Foxx shares his elder daughter, Corinne, 29, with U.S. Air Force veteran Connie Kline. During his chat withDaily Pop, he admitted their family dynamic was different.

“Growing up, Corinne was like, ‘Well, people are married, and that’s what they have, my friends.’ But then a lot of those marriages ended up not doing well as the kids got older.”

He continued, “Unfortunately, we saw the kids get fractures fromtheir families. Us, we actually came together more. So I don’t know what that is, I just know that it is different but it’s a whole lot of love.”

Earlier this year, it was Corinne who revealed that her father had experienced an undisclosed “medical complication.”

“We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” she said via social media in a statement written on behalf of the Foxx family on April 12.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers,” the statement read. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Foxx’s latest movie,Strays, follows the life of a group of stray animals and is in theaters now. The comedy also starsWill Ferrell,Isla Fisher,Sofía VergaraandRandall Park.

His next film,The BurialwithTommy Lee Jones, premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 11.

The Texas native, who also co-produced the movie, tells PEOPLE thatThe Burialis “a great American story” in aPEOPLE-exclusive first look.

“We actually heard about this project probably 15 years ago. So it tells you how projects can be special. You hear about it 15 years ago, but now, everything lines up,” he said. “Maggie Betts lines up. [Producer] Datari Turner lines up. Everybody involved lines up, and then here we are embarking upon an incredible story, with an amazing character. It just feels good!”
