The Jamie Foxx baby news arrived just days after his show-stealing turn at the Melbourne Cup, with ABC News confirming the actor has welcomed his first child with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp. Sources confirmed the news to People on Wednesday, according to Now To Love on 5 November, and ABC News confirmed the birth on 6 November. It is Foxx’s third child, and Huckstepp’s first.
The timing made the Cup Day appearance look like a farewell to freedom. Foxx, 58, was spotted enjoying Australia’s biggest race day just before the announcement, and an insider told Now To Love: “It seems Australia has become a particularly special place for the couple, and perhaps even more so now that they’ve welcomed their little one.”
Cup Day boogie in the Birdcage
Foxx brought Hollywood sparkle to Flemington Racecourse on Cup Day, Tuesday 3 November, while based in Melbourne shooting his new action film Deadlocked. Inside the Don Julio marquee, freshly single My Kitchen Rules star Zana Pali hit the dance floor with the Oscar winner, sharing the video to Instagram, according to Nine’s Front Row column.
The column described the moment as a “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it boogie” before Foxx bolted out of the Birdcage, adding a reminder that his heart belongs to Huckstepp, the Queensland fitness model he is expecting a baby with. The dance set social media alight, but Foxx was, as Front Row put it, strictly off the market.
Australia plans and a family surprise
Foxx told the Daily Mail in an interview at the Cup that he plans to find a home in Australia, according to AllHipHop on 4 November. “Of course, I’m moving. I’ma find a place,” he said inside the Don Julio Hacienda marquee, adding that he planned to bring Huckstepp’s relatives over as a surprise. “My girl is from Australia, and I’m bringing her whole family here as a surprise,” he said.
He is filming the action thriller Deadlocked in Victoria for Amazon MGM Studios, playing a former Marine serving on a jury when a defendant’s daughter takes control of a courthouse. The film gives his Melbourne stay a work connection as well as a personal one.
A relationship back on track
Foxx and Huckstepp, 31, split in January 2025 after about a year and a half together, according to multiple sources cited by People, but sparked reconciliation rumours when they stepped out together three months later. Foxx revealed the pregnancy himself on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September, joking: “I got a baby on the way… still got it!”
He is already father to daughters Corinne, 32, with ex Connie Kline, and Anelise, 17, with Kristin Grannis. In October he released the stand-up special Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself. With a new baby, a new film and a possible move Down Under, the Oscar winner’s Australian chapter looks like it is only just beginning.
