Ahead of welcoming a third baby into the family, Jamie Foxx is proudly showing off the talents of his other family members too.
The Oscar-winning actor, 58, attended the 2026 BET Awards on Sunday, June 28, sharing the experience with none other than his daughter Anelise Bishop.
Jamie Foxx's BET surprise with Anelise
The 17-year-old musician twinned with her father on the red carpet. While Jamie opted for an all-black suit emblazoned in the sheen of Gucci monograms, his daughter went with a black and white classic tuxedo, giving it a twist with a cinched-in blazer, and an oversized white button down with wide-legged slacks.
The soon-to-be dad-of-three proudly stepped aside on the carpet as well to allow for his daughter to shine, which he then got to do during the actual show too.
Jamie and Anelise took to the stage, at which point the Ray star introduced his daughter to the world, and then the pair performed the opening notes to Kehlani's hit "Folded" before the singer came out to belt the hit herself. Watch that moment in the video above.
Fans react to Kehlani, Jamie and Anelise's "stunning" rendition
The moment quickly was named one of the highlights from the BET Awards, a ceremony that also boasted hilarious cameos from Keke Palmer, show-stopping performances from Cardi B, RAYE, and much more.
Fans were obsessed with the performance too, from Anelise's cameo to Kehlani's drop-dead gorgeous vocals. "Isn't that his daughter on the guitar? Why are we not talking about that!" one on social media said in response to seeing Anelise take the stage. Another similarly added: "We got an episode of the Jamie Foxx show lowkey."
As for Kehlani's own performance, fan comments ranged from: "The mic was on hunny this was stunning!" and: "Every single version of this song sounds unique and beautiful in its own way. Vocals insane," to: "We need this version on iTunes now," plus: "She can sing this 1,000 ways and I'd love every one."

Jamie is also a proud dad to Corinne, 32, who is a model, actress and TV host. In October of 2008, he welcomed his second daughter, Anelise, with Kristin Grannis. He is currently expecting his third child with on-and-off girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp.
Back in 2020, he told Entertainment Tonight of Anelise: "My 11-year-old now knows how to play the piano so well, she actually plays my songs while I sing to them, she said, 'I am going on tour with you.' I am blessed, we are all blessed."
"That's what's been good is we have been able to connect like that."
Highlights from the 2026 BET Awards
Kehlani, Jamie and Anelise weren't the only shining stars at the 2026 BET Awards. The night included an emotional tribute to the late D'Angelo, which was introduced by his three kids. On the more uplifting side, several artists like Lizzo, Doja Cat, Doechii, SZA and more came together to celebrate the incomparable music of Lauryn Hill.
As for the awards, Kehlani, Clipse and Kendrick Lamar were the biggest winners on the musical front, with Teyana Taylor dominating the film categories. A tearful Teyana was also presented the Icon of the Year award by none other than Janet Jackson.
