Corrine, Jamie Foxx’s daughter, marries Joe Hooten in an opulent ceremony; more than a year after being admitted to the hospital, the delighted father leads his daughter down the aisle
Corinne Foxx, Jamie Foxx’s co-star in Beats Shazam, was married to Joe Hooten, a college sweetheart, in a magnificent ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday. Jamie Foxx proudly escorted Corinne down the aisle.
At her reception, the thirty-year-old bride and the 56-year-old Oscar winner shared a touching father-daughter dance. This was 17 months after the groom experienced a near-death «medical complication» that left him in a 20-day coma and rendered him unable to walk.
Corinne, whose mother is Air Force veteran Connie Kline, expressed her wish to her son not cry during the aisle walk to Access Hollywood in May of last year.»I don’t think he will survive!» But he’s genuinely excited.
Garcelle Beauvais, who played Jamie’s leading woman in Roland Emmerich’s 2013 film White House Down and the WB sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show (1996–2001), released the wedding clip.
The 57-year-old RHOBH actress gushed on Instagram, «Last night we got to witness and celebrate the love of @corinnefoxx and @joe.hooten.»
It’s evident how much you respect and adore one another. Corinne, you really looked amazing!
Foxx (née Corinne Marie Bishop) first became engaged to her future husband while both were students at USC, where he majored in film and TV production and she in public relations.
Foxx (born Eric Bishop) gushed that the couple were «a perfect example of what being in love is… You care about each other’s life mental and physical… and you have each other’s back» when Joe asked the DJ to marry him in December of last year, after a five-year courtship.
With 31.3 million followers on Instagram, the lifelong bachelor commented, «Congratulations on your engagement.»
«@joe.hooten» I was filled with excitement and tears when you whispered to me a while ago that you intended to ask my darling girl to marry you. And you have… and always will have a particular place in my heart, @corinnefoxx.
You are deserving of a lot of affection. Once more, congrats to you [two]. I am quite excited to take you down that [aisle]. I adore you both so much, @corinnefoxx, and @joe.hooten is a wonderful soul. I’m ready with my tissues—#tearsofjoy
With former publicist Kristin Grannis, Jamie will celebrate his youngest daughter Anelise Bishop’s 16th birthday on October 3.
The items on the newlyweds’ Over the Moon wedding register ranged in price from a $1,850 Match Insieme knife set to a $65 Issy Granger candlestick.
Hooten works as the director of the TV department at John Wells Productions, where she is in charge of shows including Fox’s Rescue: HI-Surf and the MGM+ series Emperor of Ocean Park.
With just eight days remaining in production on Seth Gordon’s spy comedy Back in Action, which will debut on Netflix on January 17, Foxx felt what he initially believed was just «a bad headache.»
«I’ve experienced something.» At the Critics Choice Association ceremony on December 4, the Grammy winner accepted the Vanguard Award and said, «I’ve been through some things.»
It’s different today; I treasure every minute. It’s difficult when it’s almost over—when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel—so I wouldn’t want what I went through on my greatest enemy. I did not see the light; I only saw the tunnel. I had no idea where I was headed, and it was hot in that tunnel too. «S***, am I going to the right place?» ‘
