Jamie Foxx is a proud dad to two girls, Corinne Foxx and Anelise Bishop, from two different relationships.
The actor isn’t one to air out his personal life too often but he has been vocal about the roles his daughters played in helping him through his 2023 health issues after he suffered a brain bleed.
“To be honest with you, my sister Deidra Dixon, my daughter Corinne Marie saved my life,” Foxx said in a video posted to Instagram in July 2023. More recently, in his December Netflix special What Had Happened Was, Foxx opened up further about his recovery and the role Anelise played in keeping his spirits high.
“I didn’t want her to see me like that but she snuck into my hospital room with her guitar and she said, ‘I know what my daddy needs … that’s my daddy,'” the dad of two recalled.
Though Foxx’s kids frequently join him on the red carpet, less is known about their mothers.
Who Are Jamie Foxx’s Kids’ Moms?
Foxx, whose real name is Eric Marlon Bishop, became a father for the first time in 1994 when he welcomed Corinne, who now uses his stage name as her last name, with ex-girlfriend Connie Kline. 15 years later, he welcomed Anelise, his ex Kristin Grannis.
All About Corinne Foxx’s Mom, Connie Kline
Foxx’s oldest daughter, Corinne, was born after his 1993 relationship with Connie Kline. Kline is a former school teacher and retired US Air Force veteran.
It is unclear whether Kline and Foxx dated formally but Corinne was on Feb. 15, 1994. Foxx spoke about co-parenting Corinne with Kline in a 2021 interview with E! News’ Daily Pop, saying, “Growing up, Corinne was like, ‘Well, people are married, and that’s what they have, my friends.’ But then a lot of those marriages ended up not doing well as the kids got older.”
He added, “Unfortunately, we saw the kids get fractures from their families. Us, we actually came together more. So I don’t know what that is, I just know that it is different but it’s a whole lot of love.”
Corinne is a University of Southern California alum, with around a dozen credits to her name including roles in 47 Meters Down: Uncaged and Dollface. In 2024, she married Joe Hooten.
