According to RadarOnline, Jamie Foxx’s sudden infatuation and desire to marry his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, has raised eyebrows among his close friends, who worry that the lifelong bachelor might be moving too hastily. According to insiders, Foxx was considering purchasing an engagement ring and taking the plunge into marriage, a prospect that concerned those who knew him well.
Foxx’s change of heart regarding marriage reportedly stemmed from a health crisis he experienced earlier in the year. Sources suggest that the incident made him reflect on his own mortality and prompted him to reconsider his stance on marriage. “Nearly dying has really woken him up to his own mortality,” an insider revealed. “Now he’s very aware it could all end in an instant.”
The actor’s health scare occurred in April while he was filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Following weeks in intensive care, he continued his rehabilitation at a center in Chicago. Although his family attributed the health crisis to a “medical complication,” there were suspicions that Foxx had suffered a stroke.
Despite his miraculous recovery, friends were concerned that Foxx’s desire to settle down with Huckstepp was a knee-jerk reaction to the health scare. They worried that he might be rushing into marriage solely because she was his current partner. “He’s started saying he wants to settle down. It’s freaking out everyone in his life,” the insider continued. “They’re worried he’s going to marry Alyce just because she’s the one he happens to be with now.”
This potential marriage marks a significant departure from Foxx’s past dating habits. His six-year relationship with actress Katie Holmes ended in 2019, reportedly due in part to his resistance to marriage. Now, he seems enthusiastic about making Alyce his wife, which some perceive as impulsive.
Foxx’s friends have also noted that he hasn’t been himself since his health scare, describing him as a different person. An Instagram post he made, which included a controversial comment related to religious beliefs, garnered backlash and accusations of antisemitism. His close pal commented on this change, stating, “Jamie nearly died and hasn’t seemed himself ever since. He seems like a different guy since he got out of the hospital — and this is the worst example yet.”
