Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox has recently made headlines for her high-profile relationship with rapper Kanye West. The couple's romance fizzled out extraordinarily quickly: no sooner had Fox confirmed their new relationship during an article she wrote for Interview, than things were over between them. The split became known to the public in February, and despite Julia's assertion that she only dated Kanye to "give people something to talk about" - it seems that she had quickly become invested in Ye, and was disappointed that things ended so quickly after a promising start which had seen the Donda rapper wining, dining, and romancing her.
Kanye had entered the relationship still reeling from his divorce from wife Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children, and his increasingly erratic behavior has been concerning for fans. Whether Fox got involved for genuine reasons, or just wanted a bit of attention, remains to be seen, but her name is now filling news sites everywhere. In light of her sudden rise to A-list status, let's take a look at just who Julia Fox is.
6 Who Is Julia Fox?
Born in Milan, Italy, 32-year-old Julia has lived an extraordinary life. She is something of a polymath, displaying talents in numerous fields. She has worked in service jobs, as a fashion designer, artist, photographer, writer, model, director, and, of course, actress.
Her first big break came three years ago with the movie Uncut Gems, where she played a sales assistant who is also girlfriend to Adam Sandler's character. Her role garnered her great acclaim and attention.
She shares a one-year-old son with her former husband Peter Artemiev, who is a pilot. Fox has reportedly called him a "dead beat dad" and wrote on Instagram - further chastising him - "This man left me with a 5 month old and a dog and a home and ALL THE BILLS. It’s wrong!!! It’s not fair.”
5 Julia Fox Claimed To Be Unphased By Kanye's Lingering Feelings For Ex Kim Kardashian
Whilst briefly Kanye's girlfriend, Julia made it clear that she was not concerned by his evident lingering feelings for his ex wife, Kim Kardashian.
"I'm sure there's still some residual feelings, and that's normal, it's human," Fox said. "I also know that he's with me now. And that's all that matters," she added.
"I call him my boyfriend and he calls me his girlfriend," she said.
4 Julia Fox Was Also Unbothered By Claims She Looks Similar To Kim Kardashian
Neither was she upset by implications that Kanye sought her out for her similar looks to Kardashian, or that they dress alike.
"We’ve worn some of the similar looks, which I knew at the time of wearing them, I knew that Kim had worn it previously," Fox said. "But I thought it was cool that she had worn it."
"It is unfortunate because women are always being pitted against each other and obviously there’s 10 years of history that they have prior, and I don’t want to ever like step out of line and speak on something that I have no place speaking on," she continued.
3 Julia Fox Has Been Very Open About Her Relationship With The Rapper
Fox has spoken openly about her brief romance with Stronger singer Kanye, penning a piece about it for Interview magazine. Writing frankly, she said:
'I met Ye in Miami on New Year’s Eve and it was an instant connection. His energy is so fun to be around. He had me and my friends laughing, dancing, and smiling all night. We decided to keep the energy going and fly back to New York City to see Slave Play. Ye’s flight landed at six and the play was at seven and he was there ON TIME. I was impressed. After the play we chose to do dinner at Carbone which is one of my favorite restaurants. Obviously.'
2 Things Weren't To Be, However
It seems that their romance was not long for this world, however. On 14th February (wow, talk about timing), Julia's publicist announced that Julye (does that work?!) were no more. "Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together," the rep said.
1 Julia Fox Has An Astounding Net Worth
Though she's certainly not in the same financial league as billionaire Kanye, Julia Fox is by no means poor. The versatile actress has a significant net worth to her name, with $30 million reportedly sitting in her bank account, according to Distractify. Julia's net worth has been generated by revenue from her now-defunct fashion brand, acting and modeling work, and also from her writing projects. The beauty continues to build upon her wealth each year, making her one of the most wealthy actresses in the world.
