    Watch: Jamie Foxx’s Girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp Pregnant, Expecting Their First Baby Together

    To hear Jamie Foxx tell it, he’s already found his dreamgirls. 

    “You know how you take a picture on your cell phone and you hit that first filter and it brightens up?” he explained to Zuri Hall on Live From E!: Golden Globes in January 2025. “That’s how life looks now. Everything is altered.”

    It wasn’t just that the Oscar winner, 58, had survived the life-threatening brain bleed and stroke that nearly felled him in 2023, it was also how daughters Corinne, 32 (with ex Connie Klein) and Anelise, 17, (with ex Kristin Grannis) had been by his side for each excruciating step. 

    “We cliche so much, ‘Live life like it’s your last,'” Foxx continued. “But when it actually happens to you, you appreciate it more. I appreciate these moments more.” As he’d detailed in his December 2024 comedy special Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was, his daughters “kept me alive,” he added. “And I’m just blessed, man, ’cause it was over.”

    But also life is just getting started in a lot of ways now that Foxx is expecting a baby with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, her first child.

    Jamie Foxx: Movie Star

    While Foxx’s life is often filtered into his work, Huckstepp has operated largely out of the spotlight. But she’s been a large part of his world since at least 2023.

    Who Is Alyce Huckstepp?

    So, what had happened was the onetime fitness instructor and Foxx were intially spotted in August 2023 dining with a group at Nobu in Malibu, Calif., essentially soft-launching their romance. 

    Though Huckstepp doesn’t appear to have a public social media page and remains largely out of the spotlight, she was also in the crowd at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre when Foxx filmed his Netflix comedy special What Had Happened Was in October 2024. And she could be seen in an Instagram video Gayle King posted from backstage.

    Among the topics Foxx tackled in the special—in addition to his health scare—was his past relationships, which included a romance with longtime pal Katie Holmes. 

    “Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured,” he joked while performing a number on the piano. “I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls. I’m serious, no more white girls.”

    When Did Jamie Foxx and Alyce Huckstepp Begin Dating?

    Unclear if Foxx met her at a beauty salon with a baby Louis Vuitton under her arm, but Huckstepp was on hand for the August 2022 premiere of his Netflix film Day Shift in Los Angeles. (Though she attended with a female friend and didn’t pose with the actor.) 

    According to People, Huckstepp was also on set when Foxx filmed a BetMGM commercial in July 2023—several months after he suffered the brain bleed that turned into a terrifying life-or-death situation. 

    And Huckstepp was among the few that were allowed into his inner circle during that period, per Us Weekly. “I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through,” Foxx explained in a July 2023 Instagram video. “I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that.”

    Did Jamie Foxx and Alyce Huckstepp Break Up?

    Briefly, anyway. According to multiple outlets, the couple ended their romance in January 2025 after several years together. 

    But four months later, the pair were back at Nobu in Malibu. And that October, they spent time at Miami’s waterfront eatery Kiki on the River.

    When Was Alyce Huckstepp’s Pregnancy Confirmed?

    E! News confirmed May 12 that Foxx was adding another baby to his den. While plenty of milestones await for the actor, simply hearing his girls call him “Dad” already ranks high on his list of top moments. 

    Among the highlights of his parenting journey, he detailed on Ellen DeGeneres‘ Dad Confessions web series in 2021, “Watching them light up when you come into a room. Helping them work out a problem that you’ve probably gone through.”

    And while he’ll be bringing plenty of experience with him as he navigates another newborn phase, he’s not the first to clock in with more than a few hours on the job. Check out other dads who welcomed kids later in life.

    Jeff GoldblumThe joie de vivre may channel agelessness, but the Jurassic Park star was technically 62 when he and wife Emilie Livingston welcomed son Charlie Ocean on July 4, 2015. Brother River Joe was born April 7, 2017.In 2022, Goldlbum called being a dad at 70 “revivifying”—because, of course he did.Seeing Emilie “in this new role is unbelievable,” he gushed on TODAY. “She’s heroic beyond imagination.” And, in general, parenting was “challenging and it’s sometimes maddening and very volatile. As you know, at 3 and 5, 5 and 7, they can be like feral creatures unleashed. Oh yeah, and sweet and amazing. It’s great.”

It’s a lot of work—you need a lot of time. I see my children on the road, but they behaved so badly [laughs] because they have everything open. And I see their behavior and I think, Oh, they’re just behaving like me.”For instance, they didn’t want to go to bed when they were told, or get up when they were supposed to. “They get into this rock ‘n’ roll routine,” he said. “And I think, ‘Oh my god, 6 and you’re already doing it.'”

    Steve MartinIt was only grown-ups in the building until Martin was 67 and he and second wife Anne Stringfield welcomed a daughter in early 2013—whose name they’ve never even shared, let alone a photo.”If I’d had a child earlier, I would have been a lousy father,” the Father of the Bride star told AARP The Magazine in 2017, “because I would have misplaced my attention on my career.”Taking stock of the trajectory his life had taken, he noted, “It’s been a gentle up-hill slope to a real, real happiness.”

    Anthony QuinnLust for Life was the name of the game for the two-time Oscar winner and father of 12.Quinn had five children with first wife Katherine DeMille (Cecil B.‘s daughter), three with second spouse Jolanda Addolori, two with Friedel Dunbar, and two with eventual third wife Katherine Benvin, whom he married in 1997. At the time he was 82 and their daughter Antonia Patricia Rose Quinn was 4 and son Ryan Nicholas Quinn was 17 months old.The actor and Benvin were together until his death at 86 in 2001.”I think that this time I’m a better father,” Anthony, by then living with his family in Rhode Island, said on Larry King Live in 2000. “I’m absolutely madly in love with my two children, not that I don’t love the others. I have great love affairs with my other kids. But these kids I haven’t spent a day away from. I only spent one day, and I resented that day that I had to go away.”

    Charlie ChaplinThe silent-film pioneer and iconic “Little Tramp” shared sons Charles Spencer Chaplin III (May 5, 1925) and Sydney Earl Chaplin (March 30, 1926) with second wife Lita Grey and then had eight children with fourth wife Oona O’Neill, who was 18 when she married the 54-year-old in 1943 (much to her playwright father Eugene O’Neill‘s consternation).The pair would remain together until Chaplin’s death in 1977 at 88, welcoming Geraldine Leigh (July 31, 1944), Michael John (March 7, 1946), Josephine Hannah (March 28, 1949), Victoria Agnes (May 19, 1951), Eugene Anthony (Aug. 23, 1953), Jane Cecil (May 1957), Annette Emily (December 1959) and Christopher James (July 8, 1962).Chaplin was 73 when Christopher was born.Geraldine played her own paternal grandmother, Hannah Chaplin (who had three sons by as many fathers), in the 1992 biopic Chaplin starring Robert Downey Jr. as the titular legend. “There was no rule that we weren’t allowed to see other movies, but the movies that were shown in our house were Charlie Chaplin movies,” she recalled to the Baltimore Sun at the time. “And one didn’t talk of other comedians like Laurel and Hardy. I think he did it because he was very insecure and couldn’t bear that someone else’s film might be good.”

    Elton JohnThe constantly touring Rocket Man couldn’t be slowed down in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s or ’00s. But when he was 63, John and husband David Furnish kicked the next decade off right, welcoming son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John via surrogate on Dec. 25, 2010. The same surrogate carried their younger son, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, who was born Jan. 11, 2013.”Having children changed everything about my life,” John told The Mirror in 2016. “I’ve learned that the simplest things in life—like having a minute with them—are worth more than any painting, any photograph, any house or any hit record.”Furnish, who’s 12 years John’s junior, told the U.K.’s Sunday Times in 2015, “I’m actually very grateful that I’ve come to parenting when I’ve come to parenting. Nothing prepares you for the responsibility and the changes in life…I feel much more comfortable in my skin professionally that I’d have felt 20 years ago.”

I paid a price for that because at the end of the day, nothing is more important than your home life.”
