LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An insider has revealed the details about Jamie Foxx as he recovers from a "medical complication" after being hospitalized in April. Although the specifics of his illness have not been disclosed, the source said, "His family have wanted him to recover in peace. He needed some time to get better, and they wanted to keep things private until he was completely out of the woods."
"That's why there's been so much secrecy," they explained, according to OK Magazine. "He's supposedly playing pickleball already," the insider told the outlet while referring to his daughter Corrine Foxx's recent social media post about her father.
