Jamie Foxx has broken his silence about his hospitalization in April, and his subsequent absence from the public eye. In a statement released to People magazine, Foxx said that he was “feeling blessed” to be recovering from his medical emergency.
“I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during my recent health scare,” Foxx said. “I’m feeling great and I’m looking forward to getting back to work soon.”
Foxx’s hospitalization was first reported by his daughter, Corrine Foxx, on Instagram. She said that her father had “experienced a medical complication” but that he was “already on his way to recovery.”
Foxx was subsequently moved to a rehabilitation facility in Chicago, where he remained for several weeks. He was seen in public for the first time since his hospitalization in July, when he was spotted aboard a boat on the Chicago River.
In his statement to People, Foxx said that he was “taking it easy” and “focusing on my health.” He also thanked his fans for their “love and support.”
“I’m so grateful for all the love and support I’ve received from my fans,” Foxx said. “It means the world to me.”
Foxx’s hospitalization was a reminder of the fragility of life. However, his recovery is a testament to his strength and resilience. Fans are eager to see him back on the big screen, and they are confident that he will continue to entertain and inspire for many years to come.
In addition to his statement to People, Foxx also posted a tweet on Sunday, July 17, in which he said that he was “celebrating summer with @brownsugarbbn. Stay blessed.” The tweet included a photo of Foxx holding a bottle of Brown Sugar Bourbon, a whiskey brand that he co-owns.
Foxx’s return to social media is another sign that he is on the mend. Fans are hopeful that he will soon be back to making movies and television shows. In the meantime, they are grateful for his update and for the assurance that he is doing well.
