Jamie Foxx & Katie Holmes’ Secret Relationship Confirmed By ‘RHoA’ Star Claudia Jordan: How Their Romance Began

Rumors have been going on for quite some time now about Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes' secret romance. Just recently, "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star and Foxx's friend Claudia Jordan confirmed that the two are really dating.

Jordan revealed the news during an appearance on the "Allegedly" podcast on Tuesday. When asked about the "Django Unchained" actor, Jordan said that they are good friends and that Foxx is "very happy" with Holmes, E! News reported.

How Foxx And Holmes Met

The confirmation comes after the couple's engagement rumors surfaced in January, when Holmes was seen wearing an engagement ring on her finger. Speculations about Foxx and Holmes' romance sparked in 2013 after they were photographed dancing together at a charity event in the Hamptons. Afterwards, unconfirmed reports claimed that Foxx is spending plenty of time at Holmes' apartment in NYC, according to ET.

Tom Cruise, who Holmes shares a daughter named Suri with, starred with Foxx in the 2004 film "Collateral." Holmes filed for divorce from Cruise in 2012 after six years of marriage.

Meanwhile, Foxx, 48, continued to deny his romantic relationship with the 37-year-old "Touched with Fire" actress, adding that they are just friends and that they were working on an upcoming animated series called "Amber Alert." That animated project, however, wasn't listed on either of Foxx and Holmes' IMDb pages, ET noted.

Secret Romance Going On For Years Now

Another rumor also surfaced about Holmes' alleged pregnancy with Foxx's child, which was denied vehemently by the actor and his representative. Aside from the pregnancy rumor, there were also claims about a planned wedding that Foxx is postponing "until they'd settle into life with a new baby," CBS News reported. Foxx, meanwhile, said tabloids and the internet are "thirsty" for stories and outrageous gossips.

However, there are claims that Foxx and Holmes' romance has been going on for years now and that their close friends are privy with the two's relationship, E! News reported from insiders. The two are also careful to stay out of the public's scrutinizing gaze and have "strategically coordinate their arrivals and departures" in places to avoid unwanted attention, the news outlet noted.

In March 2015, a grainy snapshot surfaced on the tabloids featuring Foxx and Holmes seemingly holding hands in the actor's home recording studio, ET added. Us Weekly reported that the couple's involvement began as a fling but eventually turned into a "long-term attraction."
