments with the joys of parenting once more.
As Jamie Foxx awaits this latest addition to his family, one can expect his journey into fatherhood to be as vibrant and full of character as his illustrious career in entertainment.
