Jamie Foxx has spoken for the first time about a medical emergency that he says was so serious he wasn't sure he was going to make it.

The actor posted a video on Instagram Friday night, emotionally opening up about the suffering he went through and why he kept the specifics about his medical condition under wraps.

Jamie said, “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through.”

As for why he waited so long to talk ... Jamie said he didn't want anyone to see him with tubes coming out of his body, adding, "I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show."

Jamie shut down online rumors he was paralyzed and blind, while acknowledging he went to "hell and back," but is now able to work despite hitting some potholes in his recovery.

He then gave a shout out to his daughter, Corinne, and his sister, Deidra Dixon, for staying by his side throughout his recent health struggles after his family said he suffered a "medical complication" in April and had to be hospitalized, but he was recently released.

Jamie also kinda made a joke about the theory he used a body double a few weeks ago when he was seen in Chicago swinging a golf club and boating on the Chicago River, pretending to show he was the real deal with a 'Face Off" move!

Choking up, Jamie ended his speech by addressing his supporters ... "I just want to say that I love everybody, and I love all the love that I got. I am on my way back.”

Sources with knowledge tell TMZ, Jamie is not fully recovered but you really couldn't tell from watching him over the past few weeks. He's not committing to all his various projects ... some, we're told, he says he's still not up to doing right now.

Kim Kardashian is taking her soccer mom game to the next level ... bringing son Saint with her to Lionel Messi's first game with his new Major League Soccer club.

Kim and Saint are among the celebs in the house for Messi's debut with Inter Miami ... she says they're there to support Saint's passion for soccer, and root on his favorite player, Messi.

Remember ... Kim and Saint have been to soccer games around the world this year, we saw them back in March at a match in Paris.

Kim and Saint are seeing some familiar faces at the game ... because Tristan Thompson is also in the house.

Serena Williams made sure to catch Messi's first game ... and LeBron James did too, even sharing a moment with the soccer star before the game.

Messi's new Inter Miami team is playing Mexican club Cruz Azul at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale ... and he's coming off the bench and expected to play the last 30 minutes.

Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch's 2-year-old daughter has two WWE Superstars for parents ... but she could grow up to be a pharmacist for all they care -- 'cause The Architect tells TMZ Sports they'll support their kid in whatever she wants to do with her life.

Wrestling has been known to be a family affair ... with families like the Flairs, Rhodeses, Johnsons and more dominating the sport over generations.

So, when we caught up with Rollins, we had to ask if that's something he'd like to see with his daughter, Roux ... and he made it clear their household isn't going to force anything.

"That's up to her, man," Rollins said at LAX this week. "Whatever she wants to do, I'm on board. I support her 100%."

If Roux does want to follow in their footsteps, 37-year-old Rollins says she'd find herself amongst the top female entertainers in the world .... 'cause he had high praise for the ladies of WWE.

"I will say our women are the most talented on the planet."

Rollins -- who married Lynch in 2021 -- also gushed about his partner ... adding, "My wife is the best to do it. I'm a lucky man and anybody who gets to exist around her is lucky as well."

Roux wouldn't have to go far for advice if she wants to wrassle ... after all, Seth also owns a wrestling school, Black and Brave Wrestling Academy, in Iowa.

Before this ecstatic kid in her Barbie pajamas turned into a "Bachelor" star and an Internet personality, she was just a gleeful pageant kid with her Barbie balloon growing up in Birmingham, Alabama.

After making it to the top 2 on Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor," she would later put a ring on it during season 6 of "Bachelor In Paradise" back in 2019. Today, she's big on TikTok and has a YouTube channel where she vlogs with her soon-to-be hubby, Dylan!

Need one more hint? She recently decked out in a pink blazer-dress for the "Barbie" premiere.

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is soaking up the sun with her kiddos in Hawaii ... just over a week after she was awarded a massive chunk of change in child support.

Christine seemed to be having the time of her life on the sandy beaches Thursday, snapping selfies with her daughter as waves crashed on their feet.

She looks to be in great spirits -- to be fair, it's kinda hard to frown while on a Hawaiian vacay, but the weight of her ongoing divorce doesn't seem to be affecting her one bit.

As we reported, Christine's getaway comes after a judge determined Kevin's gotta cough up $129,755 monthly in child support -- while the ruling was tentative, these decisions rarely change when the hearing takes place.

Ben Affleck is yet another victim of the scorching heat wave gripping the nation ... his classic car overheated in the mean streets of Brentwood, CA.

Ben and his son Samuel were cruising in his 1969 Cadillac DeVille Wednesday -- where temps hovered around 90 -- when the car apparently started smoking.

Ben pulled over, popped the hood and hit the pavement in search of a gas station to buy coolant.

Ben eyed the engine, looking for the radiator, and a passerby leaned in for an assist. As Ben hydrated his ride, someone couldn't resist taking a selfie with him.

This isn't the first time Ben's had car issues with his son ... Samuel jumped into the driver's seat of a Lamborghini last year while car browsing with his dad in Bev Hills, but things took a turn for the worse when Sam put the car in reverse, backing into a BMW.

And then there's the time last year when Ben failed to navigate a Starbucks sign at the drive-thru while J Lo rode shotgun.

And speaking of J Lo ... she had her own issues Wednesday when she got locked out of a gym. She was clearly more upset than Ben, telling photogs, "F**k you, bye."

Ryan Cabrera just announced the gender of his baby with Alexa Bliss like an absolute rockstar ... completely destroying a guitar that revealed he and the WWE Superstar are having a girl!!

Bliss posted video of the epic reveal on her Instagram page Wednesday ... and check out the clip, everyone was fired up to see pink smoke billow through the air!!

You can see Bliss raised her hands with joy ... while Cabrera had a massive grin on his face.

"BABY GIRL!" Bliss said in a caption on the video.

The couple announced back in May they were expecting ... saying their first child would be arriving sometime in December 2023.

Hilariously, they said it was an unplanned pregnancy ... showing a photo of a baby onesie with the words "best oops ever!" on it.

The son of "Good Times" star John Amos is behind bars for allegedly sending threatening texts -- including images of guns -- to John's daughter ... the latest chapter in a family war over the actor's health.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, John's son, K.C., was busted last weekend after his sister, Shannon, claimed he sent her a slew of concerning texts, which she says made her fear for her life.

Shannon told West Orange, NJ police her brother texted about his supposed gang affiliations, showing a handgun and a rifle. She claims he also sent her videos of him firing a handgun in an open field, and wrote, "Gonna sleep much better tonight big sis."

According to Robert Florida, a spokesperson for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office ... Shannon said K.C. suffers from bipolar disorder, which has led him to believe she hired someone to kill him -- and now she's worried he might retaliate.

As we reported, Shannon started a GoFundMe last month for her father John, claiming he's been the victim of elder abuse.

However, John told us his daughter's lying, and he's not sure why she started the fundraiser. GoFundMe scrubbed the page after the "Roots" actor declined the cash.

After that mess, Shannon said K.C. no longer has authority to make medical decisions for John -- and she's sent him a cease and desist letter regarding online comments he's made about her.

Before this New York native with the slicked back hair turned into an actor and a Broadway star, he was just a city kid, hustling and bustling, scurrying through the crowded sidewalks and making his way to rehearsals.

This shining star took the stage at The Hollywood Bowl and played the role of Mark Cohen in the musical "Rent" back in 2010 ... with Vanessa Hudgens playing Mimi and Neil Patrick Harris directing. Most recently, he nearly hit a 'Perfect Pitch' at MLB's 2023 Celebrity All-Star Game. (His costar Adam DeVine was also in attendance).

Ricky Martin's finding a way to have some fun while going through a divorce with the help of his twin sons -- his biggest fans joined him on stage during his latest show and the 3 of 'em had a blast.

The singer's 14-year-olds, Matteo and Valentino, joined their pops during his gig in Locarno, Switzerland Monday night ... something he called a "beautiful surprise!"

Ricky was clearly smilin' from ear to ear while his boys hyped up the crowd in the rare sighting ... no doubt a sign the bond between them is still strong as hell as RM re-enters the single life.

As we reported, the Puerto Rican pop star and his estranged hubby Jwan Yosef announced their divorce in a joint statement earlier this month ... saying they've made the tough call to "end our marriage with love, respect, and dignity for our children."

The couple tied the knot in 2018, with a prenup set in place. Along with the twins -- who Ricky had via surrogate prior to Jwan -- they also have 4-year-old Lucia and 3-year-old Renn.

Jerry O'Connell just needs a pair of glasses, 'cause the guy's a real-life Clark Kent ... leaping into action when he saw a food truck going up in smoke!

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Sheriff's deputies came across the truck fire Sunday in Malibu, swiftly pulling a man out of the vehicle, and then started removing nearby propane tanks -- which is when Jerry got involved.

Jerry, who was in his car with his twin daughters, got out of his ride and we're told he immediately went to move a gas can near the food truck. Pretty heroic, when you consider another can was already on fire, and flames were spreading in a nearby field.

We're told he also scaled a fence to grab a fire extinguisher, attempting to keep the flames at bay until the pros in L.A. County Fire Department arrived to take over firefighting duties.

Jerry has experience battling blazes ... back in 2003, when a wildfire near the San Bernardino mountains threatened his home, he helped firefighters for several days, and eventually saved his pad.

Offset & Cardi B are lookin' to be back to normal after some explosive cheating claims ... because they were both having a blast at their daughter's 5th birthday party.

It was a Mario Bros.-themed bash for Kulture Sunday, and Cardi shared all the highlights on her social media -- which included her kiddo meeting Princess Peach.

There was a ball pit for the little ones, a castle bounce house, and an impressive birthday cake themed perfectly to the iconic video game ... all tying into the theme, "Super Kulture."

The birthday girl's parents were having fun together, too -- Cardi rocked a sparkly gown while Offset kept things casual. Their 1-year-old, Wave Set, was also in the building ... lookin' fly with an iced-out chain!

Safe to say, things between Cardi and Offset have calmed down ... as we reported, the Migos rapper put his wife on blast last month, claiming she's been sleeping around.

Cardi didn't take that lying down -- going on Twitter Spaces to call him out for the post. She even said she'd hit him with a bottle if he tried saying that to her face.

The Quavo and Lori Harvey dating rumor's been fueled by a couple of misleading photos -- and we've learned all they really have in common right now is the same taste in restaurants.

The buzz is the celebs had a hot lunch date at the San Vicente Bungalows -- an exclusive L.A. hot spot -- and while it's true they were there at the same time this week, they were not together.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop ... Quavo was sitting at a different table from Lori, and he was having a lunch meeting. We're told he was focused purely on business, and not Lori.

Even Lori's tried to squash it by commenting on the TikTok post that claimed they must be dating. She explained she was there with friends, and Quavo co-signed ... calling the post "cap."

Real talk? We're told the pics of them leaving the joint were taken 10 minutes apart. While that's a common tactic celeb couples use to throw off paps, this time it's just a coincidence.

Lori is still dating "Snowfall" star Damson Idris, and Quavo is putting the finishing touches on his "Rocket Power" album, which will feature his collab with Future -- the one with that direct shot at Russell Wilson.

Before this lil' cowboy was singing on stage and opening for music icon Taylor Swift, he was just throwin' on his hat, singin' up a storm and songwriting from a young age, and growing up in San Antonio, Texas.

After making a song cover for Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe," he was an instant hit amongst many! He's worked with some of music's hottest stars including Pitbull, Lil Wayne and Flo Rida. In 2020, this studly guy joined OnlyFans, and he's also been known to flash an ab or two on his Instagram.

Need one more hint? "Mmm Yeah!"

Angela White, formerly Blac Chyna, is thrilled her daughter with Rob Kardashian has lots of people looking after her ... including her auntie Khloe Kardashian.

Khloe's been attempting to clarify comments she made in a recent episode of "The Kardashians," about Angela and Rob co-parenting Dream -- calling herself "more than an aunt" to Dream, which most took as a shot at Angela.

Well, Angela tells TMZ ... "Everything is good on both ends, we are all family at the end of the day. Robert and myself are co-parenting the best we can and it's all love and positivity."

After catching some flak online for her remarks, Khloe went on social media to clarify she wasn't throwing shade at Angela as a parent, as some folks speculated.

Khloe said she spends a lot of time with Dream because she's usually hanging with Rob, while also saying "it takes a village to raise a child."

Angela agrees, telling TMZ ... "As mentioned, it takes a village to raise a child and I'm happy that Dream has a huge village full of love from both sides, as a mother that's all I ask for."

Remember ... Angela says she's ditched her Blac Chyna persona to set a better example for her kids, and that's what she's continuing to do in this situation.

Cops have a woman in custody who they believe is directly tied to the overdose death of Robert De Niro's grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez ... and TMZ has learned the feds are now on the case too.

Law enforcement sources tell us the 20-year-old woman was busted Thursday in NYC by a joint NYPD and federal task force -- and they believe she sold drugs to Leandro before his death ... which his mother has said was due to a fentanyl OD.

We're told the suspect is being processed at this moment, and we don't know yet what charges she will be facing.

As we reported, the 19-year-old was found dead inside an apartment on July 2. He had appeared in the 2018 film, "A Star is Born" ... playing the son of Bradley Cooper's best friend, George "Noodles" Stone, played by Dave Chappelle. Leandro also appeared in "Cabaret Maxime" in 2018.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ Leandro's death is being investigated as an overdose. We're told the teen was house-sitting, and both drugs and drug paraphernalia were found near his body.

While authorities have yet to release an official cause of death, his mother, Drena De Niro, said last week, "Someone sold him fentanyl laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him."
