After being hospitalized for a frightening medical emergency last month, the actor is now undergoing physical therapy.
Jamie Foxx is undergoing physical rehabilitation in Chicago, Ilionois, after previously being hospitalized last month in Atlanta, Georgia.
Foxx's family -- including daughters Corinne Foxx and Anelise Bishop -- were seen visiting Foxx in the medical facility where he's undergoing continuing care and physical therapy, as seen in photos obtained by TMZ.
Foxx's hospitalization in Atlanta for an undisclosed medical complication first surfaced on April 12. And it was only on May 3 when Foxx broke his silence, taking to his Instagram account and thanking everyone who has rallied behind him while he was in the hospital.
"Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed," the beloved 55-year-old actor wrote in his post, which included a prayer, fox and heart emoji.
The nature of his medical emergency and current condition is still unknown. According to TMZ, the hospital facility in which Foxx is receiving treatment specializes in rehabilitation for those who have suffered from a stroke, spinal trauma and traumatic brain injury.
The outlet further reports that, according to a source, Foxx has been at this facility since late April.
On Tuesday, ET spoke with Dr. Jyutika Mehta, Director of the Stroke Center - Dallas, and she shared more information on the kinds of treatment provided at centers like the one Foxx is currently in.
"The rehab centers pretty much address any motor or any cognitive or language impairment that can potentially result from a condition like stroke or brain injury," Mehta shared. "Without knowing exactly what happened to him, it's really hard to tell, but any brain injury, whether it's stroke or a traumatic brain injury, or any type of brain trauma, has to be taken seriously, and often will likely require some kind of a rehabilitation."
According to Mehta, the average time spent in a rehabilitation center such as this can be anywhere from 12 to 20 days, or more. Additionally, Foxx's family being present to help will likely be a major factor in his recovery.
"Families play a huge role in the overall outcomes," Mehta explained. "That kind of support they need, both emotional as well as the other resources a family can provide is absolutely priceless. We really, really recommend, at our center, that family support is critical."
Amid recent rampant speculation about his health, Foxx's daughter, Corinne, offered a significant update about her father last Friday, and slammed numerous reports claiming Foxx's loved ones were preparing for the worst by sharing an update from the family that reads, "Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!"
On May 4, while on the Impaulsive podcast, Kevin Hart provided a promising update.
When asked about Foxx's health, the Die Hart 2: Die Harter star noted that he respects that Foxx's family wants to keep information "tight" because he knows his friend is a private person.
"I think the dope thing is that he's getting better in his situation, and everybody's prayers, everybody's love, energy, all that stuff is seen and felt," he shared. "I don't know the details or the exact details as to what's going on, but to my knowledge, there's a lot of progression and a world of better. My love, synergy goes out to him. He's needed, he's necessary and I know he knows that. I know that he feels that because there's been an outcry and outpour of support and I can only hope that it continues. "
