Julia Fox recently opened up about her past relationship with Kanye West and revealed that she regrets her brief romance with the rapper. “I regret that relationship very much,” the actress said in an interview with The Times.
She admitted that she hated the fact that the relationship lasted “only a few weeks”, but for her it became a lifelong affair.
The Uncut James star also noted that she was “probably in the most uncomfortable position” of her life during her relationship with Kanye and added that she “didn’t want to be famous for being someone’s girlfriend.”
Before her latest statement, Julia Fox had hinted at her relationship with Kanye West in her 2023 memoir Down the Drain. Although he did not directly name the Vultures’ creator in the book, Fox reportedly called him “the artist”.
In the memoir, the actress claimed that the “artist” allegedly offered to get her a “boob job”, attempted to force stylists to wear outfits he didn’t approve of, and asked her to sign an NDA.
At the time, Fox credited her young son Valentino, whom she shares with ex-husband Peter Artemiev, as being her “grounding force”. The actress also said that she decided not to pursue this relationship further because no rich or famous person is worth even a single minute that she spends apart from her child.
Kanye West and Julia Fox first sparked romance rumors in 2021 after they were spotted spending New Year’s Eve together, according to US Weekly. Fox opened up about her relationship with the rapper while speaking with Interview magazine in January 2022.
Fox said she felt an “instant connection” with the Gold Digger hitmaker and revealed she enjoyed being around her energy. She and Fox’s first public appearance was in January 2022. The two walked the red carpet at the Kenzo show during Paris Fashion Week.
The actress appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast in February 2022 and confirmed her relationship with Ye. “It just happened and it felt very organic and not crazy or anything,” he said at the time.
Unfortunately, that same month a rep confirmed to US Weekly that the pair had split after less than two months of dating. The source also said that Fox and Kanye were “good friends and collaborators” despite no longer being together.
