A Walk Down Memory Lane
Claudia Jordan surprised fans this week with an emotional Instagram post celebrating her longtime friend and former radio partner, Jamie Foxx. In a caption accompanying a series of candid photos, Jordan—known for her stints on reality TV and as a Playboy cover model—described reconnecting with Foxx as “like family” and paid tribute to his storied career across film, music and comedy.
“It was great to reconnect with someone I’ve felt was family to me for so many years when I was living in California. @iamjamiefoxx,” Jordan wrote. She added that calling Foxx “an icon is almost an understatement,” ticking off his rapid-fire song creation, storytelling flair and knack for self-deprecating humor that helped their Foxxhole radio show become a blueprint for today’s top podcasts.
Foxxhole: Ahead Of Its Time
Before either of them hit network TV fame, Jordan joined Foxx as second chair on the Sirius XM channel Foxxhole. Launched in 2007, the weekly show mixed music, stand-up bits and off-the-cuff banter long before on-demand audio was mainstream. Jordan recalls Foxx “fearlessly telling it like it is unapologetically every Friday,” a style she says paved the way for countless talk formats.
According to Jordan, she often watched him “create a song on the spot, be the best storyteller and gladly be the butt of a joke all in the name of comedy for our show to flourish.” The chemistry between host and co-host built a loyal following and showcased Foxx’s versatility, while giving Jordan a crash course in production and on-air presence.
Near-tragedy And Triumph
Jordan’s post took an emotional turn when she referenced a health scare that nearly dimmed Foxx’s star. “To think we were this 🤏🏾 close to losing your light Jamie! 💔 But you beat it and you’re back,” she wrote, echoing the public relief when Foxx overcame his hospitalization in April 2023.
Foxx, a Sagittarius born in December 1967, has faced medical challenges before—most notably, a near-fatal cardiac event in 2019—and Jordan applauded his “humility and appreciation for getting a second chance.” Fans flooded the comments with heart and fire emojis, celebrating Foxx’s resilience and Jordan’s heartfelt words.
Beyond Radio: A Multifaceted Media Maven
Jordan’s career trajectory mirrors her friend’s creative restlessness. After winning Miss Rhode Island USA in 1997 and gracing the cover of Playboy in 2007, she found mainstream fame on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. More recently she’s taken on hosting duties for TV One’s Cocktails With Queens, spotlighting women like breast-cancer survivor Iman Anderson Lewis, and launched her own interview series, The Real Deal with Claudia Jordan.
Her Instagram feed underscores the diversity of her projects: from posting behind-the-scenes snaps of upcoming film shoots to sharing snapshots of Italian dinners with friends like Toni Anne and Chancee, Jordan balances red-carpet glamour with real-life camaraderie.
What’s Next For The Misfits
Jordan closed her post by looking ahead: “I love you @iamjamiefoxx and I have missed our lil dysfunctional band of misfits!! Congratulations again Sagittarius ❤️💫💫.” The playful nod recalls the free-wheeling spirit that fueled Foxxhole and hints at possible future collaborations—on radio, screen or wherever two creative forces collide.
Fans can catch Jordan on the big screen this summer in the sci-fi thriller Run (in theaters August 29) and hear Foxx next in his upcoming Netflix special. But for now, both stars are basking in a reunion that reminds us why their partnership once felt so electric—and why old-school chemistry still sparks.
As Jordan’s Instagram shows, some bonds withstand the test of time, distance and even health scares. For two entertainers who built their careers on improvisation, the simplest act—reconnecting with a friend—proved to be the most genuine performance of all.
