Jamie Foxx is one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, thanks to stellar performances in blockbuster flicks such as Django Unchained, Ray, and Law Abiding Citizen. Despite his successful career, which earned him a Best Actor Oscar at the 2005 Academy Awards, Jamie's love life has had its ups and downs.
In 2013, just one year after divorcing her husband, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes was believed to be romancing Jamie. While their relationship was kept out of the limelight as much as possible, the media eventually found out that they were, in fact, dating. The two reportedly shared an on-again, off-again romance for six years before calling it quits. During those six years, plenty of rumors circulated regarding the former couple's relationship.
Here are 15 rumors Jamie Foxx wishes would quietly disappear.
15 He Allegedly 'Stole' Katie Holmes From Her Ex-Husband
When dating rumors about Jamie and Katie first surfaced in August 2013, there was gossip that Foxx “stole” the actress from Tom Cruise. It’s a pretty silly allegation, given that Katie had already filed for divorce from her ex. However, Jamie was deemed a family friend of Tom and Katie, so the fact that he ended up dating her made things pretty awkward. It certainly gave the impression that Jamie may have had a thing for Katie before she filed for divorce.
14 He Was Allegedly Feuding With Tom Cruise Over His Relationship With Katie
When it was first claimed that Jamie and Katie were dating, many wondered what had happened to the Django Unchained star’s friendship with Tom.

11 He Was Allegedly Dating Kate Beckinsale At One Point
Katie and Jamie supposedly shared an on-again, off-again relationship for almost six years.

Their respective camps never confirmed or denied the claims, but given his track record with the ladies, perhaps Jamie did have a brief fling with the gorgeous brunette.
10 He Allegedly Bought A House For His Ex-Girlfriend While Dating Katie

8 He Was Allegedly Dating A Woman 30 Years Younger Than Him

In response to the rumors, Jamie said: “We wanted to treat her the same way and give her the opportunity. I spoke to that girl’s mom and she put her trust in me. We don’t ever cross lines like that, personal. I wanted to let you know, for all who were scandal chasing, that’s our artist, that’s our family… We are working.”

6 He ‘Leaked’ His Personal Photos For Publicity
In August 2009, a personal photo of Jamie Foxx’s private area surfaced online, and while fans initially doubted that the pic was real, the father-of-one later revealed how disappointed he was to have his privacy invaded in such a terrible manner. Others claimed that Jamie purposely leaked the explicit photo to promote his movie, Law Abiding Citizen, which was released just two months after the scandal. Could it have been a coincidence?

"He was a tyrant, like: 'Do not f*** my film up.’ But that's what you want. You want a director who, even if you're going off the cliff, you know that you're going off the f****** cliff."
Despite being told off by Quentin, Jamie said he had a pleasant experience working with the 56-year-old and suggested he would sign up for another project of his in a heartbeat.
2 He Made A Transphobic Joke
Jamie got himself into a lot of trouble when he made several transphobic jokes about Caitlyn Jenner’s transition. In his opening monologue at a stand-up show, Jamie joked: "We have some groundbreaking performances here, too, tonight. We got Bruce Jenner, who will be here doing some musical performances. He's doing a his-and-her duet all by himself." Many people were given the impression that the 52-year-old was transphobic.
