Alyce Huckstepp “has been there for him” since his medical scare
Jamie Foxx found the "perfect" match in girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, sources tell PEOPLE.
The actor, 56, is currently "enjoying his good health" after experiencing a health emergency a year ago, a source tells PEOPLE. A big part of the Oscar winner’s well-being, according to another insider, is Huckstepp, who “couldn’t be nicer or more perfect for him.”
“Alyce is a sweetie, a great girl,” says the insider. Thanks in part to her, “Jamie is doing incredibly well.”
First spotted in public together at a Malibu restaurant and confirmed as a couple in August 2023, Foxx and Huckstepp have kept their relationship out of the spotlight. In September, an actor on Foxx’s BetMGM commercial reported that Huckstepp was visiting on set and “seemed cozy” with the star.

The “bona fide entrepreneur” is “gung ho” about work and “likes his freedom in general,” the source tells PEOPLE. “He also has to be busy. He loves it.”
