Jamie Foxx continues to match the outpouring of love for his wellbeing on social media. Today (Aug. 17), the legendary actor, comedian, and recording artist shared a message of gratitude on Instagram. “You’re lookin’ at a man who is thankful, finally startin’ to feel like myself. It’s been an unexpected dark journey, but I can see the light,” he stated. “I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers. I have a lot of people to thank, you just don’t know how much it meant. I will be thanking all of you personally. And if you didn’t know, GOD IS GOOD all day, everyday.” Many of his peers responded with support in the comments, including Tina Knowles-Lawson, Octavia Spencer, Jeremy Renner, Larenz Tate, Ludacris, and Garcelle Beauvais.
As REVOLT reported in April, Jamie Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed that her father suffered “a health complication.” “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” she shared at the time. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
Through various updates and reports in the following months, fans learned that Jamie continued to recuperate at a physical rehab facility in Chicago and returned to social outings with friends and loved ones. In July, he posted an emotional video that broke down why he and his family are keeping certain details under wraps. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie [or] television show,” Jamie explained. “I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through… I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in, in such a way, and y’all know they keep it airtight. They didn’t let nothing out. They protected me.”
