Why You’ll Probably Never See Jamie Foxx Get Married

Jamie Foxx seems to enjoy dating. However, when it comes to making things official, the “Redemption” star has never shied away from his feelings about wanting to remain unwed. During a very transparent conversation on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” in 2012, Foxx admitted, “I don’t know if I’m built for marriage. I know one thing: I’m a very loving person. When it comes to connecting with somebody, then being, like, there … I know I could be long-term in our connection.” 

This would not be the only time Foxx has shared his desire to share love without the wedding ring. Years later, in his 2021 memoir, “Act Like You Got Some Sense,” he once again shared that he doesn’t feel he is cut out to be someone’s husband, despite being open to serious relationships. “I just don’t think I’m the marrying type. I’ve just never been convinced that marriage was a good idea for me,” Foxx wrote. While he doesn’t speak publicly about his wealth, with a $170 million net worth, he may be trying to protect his assets and those of his children, who have also been a motivating force for his refusal to become a husband.
