In 1993, Foxx dated US Air Force veteran Connie Kline. The two welcomed their only daughter, Corinne, together on February 15, 1994.

Foxx opened up about co-parenting with his ex and how his decision not to get married helped him become a better father. In 2021, he told E!

He continued: “Unfortunately, we’ve seen kids get broken from their families. We’ve actually come together more. So I don’t know what it is, I just know it’s different, but it’s a lot of love.”

For Veterans Day 2016, Corinne paid tribute to her mother on Instagram, sharing a photo of Kline in her Air Force uniform. Your strength, persistence and endurance inspire me every day, she wrote. “You showed me that women can do anything and everything. I am who I am thanks to you.”

“And there are a lot of emotions that people don’t understand,” he added. “Somehow, being a celebrity makes them feel like you’re not human, and we have things that are afforded to us or rewarded for being [celebrities]. But inside we are still the same people.”
