Jamie Foxx is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, but the thought of becoming a father again initially left the actor with some serious doubts.
The “Ray” actor and Huckstepp were first linked in August 2022 when they attended the premiere of “Day Shift” together. Their romance became more serious in 2023, and the pair were later seen vacationing at the Nobu Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico.
After going through a breakup and eventually finding their way back to each other, Foxx and Huckstepp are now preparing to embrace a new chapter.
During a recent conversation with his eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, the actor admitted he questioned whether he was ready to take on fatherhood once more, after 15 years.
“Being my age, I was a little on the fence,” Foxx told E! News. “But then I ran into Al Pacino a few months ago.”
The encounter gave the Oscar winner the reassurance he needed to embrace the idea. “I said, ‘Al, you gonna be back in the drop-off line?’” Foxx recalled asking the octogenarian who welcomed a son two years ago. “I said, ‘Aw man, shoot, I’m good!’”
Foxx is already a father to Corinne, whom he shares with Connie Klein, and Anelise Bishop, whose mother is Kristin Grannis. The forthcoming baby with Huckstepp would be his third child and the couple’s first together.
Fans Celebrated Foxx’s Baby News
Before Foxx publicly confirmed the pregnancy, rumors first surfaced in May that he and Huckstepp were expecting a child.
The news quickly sparked excitement among fans, with one X user celebrating the development and sending their best wishes to the couple as they prepare for parenthood.
Another user described the announcement as a major personal milestone, adding that “Foxx has had quite a journey,” per The Blast.
Jamie Foxx And Huckstepp Reunited Last Year After Their Split
While Foxx and the fitness model are now preparing to welcome their baby, their relationship has not been without its ups and downs.
The couple reportedly broke up in January 2025, and before then, the actor admitted to changing his dating preferences. He performed a song in his Netflix special, “Jamie Foxx What Had Happened Was…” declaring, “I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls.”
However, by August, The Blast reported that Foxx and the Australian model were seen together on a date, appearing to have rekindled their romance.
For the outing, the “Strays” actor wore a patterned shirt with ripped jeans, sneakers, a wide-brimmed hat, silver chains, and shades. Huckstepp paired a sparkling silver bralette under mesh with black pants, heels, a chain purse, and a sleek ponytail.
The ‘Django Unchained’ Star Strongly Reacted To The BAFTA Scandal
Aside from Foxx’s personal life, he has remained outspoken about events in the entertainment industry.
In February, the actor criticized the BAFTA Awards after Tourette’s activist John Davidson was heard using a racial slur during the ceremony.
The incident occurred as actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took the stage to present the evening’s first award, when the offensive word was heard from the audience.
According to The Blast, Foxx did not hold back in expressing his opinion and suggested that Davidson’s use of the word was intentional. “Out of all the words you could’ve said, Tourette’s makes you say that. Nah he meant that sh-t. Unacceptable,” Foxx lamented.
As Foxx’s comments drew reactions, Tourette’s Action, a UK charity, explained that involuntary vocal tics associated with Tourette syndrome are not intentional and do not reflect a person’s beliefs or character.
Foxx Praised Michael B. Jordan After Oscar Win
While speaking out about the incident, Foxx has also celebrated his fellow actor’s wins. Jordan claimed the Best Actor award for his performance as twin brothers in Ryan Coogler’s period vampire film “Sinners.”
During his acceptance speech, Jordan paid tribute to the Black actors who paved the way for his success, including Foxx, Denzel Washington, and Halle Berry.
Per The Blast, Foxx was excited to see the “Creed” star mention him in the ranks of Black performers who have earned recognition.
He reposted a video of Jordan’s speech and wrote, “Words can’t express how proud I am of you. You deserve this and so much more. Congratulations, my brother.”
