Jamie Foxx Speaks on New Relationship with Parents Who Abandoned Him


Jamie Foxx has been very open about the fact that he never had a relationship with his biological parents while growing up in Terrell, Texas [click here and here if you missed that].

Now, with his mother under the same roof, Jamie is determined to heal old wounds…

 Jamie Foxx tells Britain's Sunday Times Magazine,
"We're trying to learn [about] each other. The one thing I think is great [about my mother being] in the same house, because you realise certain things that you missed when you were growing up, like, 'Oh, I do that because of that,' or, 'Oh, I do this because of that.' It's profound."
of his father Jamie says,
"Fingers crossed, it will become a real thing. But the door is open. That's one thing I've learnt: always keep the door and your heart open... I don't hold a lot of grudges... But it's tough, y'know (sic)? Because there are questions, like, 'What happened? Where were you? Were you stricken with something? Could you not make it?' Growing up, I would always go, man... I'm a good dude. I wasn't the kid getting in trouble. I was quarterback on the high school football team . And he only lived 28 miles away! So I always said to myself, y'know (sic), I'm gonna (sic) grade him a little harder for that, because he could have tried."
