Who are Jamie Foxx’s daughter’s mothers? Connie Foxx made him a father in 1994.

Jamie became a father for the first time on Feb. 15, 1994. At the time, his daughter, Corinne was born soon after his short-lived relationship with her mother, Connie Kline. It’s unclear why Jamie and Connie’s relationship didn’t last, but they remained active co-parents throughout Corinne’s childhood. As of this writing, Connie has never publicly spoken about her relationship with Jamie.

Corinne’s mom’s Facebook shows she’s a military veteran and served in the Air Force for five years. She also had another daughter after Corinne was born. Other than showing moments alone or with her girls, Connie lives a relatively quiet life away from the spotlight.

Like Connie, Kristin hasn't spoken about her and Jamie's relationship publicly. However, she was spotted walking with the actor in August 2023, months before he was hospitalized and in rehab for months regarding a brain bleed. The reunion between Jamie and Kristin came after he apologized for posting what many described as an antisemitic message on Instagram.

Despite neither of his relationships with his daughters' mothers not working out platonically, Jamie never let his relationships with them affect how he shows up for his girls. The multitalented star told E!'s The Daily Pop that, although marriage isn't for him, his role as a Girl Dad is his most rewarding one yet.

"If you start early, Girl Dad, being a new dad, being able to talk about anything under the sun at the age of eight, nine, 10, when they are 18, 19, 20, they'll say, 'I can go to my dad and talk about anything,'" Jamie said. "It will pay dividends for the rest of your life."
