1. Corinne Foxx was Born 29 Years Ago
Corinne Foxx was born on February 15, 1994, to Jamie Foxx and Connie Kline in Los Angeles, USA. Her parents were only dating when she was born, and they never got married. The pair met in 1993 and they had their daughter a year later. Apparently, their relationship could not stand the test of time and they soon broke up.
Although both parents went their separate ways, and Corinne appears to be more of a daddy’s girl, both parents play vital roles in her life. However, it is difficult to tell how present Corinne’s mother is in her life as the family prefers to keep their personal life away from the public. Being in the same industry as her dad, Corinne and Jamie are obviously really close.
2. Her Father’s Real name is Eric Marlon Bishop
Although he is known as Jamie Foxx, Corinne Foxx’s dad was born Eric Marlon Bishop in 1967. As his daughter, Jamie is an actor. He is also a musician and a comedian. The Grammy award-winning actor started to gain fame in his career with the TV sketch-comedy, ‘In Living Color’ in which he impersonated different real-life people.
The thespian was said to have adopted the name Jamie Foxx after he found out that it is easier for women to get stage time at open-mike nights. He chose the name because it is gender-neutral.
3. Her Mother Is A US Air Force Veteran and a Tax Preparer
For more than 20 years since Corinne Foxx was born, her mother had remained a mystery to almost everyone because she was neither in Hollywood nor had Jamie Foxx made her public. However, in 2016, RadarOnline finally solved the mystery after it revealed that from an investigation that ran for 4 months, it found that the mother of the actress is Connie Kline who is a tax preparer. 47-years old at the time, Kline was said to have been involved with the Django Unchained actor in the 1990s and that resulted in their daughter.
Connie Kline was pictured driving a black Mercedes Sedan which was listed under the actor’s name. More so, she was said to have a property outside of Los Angeles that is worth $500,000. On the 11th of November 2016, her daughter took to her Instagram page to wish her a happy veteran day and thank her for being an inspiration and role model. As an air force veteran, Kline served in the force for five years.
Connie Kline went into taxation in 1992 and she eventually got 25 years of experience as a licensed Enrolled Agent with the IRS. She currently works at CK Financial, Simi Valley, California as a tax preparer.
Kline said she kept silent for 22 years because of how much she cherished her privacy. Even though her identity has been uncovered, the lady still manages to keep her life off the media.

At 29, the pretty celebrity has been able to establish a career in the entertainment industry. She has also gained recognition across the country and beyond for her philanthropy and advocacy.
5. Corinne Foxx Wanted To Drop Her Dad’s Name at a Time
After Eric Bishop dropped his birth name for Jamie Foxx, his daughter followed suit. However, she started to consider changing her name back as most people thought her surname was all she needed to make it in the industry. Some people said she didn’t even need a college degree. Corinne on the other hand wanted to have a name outside her father’s. Eventually, she decided that she was going to maintain her surname regardless. She said that she didn’t want to bother herself with things she has no control over. Also, she felt really proud of her dad and that she has grown into her surname.

Corinne’s sister was born on the 3rd of October 2008. Annalise, who is 15 years younger than Corinne, is equally as talented as any other member of the family. Her father once revealed that she is interested in piano and basketball, and she is also really good at them.
7. The Actress Has A Solid Relationship with Her Father
In as much as her mother has been out of the public eye, Corinne Foxx has always maintained a good relationship with her father since she was little.

When they attended Ellen Degeneres’s show together, the two made a rabbit face and Jamie joked that it was because Corinne could make the face that he knew she was his.
In addition to having a knack for entertainment, it is also possible her father’s involvement in her life and vice versa that spurred her dream of going into entertainment. She started her journey in the industry with her dad at the early age of 6 and has since executed several projects with him. Her first project with her father was ‘The Jamie Foxx Show’ which she featured in at age 6. Over the years, both father and daughter have appeared in several shows together.
