“A lot of those marriages ended up not doing well as the kids got older. Unfortunately, we saw the kids get fractured from their families,”
Foxx cited of some of his pals’ unions. According to him, this brought his family closer over the years.
“Us, we actually came together more. So I don’t know what that is, I just know that it is different but it’s a whole lot of love.”

“The pressure of being married, I don’t think we can have a conversation about it. I just keep moving.”
Though the traditional family life may not be for him, Jamie insists on keeping his family close. He explained:
“It was by design to have my whole family living with me, because I don’t want them living away from my circumstance. I want them to see and share the things that I go through. There’s a lot of hard work, there’s a lot of disappointment, but there’s a lot of things to celebrate.”
Both Corinne and Annalise also helped Foxx pen his memoir.
“I gave them the opportunity to be like, ‘Yo dad, this is how it went,'” he joked.
