As reported by TMZ, Jamie Foxx is receiving care in an outpatient rehab facility in Chicago, and has been visited by his daughters and other family.
Foxx’s daughter Corinne made an announcement on Friday on Instagram, setting the record straight about her dad’s recent hospitalization. She said he has been out of the hospital for weeks already and is recuperating. She thanked everyone for their support and prayers and said there would be further updates. She added, “In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!” She said the rumors about his poor prognosis were untrue.
Recently, Foxx broke his silence, expressing gratitude to his fans in a heartfelt message on Instagram.
After spending a few weeks in the hospital due to an undisclosed “medical complication,” the renowned Oscar-winning actor informed his fans he’s feeling blessed, writing, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.”
In his Instagram story, Foxx also gave a shout out to Nick Cannon, who will fill in as host of Beat Shazam during his absence. Jamie thanked Nick and assured fans he’d be back soon.
Beat Shazam is an American TV game show which premiered on Fox in May 2017.
Foxx’s hospitalization took movie fans by surprise, and everyone has been hoping for his swift recovery. While not much information has been shared about his condition, fans eagerly await Foxx’s return to hosting duties.
On April 12, Corinne revealed that her dad experienced a medical complication while filming the Netflix movie Back in Action, featuring Glenn Close and Cameron Diaz.
Fortunately, news came later that Jamie’s health was improving. Though still in the hospital under observation, he was awake and alert. Doctors continued to run tests, but he was in good hands. Quick thinking and great care helped him on the path to recovery. Meanwhile, production on the Netflix film resumed, with Jamie’s stunt and photo doubles stepping in during his recovery.
As Nick Cannon covers for Jamie as host of Beat Shazam, Kelly Osbourne will also join the show, taking over the DJ booth—a position previously held by Foxx’s daughter, Corinne.
