"We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers," she stated at the time. "The family asks for privacy during this time."

The father and daughter also hosted the game show "Beat Shazam" together but the two briefly stepped away from their roles following Jamie Foxx's health scare.

Last December, the Academy Award winner shared a series of photos on his Instagram account to congratulate Corinne Foxx on her engagement to her boyfriend Joe Hooten.

In the black and white photos, the couple can be seen embracing each other with her beautiful diamond ring on display.

Jamie Foxx penned a heartfelt note in the caption, gushing over the young couple.

"You are a perfect example of what being in love is…." he wrote at the time. "You care about each others life mental and physical… and you have each other's back… congratulations on your engagement…"

Continuing his note with a message to his soon-to-be son-in-law, he wrote, "When you whispered to me a while back that you were gonna ask my baby girl to marry you I had tears of joy in my soul… 🙏🏾❤️."

To his daughter, he added, "You have… and have always had a special place in my heart… you deserve love abundantly… so again congratulations you too… can't wait to walk you down that [a]isle."

During an interview with "Good Morning America" in 2021, Jamie Foxx revealed Anelise has a passion for music as well as sports.

He said at the time that Anelise was "playing the piano -- she's on the guitar, and she's 5 feet, 10 inches at 13 years old!"

When it came to Anelise's basketball skills, he gushed, "Her last game before COVID, she was playing with the boys. She had 21 points, 17 rebounds, 5 blocks."

Presidential debate commission sticks to schedule despite Trump's urging
The Commission on Presidential Debates is pushing back against suggestions from the Trump campaign that it move its general debate calendar up -- standing firm in its decision to hold the first broadcast on Sept. 16, 2024. In a statement released on Wednesday, a day after Trump senior campaign advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles released their own statement urging earlier debates, the commission correctly noted that its September event is the earliest it's ever conducted a debate. The previous record was set in 1980, when Republican Ronald Reagan and Independent John Anderson went head-to-head on Sept. 21.

Arizona Senate passes repeal of 1864 abortion ban, sending it to governor's desk
The Arizona Senate on Wednesday voted to repeal a strict, Civil War-era abortion ban that was recently ruled enforceable by the state Supreme Court. Two Republican senators, T.J. Shope and Shawnna Bolick, joined the 14 Democrats in the minority and the bill passed 16-14, over vocal GOP objection. Ahead of her vote, Bolick took a broadly anti-abortion position on the floor -- explaining in detail the three difficult pregnancies she had herself, including the story of her own miscarriage -- but she voted with Democrats, suggesting the repeal of the stricter ban might weaken support for a Democratic-led ballot initiative in November to broaden abortion access further.

Biden faces pressure from Republicans to speak out on college protests
President Joe Biden is facing pressure from Republicans to more forcefully speak out on the college protests unfolding nationwide in connection to the Israel-Hamas war. The campus unrest has created a political opportunity for Republicans, typically fractured on a number of issues but united against university leaders and as staunch supporters of Israel, to hold Biden's feet to the fire as he navigates a divided Democratic caucus. "When will the president himself, not his mouthpieces, condemn these hate-filled little Gazas?" GOP Sen. Tom Cotton said on Wednesday alongside other Republican senators at a news conference on Capitol Hill.

Kamala Harris hammers Trump for Florida's 6-week abortion ban, warns it will be 'even worse' if he wins
Vice President Kamala Harris hammered rival Donald Trump in a speech in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday, the day the state's six-week abortion ban took effect, blaming the former president for the new restriction and saying it would be "even worse" if he wins a second term. "Just this week, in an interview, he said states have the right to monitor pregnant women to enforce these bans and states have the right to punish pregnant women for seeking out abortion care," Harris said, citing Trump's comments in a recent Time magazine story. "So, Florida, the contrast in this election could not be more clear."

'She killed her chances': Kristi Noem's odds dim of being Trump's VP pick, sources say
The negative headlines began in earnest in March, when a slickly produced video Noem released personally promoting an out-of-state dentist spurred a lawsuit claiming deceptive advertising -- and the scrutiny increased in recent days with the revelation in Noem's upcoming memoir that she chose to shoot one of her young dogs because she claimed it was "untrainable" and exhibited aggression. "To a person, everyone agrees she killed her chances, pun intended," said Sean Spicer, Trump's first White House press secretary, who remains in touch with the former president's team.

'Belligerent' man ordered to pay United Airlines $20K for flight diversion: DOJ
A British man who wreaked havoc on a United Airlines flight, forcing the flight crew to divert their landing location, must pay over $20,000 to the airline, prosecutors announced. The charges stem from a March 1 flight that departed from London, when passenger Alexander Michael Dominic MacDonald, 30, "began arguing with his traveling companion and causing a disturbance," according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. "When flight attendants asked MacDonald to be quiet and attempted to calm him, he became belligerent, threatening and intimidating towards them," prosecutors said.

Fed holds interest rates steady at highest level since 2001
The Federal Reserve decided to hold its benchmark interest rate steady on Wednesday, postponing highly anticipated rate cuts as elevated inflation continues to burden U.S. households. The slowdown has coincided with a months-long stretch of stubborn inflation, putting pressure on the Fed to keep interest rates high despite a risk of hindering economic activity with expensive borrowing costs. "The economic outlook is uncertain, and the Committee remains highly attentive to inflation risks," the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed's decision-making body on interest rates, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Some Republicans expected to join Arizona Democrats to pass repeal of 1864 abortion ban
Two Republican state senators are expected to join Democrats in Arizona on Wednesday to pass a bill to repeal the state's Civil War-era near-total abortion ban -- three weeks after the state Supreme Court ruled the law was enforceable and one week after the House passed its own legislation to roll back the restrictions that have stirred widespread controversy. T.J. Shope and Shawnna Bolick have both indicated they will support the Democratic-led repeal effort, giving Democrats the necessary votes in the chamber. Notably, Bolick is married to one of the state Supreme Court justices who voted to reinstate the 1864 law, which supersedes a 15-week abortion ban that was enacted in 2022 and which blocks all abortions except to save the life of the pregnant woman.
