Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Corinne Foxx Announces Her Engagement To Boyfriend Joseph Hooten
Jamie Foxx's eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx –whom he shares with ex Connie Kline– is one step closer to becoming a married woman.
With a heart filled with love (and all the feels), Corinne took to Instagram on Sunday (Dec. 17) to announce that she and her boyfriend, Joseph Hooten, are engaged, as reported by Huff Post. According to Jamie, Hooten asked him for Corinne’s hand in marriage.
Corrine broke the exciting news with a carousel of black and white snaps of her and Hooten photographed on a boat. The first image in the sequence shows her smiling from ear to ear while hugging Hooten as she rests her hand on the back of his head. Although her gorgeous smile is enough to make hearts melt, the new sparkly rock on her finger stole the show.
"From the first time I saw you, I knew you were my forever 💍❤️," she captioned the post.
More photos within the post highlight the couple embracing each other with a hug as her hair blows in the wind, while in another, her soon-to-be-hubby plants a sweet kiss onto her cheek.
The comment section of her post is filled with love and support for the newly engaged twosome, including her father and some of his famous co-stars.
The Oscar-winner responded to Corrine's post on his IG account and dropped precious words about the love birds.
“@corinnefoxx @joe.hooten you are a perfect example of what being in love is…. You care about each others life mental and physical… and you have each other’s back… congratulations on your engagement…” he penned in the caption of the post. Jamie also revealed that Hooten reached out to him for his blessing. “@joe.hooten when you whispered to me a while back that you were gonna ask my baby girl to marry you I had tears of joy in my soul… 🙏🏾❤️.”
The proud father continued, “@corinnefoxx you have… and have always had a special place in my heart… you deserve love abundantly… so again congratulations you too… can’t wait to walk you down that isle..”
Garcelle Beauvais —who worked opposite of Jamie on the 90s sitcom "The Jamie Foxx Show"— said, "Yasssss congratulations," while Kerry Washington –who starred alongside him in "Django Unchained" and "Ray"– added "CONGRATULATIONS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."
It's unclear when these two first entered each other's orbit, but according to Page Six, Corinne and Hooten were classmates at USC.
While they have maintained a low profile on social media, there have been cute moments between them on the 'gram.
In 2020, Corinne posted a cute picture of them enjoying "the great outdoors," while in Montana.
Then, in September 2019, the couple had a day out at Zion National Park where she took a selfie of them with a horse. "Spent the weekend with a couple of studs 💕🐴🏔."
During the summer of that year, she and her beau were captured standing on the sand at a beach in Florida as the sun began to set.
"What a hoot!" she said in the caption.
