Inside Jamie Foxx’s Private Romance With Girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp

by

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

He told Zuri Hall on Live From TopMob: Golden Globes that life feels like looking at a photo with a filter on your phone – everything appears touched up and isn’t quite as it seems.

The 58-year-old Oscar winner didn’t just overcome a severe brain bleed and stroke that almost took his life in 2023, but he also had the unwavering support of his daughters, 32-year-old Corinne (from his relationship with Connie Klein) and 17-year-old Anelise (from his relationship with Kristin Grannis), who were with him through every difficult moment.

It’s easy to say things like ‘live every day like it’s your last,’ Foxx explained, ‘but you truly value life when you’re facing a serious situation.’ He said he’s especially grateful for these moments. As he shared in his December 2024 comedy special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was, his daughters were a huge source of strength and helped him through a difficult time. He feels incredibly lucky to be alive, saying, ‘It could have easily gone the other way.’

Life is beginning a new chapter for Foxx and his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

Jamie Foxx often draws inspiration for his work from his personal life, but his partner, Huckstepp, generally prefers to stay out of the public eye. However, she’s been an important presence in his life since 2023.

Who Is Alyce Huckstepp?

I remember when the news first started buzzing – it was back in August 2023! Jamie Foxx and his now-partner were seen having dinner with friends at Nobu in Malibu. It felt like a really subtle way of letting everyone know they were a couple, a sort of ‘soft launch’ of their relationship.

Despite maintaining a private life and staying out of the public eye, Huckstepp was present at Jamie Foxx’s Netflix comedy special filming in Atlanta in October 2024. Gayle King shared a backstage Instagram video that briefly showed her in the crowd.

During his recent special, Jamie Foxx discussed several personal subjects, including his health and past relationships. He revealed he once dated longtime friend Katie Holmes.

He playfully announced from the piano, “I’ve been cured!” Then, jokingly but emphatically, he clarified, “I’m serious—no more dating white women.”

When Did Jamie Foxx and Alyce Huckstepp Begin Dating?

It’s uncertain if Jamie Foxx first met her at a beauty salon, reportedly carrying a Louis Vuitton baby bag. However, Huckstepp did attend the Los Angeles premiere of Foxx’s Netflix movie, Day Shift, in August 2022—though she went with a friend and didn’t take any pictures with the actor.

As reported by People magazine, Huckstepp was present on set during Jamie Foxx’s filming of a BetMGM commercial in July 2023. This was several months after Foxx experienced a serious medical emergency – a brain bleed that became life-threatening.

According to Us Weekly, Huckstepp was one of the few people Jamie Foxx let close to him during a difficult time. In a July 2023 Instagram video, Foxx explained he went through a deeply challenging experience he never expected. He admitted he hadn’t shared updates because he didn’t want people to see him at his lowest point.

Did Jamie Foxx and Alyce Huckstepp Break Up?

The couple reportedly broke up in January 2025 after being together for several years.

Four months later, they were seen together again at Nobu in Malibu. Then, in October, they enjoyed time at Kiki on the River, a waterfront restaurant in Miami.

When Was Alyce Huckstepp’s Pregnancy Confirmed?

TopMob News reported on May 12th that Jamie Foxx is expecting another child. The actor says one of his greatest joys is hearing his daughters call him “Dad,” and he’s looking forward to all the milestones ahead.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a father, he shared on Ellen DeGeneres’ 2021 web series, Dad Confessions, is seeing his children’s faces light up when he enters a room and helping them solve problems he himself has faced.

He’s experienced with newborns, but he’s not alone! Many dads have become fathers later in life. Here’s a look at some others who welcomed children after turning 50.

The Academy Award-winning actor, who had never been married, was already a father to four children when he turned 83. He had daughter Julie Marie with Jan Tarrant in 1989, and twins Anton James and Olivia Rose with his former partner, Beverly D’Angelo, on January 25, 2001.

Al Pacino’s representative announced on June 15, 2023, that he and his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, had a baby boy named Roman Pacino.

Before his baby was born on June 6th, Al Pacino told a photographer, “This is very special. It always has been. I have several children, but this one feels particularly meaningful at this point in my life.”

Robert De Niro, the two-time Oscar winner, became a father for the seventh time on April 6, 2023, when his daughter, Gia Virginia Chen De Niro, was born to him and his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. He was 79 years old at the time.

Robert De Niro has six children. He adopted his first child, Drena De Niro, in 1976 when he married Diahnne Abbot. They also had a son together, Raphael De Niro, in 1976. He later had twins, Julian and Airyn, with Touki Smith in 1995, and then son Elliot and daughter Helen Grace with his second wife, Grace Hightower, in 1998.

The actor explained to Access Hollywood that being a good father means understanding you have a responsibility.

He admitted the situation was puzzling and thrilling, but also frightening, and that everyone was simply doing their best to cope.

Despite appearing full of life, Jeff Goldblum was 62 years old when his wife, Emilie Livingston, gave birth to their son, Charlie Ocean, on July 4, 2015. Their second son, River Joe, arrived on April 7, 2017.

In 2022, Goldlbum called being a dad at 70 “revivifying”—because, of course he did.

He excitedly told TODAY that watching Emilie take on this new role was incredible, describing her as truly heroic. He also shared that parenting is often difficult, frustrating, and unpredictable – especially with children aged three to seven, who can be wild but are also loving and wonderful.

Jamie was a proud father to daughters Corinne Foxx, born in 1994, and Anelise Bishop, born in 2008, with Kristin Grannis. He and Connie Klein were parents to Corinne. He may have felt his family was complete.

TopMob News reported in May 2026 that 58-year-old Oscar winner is going to have a baby with his longtime girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, who is a fitness instructor.

Mick Jagger, the iconic lead singer of the Rolling Stones, is still enjoying being a father. He welcomed his eighth child, son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger, with his then-girlfriend, ballerina Melanie Hamrick, on December 8, 2016, when he was 73 years old.

Mick Jagger has eight children with five different women. He shares daughter Karis Hunt Jagger (born November 4, 1970) with Marsha Hunt. With his first wife, Bianca Pérez-Mora Macias, he has daughter Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger (born October 21, 1971). He and longtime partner Jerry Hall have four children: daughters Elizabeth “Lizzy” Scarlett Jagger (born March 2, 1984) and Georgia May Ayeesha Jagger (born January 12, 1992), and sons James Leroy Augustin Jagger (born 1985) and Gabriel Luke Beauregard Jagger (born 1987). Finally, he has son Lucas Maurice Morad Jagger (born 1999) with Luciana Gimenez.

Meanwhile, the granddad of five is also a great-grandfather to daughter Jade’s two granddaughters.

Years ago, Mick talked about the challenges of fatherhood, regardless of your job. When asked if being a rock star made it harder to be a good dad, he said being a good parent is difficult for everyone. It takes a lot of effort and time. He admitted seeing his kids while touring was tough, and they often misbehaved – he joked they had too much freedom. Seeing their behavior made him realize they were simply mirroring his own actions.

Often, the children would refuse to follow simple instructions, like going to bed or getting up on time. As their father put it, they fell into a pattern of defiance, and he was surprised to see this happening at such a young age – only six years old!

Like his band’s frontman, Rolling Stones guitarist and father of six Ronnie Wood is a romantic at heart. He has six children, including twin daughters, Gracie Jane and Alice Rose, with his third wife, Sally Humphreys. The twins were born on May 30, 2016, just two days before Ronnie turned 69.

In September 2018, Sally told Hello! magazine that she and Ronnie were very content and thankful for their lives and everything they possessed.

The twins adored visiting their dad at the recording studio. They’d put on their ear protection, and he always let them play with the equipment. It was clear the girls had him completely wrapped around their little fingers, she explained.

Rod Stewart was 60 years old when he and his wife, Penny Lancaster, had their son Alastair Wallace Stewart in 2005. He was 66 when their second son, Aiden Patrick Stewart, was born in 2011.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE this! Rod Stewart, my absolute idol, finally met his daughter, Sarah Streeter! She was the daughter he had when he was just 18 with a woman named Susannah Boffey, and he’d given her up for adoption. It happened when Rod was 65, and Sarah said it felt like fate, especially since her adoptive mom had just passed away in 2010. She actually said Rod coming into her life felt like it wasn’t a coincidence at all! She’s so happy they’re starting a new chapter together, and honestly, so am I! It’s just…beautiful!

As a longtime fan, I’ve always been fascinated by Rod Stewart’s personal life! He’s a proud dad to so many wonderful children. With his first wife, Alana Hamilton, he has daughter Kimberly (born August 21, 1979) and son Sean (September 1, 1980). He and Kelly Emberg share a daughter, Ruby (June 17, 1987), and with Rachel Hunter, his second wife, he has daughter Renee (June 1, 1992) and son Liam (September 5, 1994). It’s amazing to see how he’s built such a big and loving family over the years!

Paul McCartney and his wife, Linda Eastman McCartney (who passed away in 1998), were parents to three children: daughters Mary and Stella, and son James. Paul also adopted Linda’s daughter, Heather.

Paul McCartney was 61 years old when his daughter, Beatrice, was born to his second wife, Heather Mills, on October 28, 2003. He and Heather divorced in 2008, and he married Nancy Shevell in 2011.

Reflecting on fatherhood, the Beatles legend shared on his website in January 2023 that he always aimed to offer his children advice when they needed it, especially when they were younger. Now that they’ve grown up, he says the roles have reversed and they often guide him. While they don’t require much advice these days, he’s glad to be someone they can turn to if they’re facing a problem.

The acclaimed actor and director, who is also a father to eight children, welcomed his daughter Morgan Eastwood with his then-wife Dina Ruiz on December 12, 1996, when he was 66 years old. He’s been just as busy with his personal life as he has with his film career.

It absolutely breaks my heart, but did you know he didn’t even meet his first daughter until she was practically grown?! Laurie Murray was born way back in 1954, and apparently, he didn’t even know about her at first – she was given up for adoption. But then, in the 80s, she was so brave and tracked him down! I’ve read they’ve been close ever since, and honestly, it’s just the sweetest thing, even though it’s a little sad it took so long.

Clint Eastwood has six children from different relationships. He shares Kimber Lynn Eastwood (born June 17, 1964) with Roxanne Tunis. With his first wife, Maggie Johnson, he has musician son Kyle Eastwood (born May 19, 1968) and daughter Alison Eastwood (born May 22, 1972). He and Jaclyn Reeves are parents to son Scott Eastwood (born March 21, 1986) and daughter Kathryn Ann Eastwood (born February 2, 1988). Finally, he shares daughter Francesca Eastwood (born August 7, 1993) with former partner Frances Fisher.

The Dirty Harry star also has five grandchildren.

Scott, who grew up in Hawaii and later moved to California to live with his father and finish high school, described his dad as ‘old-school’ in a 2016 interview with Esquire. He explained that his father instilled in him the importance of being reliable, punctual, and hardworking.

For 67 years, Martin lived with only adults in his home. Then, in early 2013, he and his wife, Anne Stringfield, had a daughter. They’ve kept her name and any photos of her private.

You know, Steve Martin actually told AARP Magazine this back in 2017, and it totally blew my mind. He said if he’d had kids earlier in his life, he would’ve been a terrible dad! He explained it’s because he was so focused on his career – completely consumed by it, really – that he wouldn’t have been able to give his kids the attention they deserved. It just shows you how dedicated he was to making people laugh, but also how honest he is about things. I’ve been a fan forever, and this just makes me appreciate him even more!

Looking back on his life, he realized it had been a steady climb towards genuine happiness.

Lust for Life was the name of the game for the two-time Oscar winner and father of 12.

Quinn had a large family, with children from four different relationships. He had five children with his first wife, Katherine DeMille (daughter of Cecil B. DeMille), followed by three with Jolanda Addolori, and two with Friedel Dunbar. He later married Katherine Benvin in 1997, at the age of 82, and they had two children together: Antonia Patricia Rose Quinn, who was 4 at the time, and Ryan Nicholas Quinn, who was 17 months old.

The actor and Benvin were together until his death at 86 in 2001.

In 2000, appearing on Larry King Live, Anthony reflected on his parenting, stating, “I think I’m a better father now.” He explained that while he loved all his children, his relationship with his two youngest was particularly strong. “I’m absolutely madly in love with them,” he said, noting he hadn’t spent a single day apart from them except for one day he regretted having to be away.

Oh, Charlie Chaplin… he wasn’t just a genius, he was a father! I’ve spent years researching his life, and it’s fascinating. He had two sons with his second wife, Lita Grey – Charles Spencer Chaplin III, born in 1925, and Sydney Earl Chaplin, who came along in 1926. But get this – he had eight children with his fourth wife, Oona O’Neill! She was only eighteen when they married in 1943, and her father, the famous playwright Eugene O’Neill, was absolutely horrified! Can you imagine? It’s all just so captivating to me, every detail of his life!

Chaplin and his partner remained together until his death in 1977 at the age of 88. They had eight children: Geraldine Leigh (born July 31, 1944), Michael John (born March 7, 1946), Josephine Hannah (born March 28, 1949), Victoria Agnes (born May 19, 1951), Eugene Anthony (born August 23, 1953), Jane Cecil (born May 1957), Annette Emily (born December 1959), and Christopher James (born July 8, 1962).

Chaplin was 73 when Christopher was born.

In the 1992 film Chaplin, starring Robert Downey Jr., Geraldine played her own grandmother, Hannah Chaplin, a woman who had three sons with different fathers. She remembered that growing up, her family only watched Charlie Chaplin films. She told the Baltimore Sun that her father didn’t allow them to watch other comedians like Laurel and Hardy, likely because he was insecure and didn’t want anyone else’s work to be considered as good as Chaplin’s.

Elton John relentlessly toured for decades, from the 1970s through the 2000s. But in 2010, at age 63, he and his husband, David Furnish, began a new chapter, welcoming their son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John via surrogate on Christmas Day. Their second son, Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, was also born via surrogate, arriving on January 11, 2013.

John shared with The Mirror in 2016 that having children completely transformed his life. He realized that even the smallest moments with them are more valuable than any material possession or professional success, like his artwork, photos, home, or hit songs.

Hugh Furnish, who is twelve years younger than John, shared with the U.K.’s Sunday Times in 2015 that he felt thankful to have become a parent when he did. He explained that nothing can truly prepare you for the challenges and life changes that come with parenthood, and that he felt more confident and settled in his career than he would have twenty years prior.

The Piano Man welcomed daughter Alexa Ray Joel with second wife Christie Brinkley on Dec. 29, 1985.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve always admired families in all their forms! It’s wonderful to see how love expands at any age. That’s certainly the case for Billy Joel, who became a dad again later in life. He and his wife, Alexis Roderick, welcomed their daughter, Della Rose Joel, in 2015, and then little sister Remy Anne Joel joined the family in 2017. It just goes to show you, family truly is everything!

Billy shared with Extra how wonderful it felt to become a father after his son, Remy, was born. When asked if he’s actively involved in parenting, he jokingly responded that people assume celebrities don’t spend time with their children, but he and his partner are fully present, staying up with the baby and resting when the baby sleeps.

The celebrated talk show host was married eight times—to seven different women, including Alene Akins twice (between 1961 and 1972). He was also a father to five children.

He was sadly preceded in death by his children, Andy, age 65, and Chai, age 51, who both passed away in 2020 within weeks of each other – Andy from a heart attack and Chai from lung cancer.

Larry passed away in 2021 at the age of 87, leaving behind his son, Larry Jr. (born in 1961 to Larry and his second wife, Annette Kaye), and two sons from his seventh marriage to Shawn Southwick: Chance, born in March 1999 when Larry was 65, and Cannon, born in May 2000.

In a 2015 interview with The Guardian, he explained that before his twins, Chance and Cannon, his career was his top priority. He loved his children and strived to be a good dad, but work always came first. He later realized this came at a cost, as family life is ultimately the most important thing.
