Jamie Foxx, In Temecula To Watch His Daughter Play Volleyball, Posed For Pics With Team

TEMECULA, CA — Actor, musician, and girl dad Jamie Foxx was spotted over the weekend at a recent Southern California Volleyball Association event in Temecula.

Girls from the under-16 Vipers Volleyball team played in the same tournament as Foxx's daughter, Analise, and after the match, they mugged for a photo with the star of the Netflix "Back in Action" star.

Foxx stopped to talk with the girls and parents between games, and Volleyball mom Desarey Linnan told Patch about the tournament, the meeting, and a bit of perspective seeing a star out of their element.

"The girls play for Viper Volleyball Club in Temecula, where the tournament was held Sunday, March 2," she said. "Foxx's youngest daughter plays for Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, and he is well-known around the Volleyball circuit. So we run into him from time to time at tournaments. He’s always very sweet to anyone who approaches him."

At the tournament's end, Linnan and others asked if Foxx would record a "Happy Birthday" message to one of the mothers who wasn't at the tournament. He obliged, recording the phone message, singing "Happy Birthday," without hesitation, she said.

Foxx recently told People that his favorite part of being a dad is hearing his daughters call him "dad." He also loves "watching them light up when you come into a room. Helping them work out a problem that you've probably gone through," Foxx said in the Ellen Digital Interview for People. Just having that little bit of dad anxiety every day, of hoping your kids are okay."

Part of that parenting is traveling to sporting events and cheering them on, Linnan says.

"He’s always very friendly and will talk and take pictures with people. I think the volleyball community is respectful to him. When he’s watching his daughter, people don’t bother him. He’s a parent, after all, just like us."
