Jamie Foxx, the multifaceted actor and comedian, recently made waves with his new Netflix special, What Had Happened Was… In it, he not only addressed past health scares but also delivered some surprising revelations about his dating preferences, causing quite a stir among fans and the media alike.
The Evolution of Foxx’s Celebrity Crushes
Years before his recent declarations about dating, Jamie Foxx shared insights into his celebrity crushes, revealing a list that included some of Hollywood’s most renowned actresses. Among them were Halle Berry, whom he whimsically included in his “pass list,” and Jennifer Lawrence, who Foxx noted for having “some hood in her.”
This comment came after an encounter with Lawrence’s mother, which seemed to clarify the Hunger Games star’s bold charisma for Foxx. He reminisced about Lawrence’s performance in American Hustle, particularly a memorable scene where she confronts another character in a bathroom, showcasing her fiery screen presence.
A Shift in Perspective
However, in a humorous twist during his Netflix special, Foxx sang about being “cured” of dating white women. With a playful piano ballad, he declared his return to dating within his own racial community, jokingly swearing off white girls with a litany of stereotypes in a light-hearted manner. Yet, he ended his performance with a cheeky amendment, saying, “No more white girls — in public.”

He was previously in a relationship with actress Katie Holmes, with whom he made a rare public appearance at the 2019 Met Gala. Despite their efforts to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, they eventually parted ways due to differing lifestyles.
More recently, Foxx has been linked to Alyce Huckstepp, with their relationship coming into the public eye occasionally, including at his daughter Corinne Foxx’s wedding in September 2022.
