Who is Kristin Grannis? Jamie Foxx's ex stays by his side for his physical rehab after 'medical emergency'

The couple was seen together in 2019 just shortly after Foxx reportedly ended his relationship with Katie Holmes

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS:Jamie Foxx’s former lover Kristin Grannis is apparently standing by his side as he remains under the supervision of top medical care following a ‘medical emergency’ that has not been revealed. The 55-year-old ‘Ray’ star has been in the hospital since April 11 when he experienced what his daughter described in an Instagram post as a "medical complication."

Foxx was initially rushed to a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia when he was filming the action-comedy ‘Back In Action’ with Cameron Diaz. Now a report by TMZ claimed that he has been shifted to a new facility in Chicago, where he is ‘recovering well’. The outlet didn’t disclose the facility’s name but stated that specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and cancer rehabilitation. A source told TMZ that the actor arrived at this Chicago facility in late April.

Jamie's family, including his daughters Corinne and Anelise, as well as Anelise's mother, Kristin Grannis, were all in Chicago this weekend, May 14 when they paid him a visit at the facility. In photos obtained from TMZ, Grannis was seen leaving the facility with a huge bouquet of Mother’s Day flowers and a pair of pink and silver balloons. Hiding her face with a mask, she sported a knitted sweater, jeans, and a big black bag on her shoulder. Their daughter Anelise, who appeared in great spirit, was seen casual jacket with a pair of washed jeans. She also had a guitar slung on her back, indicating she played or sang for her dad. Meanwhile, Corinne, who has been by her dad's side from the start of his medical troubles, was also joined by her boyfriend on at least one of the visits.

Who is Kristin Grannis?

Kristin Grannis is a 46-year-old American licensed marriage and family therapist who lives in Agoura Hills, California, according to Opoyi. Grannis first met Foxx when she was working in PR. Her identity was kept away from the spotlight until October 2017 when she was photographed hugging and laughing with her daughter in LA. Following that outing, the couple is often seen hanging together with their daughter, whom they welcomed in 2009.

The couple was seen together in 2019 just shortly after Foxx reportedly ended his relationship with Katie Holmes. A year later, they were seen standing close aboard a luxury yacht, celebrating Memorial Day with their young daughter, according to Amomama. In the pictures of the outing, Grannis was seen wearing a stunning white summer dress, while the actor opted for a printed jacket. Months later, in the same year, the 'Amazing Spiderman 2' actor disclosed in an interview that Grannis had lost her father while her mother was battling sickness.

‘My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks

This family visit came just days after Corinne gave a positive update on Jamie’s health while reputing rumors that his inner circle is preparing for the worst. “Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild,” she said in an Instagram story, adding, “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!” Corinne added. “Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support!” Following his health issues, Foxx was recently replaced by Nick Cannon as host of the FOX game show ‘Beat Shazam!’ Cannon also expressed concern for his friend and said, “Man, I’m praying. I have been saying prayers out loud.”
