Anelise Bishop is the daughter of Jamie Foxx and low-key psychotherapist Kristin Grannis, and just celebrated her sweet 16 – here’s what we know about the rising musical talent

If there’s one thing we can assume about Jamie Foxx’s daughter Anelise Bishop, it’s that she loves Chinese food. Why? Because she just celebrated her 16th birthday earlier this month with her dad at Beverly Hills’ famous Mr Chow restaurant.

The eatery has been serving Beijing-style cuisine for 50 years now, and a bowl of hand pulled noodles goes for more than US$30 on the delivery app Postmates. The teen and her family were seen leaving with the chain’s famous pink doggy bag.

Foxx matched his daughter’s vibe, with the pair both donning ultra-casual tracksuits. Earlier that week, he had taken to Instagram to wish her a happy birthday: “I have watched you grow. It has been nothing short of extraordinary,” he wrote – adding that she is now a “force to be reckoned with”.

Foxx has two daughters with two different women. Anelise, who is the youngest, was born in 2008 to low-key psychotherapist Kristin Grannis. Foxx and Grannis dated in 2008, according to People magazine, and the two are still occasionally spotted together as friends and coparents.

 

Grannis is a licensed family and marriage therapist, according to her bio on Psychology Today, with a focus on helping women suffering from depression, anxiety and grief. She also describes herself as “kind, calm and caring”, and has done an impressive job of staying almost entirely out of the limelight since her relationship with the Oscar winner.
