Jamie Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx saved his life after his stroke in 2023.

The 58-year-old actor revealed Corinne, 32 – his daughter with ex Connie Kline – had a critical role in his survival after he suffered the stroke which left him in a coma for nearly three weeks.

Speaking to Keke Palmer on her podcast, Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, Jamie recalled a conversation he had with a doctor who treated him after his stroke.

He explained: “I wanted to know his version. He says, ‘Hey man, without her you wouldn’t be here.’

“He says, ‘Man, your daughter saved your life’. He talked about Corinne. She saved you. He said, ‘She’s the reason that you’re here.’”

Jamie went on to compare Corinne’s response to his medical emergency to Michael Corleone stepping in to protect his dad in The Godfather after learning he had been shot.

He said: “That’s who she was.

“When I look at her now, I say, I got to live this thing. Got to live it. Awakening and seeing how much love and how much strength someone had for you. We should all have a Corinne Marie Foxx. No, I’m serious.”
