Corinne Foxx, the daughter of renowned actor Jamie Foxx, recently announced her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Joe Hooten, through Instagram posts displaying their romantic moments on a boat. Their relationship began around 2018 when both attended the University of Southern California.
Corinne, born in 1994, graduated from USC with a degree in public relations in 2019. She ventured into acting, appearing in various shows and films like “Uncaged,” “Safety,” and “Dollface.” Her early cameo was alongside her father in “The Jamie Foxx Show” when she was six. Corinne also has a successful career in modeling, having walked the runway for prestigious brands like Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, and Kanye West’s Yeezy line during New York Fashion Week events.
Apart from her entertainment career, Corinne is a dancer and has appeared in music videos like Pharrell’s “Happy,” which she also performed live at the 86th Academy Awards in 2013. She’s well-known as the DJ on the musical game show “Beat Shazam” and won a Creative Arts Emmy in 2020 for her role in “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Good Times.”
Corinne has transitioned to behind-the-scenes roles, serving as an executive producer on shows like “Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!” and “Below The Belt,” a documentary focusing on endometriosis awareness. She battled endometriosis herself in 2018 and is an ambassador for the Endometriosis Foundation of America.
Moreover, she co-hosts the podcast “Am I Doing This Right?” alongside Natalie McMillan, discussing the intricacies of adulthood. Corinne has a half-sister, Anelise Bishop, from Jamie Foxx’s relationship with Kristin Grannis.
Corinne’s mother, Connie Kline, met Jamie Foxx in 1993 while he was a stand-up comedian. Although details about Kline are scarce, sources indicate she had a brief relationship with Foxx in the early ’90s. Connie spent time in the US Air Force and now works as an accountant at CK Financial. Despite being gifted a house and a car by Jamie Foxx, Connie intentionally avoids the limelight, consistent with Foxx’s desire for privacy in his relationships. Corinne, however, has occasionally shared glimpses of her mother on social media, praising her strength and resilience.
Connie maintains a relatively low profile on social media, occasionally posting photos of Corinne and her other daughter, whose name is not disclosed publicly. Jamie Foxx has emphasized the importance of a partner who respects his privacy in interviews, encouraging discretion in his relationships.
