Jamie Foxx’s Daughter Corinne Contemplated Changing Her Name to Get Out of Her Father’s Shadow
Jamie Foxx daughter, Corinne Foxx recently opened up about how at one point, she believed she might want to change her name to make her own lane and get away from her father’s shadow. Corinne, who is Foxx’s daughter with his ex-partner Connie Kline, who co-produced “Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me!” on Netflix with Jamie, shared that she at one point thought she should change her name.
“I did consider, honestly, changing my last name. I had a lot of people telling me, ‘You don’t have to go to college. You can just go straight into the entertainment world, doors will open for you. You could be making millions of dollars,’ ” Corinne said, ”I just grew up my whole life and I didn’t want to just ride on my dad’s coattails. I wanted to, you know, make my own name, do things myself.”
Corinne says she used to worry about what others would think, that eventually something changed for her.
“As I’ve gotten older I’ve, one, made peace with people are gonna think things about me that I have no control of, and two, I’m proud of my dad and I’m proud of who he is and I’m proud of the work he’s done. I’m proud of just the person that he is,” Corinne said, “Holding onto his name and being proud of my last name is actually something I’ve had to grow into.”
“Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me!” premiered in April 2021. However, the show was cancelled after one season. The show is about a single dad who inherited his mom’s company in Atlanta, Ga.
