Corinne Foxx Says There 'Wasn't a Dry Eye in the House' When Dad Jamie Foxx Walked Her Down the Aisle at Her Wedding

Corinne married Joe Hooten over a year after Jamie's 2023 health scare

There wasn't a dry eye at Corinne Foxx’s wedding to Joe Hooten for one reason — her father, Jamie Foxx.

Corinne, 30, and Hooten married in September — a year and a half after her father, 56, suffered a "medical complication" in April 2023 that left him out of the spotlight for months.

"It was incredibly special, considering his health scare last year. I walked down to a strings version of ‘Georgia On My Mind’ by Ray Charles," she shared with Vogue in an interview published on Thursday, Oct. 3.

"My dad won his Oscar for playing [Ray] in 2005. At 10 years old, I was his plus one and got to share that special moment with him," the newlywed continued. "There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when we came down the aisle."

The couple held the ceremony at Jamie's house, making the moment extra special.

"Even though my dad has lived there for almost 20 years, the house felt brand new," Corinne told the outlet, noting that the house was redone during the summer in preparation for the wedding.

Hooten described the details and circumstances leading up to the ceremony as "emotional."

"I didn’t expect to cry up there, but the moment I saw Corinne and Jamie, who was also emotional, walking down that aisle, all bets were off," Hooten told Vogue. "I was in awe of her beauty and inspired by Jamie’s example of fatherhood."

"During Jamie’s health scare, the whole family went through and overcame so much. Seeing all of us make it to this moment just opened the floodgates. It was beautiful and unlike anything I could have imagined," continued Hooten.

Hooten and Corinne met in 2018 and announced their engagement on Instagram in December 2023.

"You care about each others life mental and physical… and you have each other’s back," he wrote on Instagram, adding that he had "tears of joy in my soul" when Hooten told him he was going to pop the question.
