“The Idea Isn’t For Me” – Jamie Foxx
American actor, Eric Marlon Bishop better known as Jamie Foxx has opened up about why he believes he will never get married.
The 53-year-old who is a comedian, singer, and record producer, spoke to E! News Daily Pop on Monday where he said he wasn’t “cookiecutter” while promoting his new book Act Like You Got Some Sense.
He said, “The 2.5 children, the wood paneling on the station wagon and the cottage, I didn’t think that was for me”.
Foxx credits his decision to never marry as strengthening his bond with his two daughters Corrine Foxx, 27, whom he had with ex-girlfriend Connie Kline, and Annalise Bishop, 12, whom he shares with ex Kristin Grannis.
He said, “Growing up, Corrine was like, ‘well, people are married, and that’s what they have, my friends. But then a lot of those marriages ended up not doing well as the kids got older.
“Unfortunately, we saw the kids get fractures from their families. Us, we actually came together more. So I don’t know what that is, I just know that it is different but it’s a whole lot of love.
“The pressure of me being married, my family doesn’t talk about it,” he revealed. “I don’t think we’ve had conversations about it. They just love their daddy and I just keep moving.”
The actor’s daughter Corrine previously spoke about the close bond she shares with her father during an interview. earlier this year.
