Jamie Foxx tagged both of his daughters in a warm Instagram caption today. He told them he loved them and said he was having “a great day.”
The post called out Anelise Foxx and Corinne Foxx by name. He told Anelise he loved her, then turned to Corinne with the same message, adding “see you in a minute.” It sounds like the two were in different spots, with Corinne on her way to meet him. That little detail gives the caption a genuinely personal feel.
Foxx has been a familiar face in entertainment for over three decades. A message this easy and cheerful from him carries a little extra warmth these days. In April 2023, he was hospitalized. His family described it as a medical emergency. He later confirmed it was a stroke. The recovery took months. He’s spoken in interviews about how serious things got. He’s said his daughters and his faith were central to getting him through.
Corinne Foxx has been part of her dad’s public world for a long time. She joined him as co-host on Beat Shazam. The music guessing game show ran on Fox for multiple seasons. It made for an adorable father-daughter TV pairing. Corinne has also carved out her own career. She has acting credits and a Miss Golden Globe title from 2016.
Anelise, Foxx’s younger daughter with Kristin Grannis, tends to keep a lower profile. She doesn’t show up in entertainment headlines often. But she appears in her dad’s posts often enough. Fans know she matters a great deal to him.
Foxx got his start as a cast member on In Living Color in the early 1990s. From there, he built a steady film and music career. His portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 biopic Ray won him the Academy Award for Best Actor. He also starred in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained in 2012. He’s a Grammy-winning recording artist on top of all that. Stand-up comedy shaped his comedic instincts early on. Those instincts still show whenever he’s on camera.
The 2023 health scare shifted how a lot of people see him. He’d been such a high-energy constant in entertainment for so long. The hospitalization was genuinely unsettling. He’s since been open about his recovery, doing press and taking on new work with what feels like genuine gratitude for being back.
A post like today’s fits that mood. It wasn’t teasing a project or dropping big news. It was a father on a Sunday afternoon, feeling good, making sure his daughters knew he loved them. He’s navigated a lot these past few years. A great day with both of his girls sounds exactly right.
