Mystery daughter

Foxx has two daughters: model, actress and television producer Corinne Foxx, born in 1994; and another daughter born in 2009.

Just wondering: Has the second daughter's name ever been revealed? Or it possible she never received one? Celebs are busy people; it may still be on the agenda. – AndyFielding (talk) 09:43, 18 October 2022

The other daughter is named Anelise - https://people.com/jamie-foxx-celebrates-daughter-anelie-16th-birthday-with-throwback-photos-8725968

typo

Missing "r" in "the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor fo his performance".

Thank you. 2A02:8071:D82:D200:CD34:519E:9E5C:CFE3 (talk) 13:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's been fixed. Thanks for the catch. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 13:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent age for his sister

Under legal issues: the article states that Deondra Dixon was 25 in April 2003.

Under Personal life: the article states that Deondra Dixon was 36 in 2020.

a 17,5 year gap with an 11 year age difference. It seems like one of the sources is unreliable. 2A02:A020:8F:36E6:D0C3:7115:9F1E:FDA8 (talk) 14:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to say this. This is very inaccurate. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 19:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think whoever said she was 25 in 2003 was confused with his OTHER sister Deidra who was born August 1, 1977 according to this People article. [1]https://people.com/all-about-jamie-foxx-sisters-8689744

Deidra was born in 1977 and depending on the month, would have ben 25 in 2003. DeOndra was born in 1984 and would have been 36 in 2020. TheSamZzz (talk) 15:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Gold Digger" by Kanye, not Twista

In the second paragraph below Quick Facts, discussing Foxx's music career, it should say it was a collaboration with the "latter," not the "former," as Kanye is listed as the second collaborator on "Slow Jamz," not the first. Rbarthjr (talk) 12:26, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bro, that's crazy we noticed this on the same day. 152.86.233.14 (talk) 19:42, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Foxx's 16 year old daughter's name is missing. According to this People article, her name is Anelise. https://people.com/jamie-foxx-celebrates-daughter-anelie-16th-birthday-with-throwback-photos-8725968 TheSamZzz (talk) 15:15, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of names (particularly in this footnote), names of minors with no Wikipedia article about them (non-notable minors) should in most cases not be mentioned in articles about notable family members (in this case Jamie Foxx), even if there's a source for it. Editor consensus may be needed before the addition of the name. Thank you. ObserveOwl 🎄 (talk) 21:02, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
