Jamie Foxx‘s new young gal pal Sela Vave has moved in with him, multiple sources tell Page Six. But Foxx insists it’s all business.
Rumors of a romance between the Oscar winner and Vave swirled over the weekend after the couple were snapped in LA holding hands while leaving a nightclub.
Sources told Page Six the next day that Foxx and his girlfriend of six years, Katie Holmes, had split, with an insider telling us that Holmes had said, “What Jamie does is his business.”
Now we’re told that Foxx has moved Vave into his Thousand Oaks, Calif., mansion.
But after we reached out to his reps for comment, Foxx posted a video on Instagram Stories (now also on Vave’s main feed) addressing their living arrangement.
Foxx seemed to confirm that she was in residence, but insisted he is just helping to launch her music career.
“When I met Ed Sheeran, I didn’t know him from Adam,” Foxx said. “He slept on my couch for six weeks. Nick Cannon was 13 years old, he used to sleep at my old house … everybody come to my crib.”
Foxx says of Vave, “I did the same thing with her … We took her under our wing … We wanted to treat her the same way and give her the opportunity.” He called speculation about a romance with Vave a “double standard.”
“I spoke to that girl’s mom and she put her trust in me,” Foxx went on.
“We don’t ever cross lines like that, personal. I wanted to let you know, for all who were scandal chasing, that’s our artist, that’s our family … We are working.”
Foxx, 51, also points out that Vave is “as young” as his daughter Corinne, who is 25. Some reports list Vave as 21, while sources tell us she is just 19.
Meanwhile, Vave says she’s been called a “whore, slut, homewrecker, thot, gold digger,” but that “it doesn’t matter to me — I’m out here to work and do what I love most.”
Reps for Foxx didn’t get back to us.
