Jamie Foxx talks missing opportunity for love with Garcelle Beauvais; says he’s jealous of all of her boyfriends

Apparently, Foxx’s love for Beauvais transcends off-screen. Both are currently single but Foxx says he’s never been fond of any of Beauvais real boyfriends. While talking, Foxx reminds Beauvais of her introducing him to Elliot while they were dating. 

Foxx says Beauvais became uncomfortable during the introduction, to which Beauvais responds that it’s due to Foxx never liking anyone she dates.

“Ever, I hate them all,” Foxx admits. When Beauvais asks why, Foxx once again answers honestly. “I think me and you should have been together,” he says. “So every time I see him,  I was a Damn. I fucked up. So every time I give them a really shitty look.”

Beauvais says her friends root for a relationship between her and Foxx, including a fellow housewife, Kandi Burruss.

“She [Burruss] goes, you know, I don’t get it. Why aren’t you and Jamie together? And I said, well, you know, we have a really great relationship now,’” Beauvais says. “And then I said, ‘He’s also hung like a horse. What would I do with all of that?’”

Both Jamie Foxx and Garcelle Beauvais have been in longterm relationships with other people

Foxx and Beauvais haven’t dated but that doesn’t mean they have not had an active love life. Beauvais has been married twice. Her first marriage was to producer Daniel Saunders, which ended in 1991. The couple have a son, Oliver.

She later married talent agent Mike Nilon and famously exposed his infidelity in an email to their close friends in 2010. The couple have twin sons. Her last public relationship was with Elliot, which was briefly featured on her first season of RHOBH.

It’s unclear why Elliot and Beauvais split, but their coupling was controversial as Elliot was featured on a docuseries alongside his wife just months prior to going public with Beauvais. He later clarified that he and his wife were no longer together.
