Jamie Foxx is about to add another title to his impressive list of accomplishments — that of the father of the bride. His daughter, Corinne Foxx, announced her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, Joseph Hooten, on Sunday (December 17).
Now, with the gleaming engagement ring on her finger, Corinne is ready to embark on the next chapter of her life with Hooten, the man she described as her “forever.”
“From the first time I saw you, I knew you were my forever,” Corinne captioned her Instagram carousel of black and white photos of the pair after Hooten popped the question.
In one of the snaps, the 29-year-old flashes her beautiful engagement ring as she smiles with excitement while embracing her soon-to-be husband.
This engagement comes as a sweet surprise to those who have been following Corinne and Hooten’s relationship over the years. The couple, who have been dating for quite some time now, have always maintained a low profile about their relationship status.
They’ve been together since 2018 when they first met while attending the University of Southern California – and it appears as if their blossoming romance has only strengthened over time.
Hooten also works in the entertainment industry as a writer, director, and TV executive, currently employed at John Wells Productions.
Corinne, on the other hand, has made a name for herself in the industry with her notable appearances in movies and TV shows, having previously hosted FOX’s Beat Shazam alongside her dad. However, this personal milestone in her life has evidently brought a different kind of sparkle to her eyes.
The engagement news has drawn words of congratulations from not just her fans but also her colleagues in the industry who are thrilled to see her stepping into this new phase of life.
“Congratulations babe!!!!! I’m so happy for you,” one person wrote in the comment section of her latest post.
Another commented, “THE POST I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. AHHHH.”
Internet personality Loren Ridinger was among the famous people who also took the time to congratulate the couple, writing, “Congrats. Love you so much. So happy for you both.”
It’s unclear as to when Corinne and her beau plan to tie the knot. But their relationship reaffirms that even in a world filled with spotlights and red carpets, genuine love and commitment still appear to exist in Hollywood.
