Born Eric Marlon Bishop, actor and musician Jamie Foxx has won numerous major awards including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy. Though his work is widely known, he is renowned for keeping his love life private, even though he has been transparent about his views on marriage and commitment.
In 2021, the actor gave an explanation of his views on marriage to Men’s Health, saying, “Weirdly, though, if I’m in a relationship that I dig… I’m good.”
In Act Like You Got Some Sense, Foxx’s memoir from 2021 also mentioned this. “I’ve simply never been persuaded that getting married was a wise decision for me. While some of my friends have wonderful marriages, others don’t. And it never seemed like I needed a marriage to provide a secure and loving environment for my kids.” Foxx has never felt the need to tie the knot, but he did spend six years dating his ex-girlfriend, Katie Holmes. In addition, he is the father of two daughters: Anelise, who was previously married to Kristen Grannis, and Corinne, who was previously married to Connie Kline.
