“This man was an educator of kids in the inner city and he taught me everything I know,” Fox said, as he started to get emotional.

“I couldn’t visit him in jail because I saw him as a king,” he continued. “But I wrote to him to say, ‘Things have gotten good for me and when you get out I will save your life,’ and he has been living with me for 20 years now.”

Then Foxx went on to share that he would always send his mother a ticket to come and visit him and “about 12 years ago, she took me up on the offer and she came for Christmas.”

He continued: “New Year’s came and went, then her birthday in January and then all of a sudden it was February and she hadn’t left.”

Even though his parents split more than 25 years ago, according toUs Weekly, their living arrangement has worked out just fine.

“They live under the same roof and what’s crazy is that he still dates, and my mother will go to his side of the house to check things out!” Foxx joked. “It’s a weirdly fun household.”

03of 16Peter WeberPeter Weber/InstagramThe Bachelor’s Pilot Pete still lives at home, but after his mother explained why on theBachelor Party podcastwith Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin, fans will understand that his decision makes a lot of sense.“First of all, we are a very, very close family. Very close… We’re basically one,” Pete’s mom Barbara began. “We support each other in every which way, and we’re each other’s best friends, not just parents. We’re everything to each other.“She contined: “People forget: I’m Cuban, OK… In old time Cuba, the kids would be at home and in their 20s they would get married, and they would still live at home. They would have children, and the grandparents…it was one big happy family. Everybody living at home, so contrary to what a lot of people say like, can’t wait to get rid of the kids…our culture is a little bit different, and not that one is right and one is wrong, we want to keep that family tie, that unity together.“On top of that, Barbara explained that Pete’s job as a pilot keeps him away for days at a time so financially, it wouldn’t make much sense to pay rent for his own place when he can save his money.“He can buy a house tomorrow if he wanted it,” she said. “Responsibly, he can do it, but I’m just looking for the right place for him when we do decide that he’s going to take that step…but we’re very happy living at home, everybody together.”
