Jamie Foxx has made his first public comments on becoming a father again aged 58, revealing his initial misgivings about the development.
Foxx already shares a daughter called Corinne, 32, by his ex Connie Kline and another called Anelise, 17, with another ex called Kristin Grannis.
It emerged in May that the Oscar-winning actor is expecting another baby with his girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, who a source said was ‘already several months along.’
Now, in a joint interview with Corinne, Foxx has candidly addressed his feelings on Huckstepp’s pregnancy, confessing: ‘Being my age, I was a little on the fence. But then I ran into Al Pacino a few months ago.’
Pacino, 86, became one of the oldest known new fathers in the world in June 2023 when his then-girlfriend Noor Alfallah, now 32, gave birth to their son Roman.
‘I said: “Al, you gonna be back in the drop off line?” I said: “Aw man, shoot I’m good,”‘ Foxx joked in his new interview with E. News.
The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Pacino for comment.

Huckstepp, an Australian former fitness model, first became a public item with Foxx in 2022, four years before news emerged of her pregnancy via TMZ.
She proved to be a source of support to him during his life-threatening health crisis in 2023, the details of which his family initially kept private.
Huckstepp ‘was totally there for him when he got sick, and they got very close after that,’ a source remarked in March 2024 to In Touch.
Later that year, in his Netflix stand-up special What Had Happened Was…, Foxx revealed that he had in fact suffered a stroke caused by a brain bleed, losing 20 days’ worth of memory and being temporarily confined to a wheelchair.
‘On April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for Aspirin,’ the Django Unchained star recalled onstage. ‘I realized quickly that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f*** to do.’
He shared that he owed his life to his sister Deidra, who rushed him to Piedmont Metro Atlanta Hospital to undergo treatment.
Foxx explained drily that his family were initially secretive about his illness because he had grown ‘dizzy from the stroke, so my head would bob around, and my family thought everyone would “meme the f***” out of me.”‘
He noted that the source of the brain bleed that resulted in the stroke remained ‘a mystery,’ saying: ‘We still don’t know exactly what happened to me.’

Foxx announced his split from Huckstepp in January 2025, but by April they were being glimpsed together in public again, signaling their rapprochement.
Meanwhile, before Pacino welcomed his now three-year-old son with Noor Alfallah, he was already the father of three adult children.
He welcomed Julie, 36, with acting teacher Jan Tarrant, and his twins Anton and Olivia, 25, with Coal Miner’s Daughter actress Beverly D’Angelo.
When Alfallah got pregnant, Pacino was allegedly ‘shocked’ and demanded a DNA test to prove his paternity because he thought he was unable to father a child on account of his health issues, sources claimed to TMZ.
It was reported that Alfallah acceded to Pacino’s request and agreed to undergo the test, establishing that the baby was in fact his.
Alfallah, who was reportedly born in Kuwait but raised in Beverly Hills, has full physical custody of Roman but shares legal custody with Pacino.
Under the terms of their agreement, Pacino was to furnish Alfallah with an upfront child support payment of $110,000, according to court documents.
He was also meant to pay her at least $30,000 a month, a sum that could be increased depending on his income, plus $15,000 a year into an education fund.
When Alfallah was 22, she famously had a relationship with Mick Jagger, then 74, but she has insisted that their age gap ‘didn’t matter to me.’
Pacino has been involved with a string of stars including Diane Keaton, Tuesday Weld, Jill Clayburgh and Veruschka, but never made it down the aisle.
In his 2024 memoir Sonny Boy, he acknowledged that he ‘always shied away from marriage. I guess I didn’t see how it would help anything. I just wanted to avoid what I thought, at the time, was the inevitable: an entrance to the pain train.’
