Jamie Foxx Preparing to Be a Father Again at 58

His 2023 brain bleed prompted a life reassessment that led him to embrace parenthood after a perspective-changing run-in with Al Pacino.

Overview

  • Foxx confirmed in a joint E! News interview that he and girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp are expecting their first child together and that he was initially "a little on the fence" about becoming a dad again at 58.
  • He said a chance encounter with Al Pacino eased his age-related worries, a detail he described in the interview published Thursday.
  • Foxx and his eldest daughter Corinne spoke about the pregnancy together, and Corinne publicly expressed excitement and support for her father’s next chapter.
  • The actor cites his 2023 medical emergency—a brain bleed that led to a stroke—as a turning point that reshaped his priorities and helped him decide to welcome a new child.
  • The couple have kept their relationship private and outlets differ slightly on when they were first linked and on a brief early-2025 split, and the family’s focus now shifts to the birth and how it may affect Foxx’s personal and professional life.
