Jamie Foxx’s Playful Take on Dating, From Praising Jennifer Lawrence to Declaring No More White Girls
Jamie Foxx has always been a master entertainer, seamlessly blending humor and charm into his public appearances. Following a health scare last year, the Academy Award-winning actor made a triumphant return with his Netflix special, *What Had Happened Was…*. In his signature comedic style, Foxx tackled various topics, including the swirling rumors about his hospitalization and a bold lamine yamal declaration: he’s “cured” of dating white women.
However, Foxx’s stance today contrasts with his sentiments from a decade ago when he openly praised Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry, even putting them on his so-called “pass list” while discussing celebrity crushes.
In the past, Foxx spoke candidly about his dream woman, humorously describing her as a blend of Halle Berry and Charlize Theron, dubbing this imaginary combination “Halle Theron.” While expressing his admiration for Berry, Foxx also added Lupita Nyong’o and Jennifer Lawrence to his list of celebrity crushes.
When asked about Lawrence, Foxx highlighted her unique charm and relatability, stating, “Jennifer Lawrence got some hood in her.” He went on to share a humorous anecdote, explaining how meeting her mother gave him insight into her personality. Referring to her fiery role in *American Hustle*, Foxx remarked, “You saw Jennifer Lawrence in *American Hustle*, when she checked that girl in the bathroom. That’s why your daughter got that thing.” kick
Fast-forward to his Netflix special, and Foxx has taken a much different approach to discussing his romantic preferences. In a comedic piano ballad, he playfully declared that he’s done dating white women, singing, “I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls.” Adding his signature humor, he joked about cultural stereotypes, quipping, “No more potato salad with raisins. No more spray tan, no more white women!”
Still, Foxx couldn’t resist a cheeky twist, amending his statement with, “No more white girls — in public,” eliciting laughter from his audience.
Foxx’s candid humor about his dating life has sparked conversations about his past relationships. Notably, he was in a six-year relationship with actress Katie Holmes, a romance they kept private until a public debut at the 2019 Met Gala. Despite their public appearance, the couple reportedly split the same year due to lifestyle differences.
Currently, Foxx is rumored to be in a relationship with Alyce Huckstepp, with the two reportedly dating since 2022. The couple has been spotted at several events, including the wedding of Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, in September.
Whether reflecting on past crushes or playfully declaring his dating preferences, Jamie Foxx continues to captivate audiences with his wit and storytelling. His Netflix special not only marks a triumphant return et to the spotlight but also showcases his ability to turn personal revelations into comedic gold.
