Jamie Foxx’s “medical complications” kept him laid low for several months
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star approached Jamie after watching his daughter, Corinne, marry Joe Houghton on September 21. “They’re in love,” she told Us Weekly.
In April 2023, Corinne announced that her father had been hospitalized due to “medical complications” while filming in Atlanta. At the time, she was grateful that “because of the quick procedure and great care, he was already on the road to recovery.”
Details about the Oscar winner were being kept secret during his month-long hospital stay. However, many of his celebrity friends, including Garcelle, sent their wishes for a speedy recovery.
“Gee, I love you so much!!! I want and need you to get better soon.” [praying hands] “Sending you light love and prayers,” Garcelle wrote at the time and shared a photo of the two.
In August 2023, Jimmy assured his fans that he was on the mend. “It’s been an unexpected dark journey, but I can see the light,” he wrote on Instagram. “I am grateful to everyone who has reached out and sent well wishes and prayers.”
Although Jimmy has never revealed the nature of his illness, he plans to discuss it on his upcoming show “What Had Happened Was.” Filming resumed in January 2024.
Garcelle and Jimmy’s friendship goes back nearly 30 years
For years, Jimmy joked about his cute relationship with Garcelle. They first worked together on the Jamie Foxx Show from 1996 to 2001. They then reunited for the 2013 film White House Down.
During a September 2020 episode of the Going to Bed with Garcelle podcast, she joked with Jamie that he didn’t give any of her potential boyfriends “any real interest.”
“I hate them all,” Jimmy replied jokingly. “I think you and I were meant to be together. So every time I see them I’m like, ‘Damn.’ I messed up.”
For her part, Garcelle was married twice, first to Daniel Saunders (1991-2000) and then to Michael Nealon (2001-2011). She has three sons, Oliver (with Saunders) and 16-year-old twins Jax and Jade (with Nealon).
“It’s hard,” she says now about dating. “People feel like they’re disposable now, and you can swipe left and right. I mean it’s just a different time.”
Although she doesn’t plan to find love on the dating show, she hasn’t completely ruled it out. “I don’t know if I want to live my personal life on TV,” she said. “If I met someone and still went on Real Housewives, sure. But to actually go and do it, I don’t think so.”
But on second thought, “Black Girl Missing” star and executive producer Garcelle joked, “Maybe it’s love is blind, if they do a popular version.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is now streaming on Peacock.
