Jamie Foxx has been receiving family and friends as visitors at the rehab facility in Chicago he’s been staying at in recent weeks. Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, and his close friend, Dave Brown, both visited the actor over the weekend, according to TMZ. Foxx transferred to the facility after initially being hospitalized in Atlanta with an undisclosed medical emergency. The new facility offers strokes, spinal injuries, and cancer treatments.
Corinne was the first one to confirm that Foxx had suffered a medical emergency back in April. After weeks passed with no updates, rumors began to circulate about his condition. She eventually wrote on social media: “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”

Foxx and his daughter worked together on the series, Beat Shazam, prior to his recent health scare. In his absence, Nick Cannon is serving as the host. Jamie and Corrine also recently announced they are currently developing a new game show called We Are Family. “We are thrilled to be developing We Are Family with Jeff Apploff and our friends at FOX Entertainment after so much success with six seasons of Beat Shazam,” said Jamie and Corinne Foxx in a statement. “We hope this show brings as much fun to audiences at home as we’ve had creating it when it premieres next year.”
Despite Foxx improving day by day, fans were in a panic, earlier this month, when the outlet, Daily Loud, falsely reported that his family was “preparing for the worst.” The outlet later apologized, explaining that they failed to properly vet the source they used.
