Personal Life
Life
Jamie’s private life is well-known for being kept under wraps. He has two daughters, Corinne (b.1994) and Anelise (b.2009). Corinne, the daughter, is a model and actress who appeared as a co-host with Foxx on “Beat Shazam.”
Following her split from Tom Cruise in 2012, Foxx and Katie Holmes were in a long-term relationship, but reports surfaced of their relationship ending in August 2019.
In April 2003, Jamie found himself in an incident at Harrah’s Casino in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he and his sister were escorted out for failure to show identification. This resulted in charges of battery on police officers, resisting arrest, trespassing, and disturbing the peace. Foxx pled no contest to disturbing the peace and received two years of probation and a $1,500 fine.
On January 18, 2016, Foxx bravely rescued a drunk driver from a burning vehicle that had crashed outside his home, after the truck rolled over multiple times into a ditch.
Health Issues
In early April 2023, while filming a movie with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Jamie faced a medical emergency. After being hospitalized for nearly a month, his family requested prayers. Corinne mentioned her father’s “medical complication,” without providing further details.
Real Estate
In Tarzana, California, Jamie bought a 5,400-square-foot home for $930,000 in 1997, which he later sold for $2.23 million in June 2008.
In Hidden Valley, California, he acquired a 40+ acre estate for $10.5 million in March 2007. The estate, with a 17,000-square-foot home, ten bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, an Olympic-sized pool, and a professional-sized basketball court, is estimated to be worth over $20 million with a Westlake Village address. Foxx’s heroism was displayed in January 2016 when he saved a man from a car crash near his Westlake estate just before the car exploded, using scissors to cut the driver from his seatbelt.
