Jamie Foxx cried as he walked his daughter, Corinne Fox, down the aisle to marry her fiancé, Joe Hooten.
Actor Garcelle Beauvais, who starred The Jamie Foxx Show with the actor – took to Instagram on September 22 to share photos from the intimate ceremony.
In the later deleted post, published by PeopleOne photo showed Jamie in a black and white tuxedo as he walked his daughter down the aisle.
She was captured crying and smiling, as her hand wrapped around her daughter's arm. For her big day, Corinne wore a white off-the-shoulder floral-print dress and a matching veil.
Another image showed Corinne and Jamie on the dance floor, apparently for the traditional father-daughter dance at the wedding.
Along with the snaps of the father-daughter duo, Beauvais also shared a photo of herself with the grooms, who matched their tuxedos with a white corsage.
“Last night we were able to witness and celebrate the love of @corinnefoxx and @joe.hooten,” Beauvais wrote in the caption of her post, according to People“The love and respect they have for each other is palpable.”
In December, Corinne, the daughter of Jamie and his ex, Connie Kline, first announced that she was engaged. On Instagram, she shared black-and-white photos with Hooten on a boat, while showing off her diamond ring. “From the first time I saw you, I knew you were my forever partner,” she wrote in the caption at the time.
Jamie also shared photos of her daughter and her then-fiancé, along with a sweet tribute, to celebrate the engagement.
“@corinnefoxx @joe.hooten you are a perfect example of what it means to be in love… You care about each other's mental and physical lives… and you support each other… congratulations on your engagement,” she wrote in an Instagram post. She then sweetly shared how Hooten asked Corinne's father for permission to marry her.
“@joe.hooten when you whispered to me a while back that you were going to ask my baby girl to marry you, my eyes filled with joy,” Jamie continued. “And @corinnefoxx you have…and always have had a special place in my heart…you deserve so much love…so again congratulations to you too…can’t wait for you to walk down the aisle…@corinnefoxx you have such a wonderful soul @joe.hooten I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH…I have my tissues ready.”
The newlyweds met in 2018 through a mutual friend when they were students at the University of Southern California. However, they didn't officially start dating until much later.
“It wasn’t until after college, when we reconnected through Instagram,” Corinne told wedding website Over the Moon earlier this month. “I was bold and liked an old photo of Joe on Instagram. He immediately messaged me and asked me out. Our first date was on a sailboat, where Joe was living at the time.”
