During the short interview, Coleman also noted that she isn't surprised that details surrounding Foxx's hospitalisation have been kept under wraps citing that the actor is hugely private.
"If you've noticed, Jamie Foxx has always been on the low," Coleman said to Entertainment Tonight.
"Even when it came to dating, Jamie's always been private, so it never surprised me. Once I heard the news, of course, I reached out, but how Foxx is doing it is how Foxx should be doing it. He's resting, he's well. And he's going to be back. Trust and believe."
