Since the end of Kimye last January, it’s been hard to keep up with Kanye West’s love life. The rapper (now known officially as Ye) has been spotted spending time at bars, restaurants and basketball games with the singer Audri Nix, the model Vinetria, Bradley Cooper's ex Irina Shayk and most recently his rumoured girlfriend Julia Fox.

West and Fox have both recently been through breakups, reportedly bonded over their heartbreaks and have ‘helped each other recover immensely,’ according to Page Six{ =nofollow}. But if you need some context on who Julia Fox is - here’s everything you need to know.

What is Julia Fox known for?

Fox has had a classically modern multi-hyphen career. She became well-known as a model and also produced two photography books called Symptomatic of a Relationship Gone Sour and PTSD before hosting an art show titled RIP Julia Fox.

She landed her first acting role in the Safdie Brother’s 2019 Netflix thriller Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler and later went on to direct and produce her own film Fantasy Girls.

Next, Fox wants to direct her own Netflix film or series and told Paper of her script attempts: ‘The people that have read them think they’re really good. So hopefully, once I get an agent, I’ll encounter someone that believes in me in that way. That’s the dream: to have a TV show on Netflix or something.”

In the coming months, Fox is due to start filming an adaptation of Carrie White’s best-selling memoir Upper Cut: Highlights Of My Hollywood Life. The hair stylist, played by Fox, had a glamorous life styling the hair of Elizabeth Taylor and Elvis but battled addiction throughout her career.

When did Kanye and Julia Fox allegedly start dating?

West and Fox were first rumoured to be a couple when TMZ shared photos of them together at a restaurant in Miami, Florida, in December. Originally, the relationship was claimed to be ‘nothing serious’ with West ‘embracing single life’.

However, West and Fox seemingly confirmed they were an official couple in January after they were seen leaving a performance of the show Slave Play in New York together. According to People{ =nofollow}, they chatted with friends outside the theatre before heading to dinner in Greenwhich Village.

West was ‘excited’ to have Fox there, according to a source, who added: ‘Julia stayed for the whole after talk. She was very supportive and hung out and seemed very happy to be with him.’

Did Julia Fox have a husband?

Fox married the private pilot Peter Artemiev in 2018 and has a rocky relationship with her ex-husband. She has accused him of abandoning their 11-month-old son Valentino and labelled him a ‘dead beat’ dad in a collection of Instagram posts.

‘I just don't want my son f***ed up cuz he feels like his dad was absent or loved alcohol and partying more than him,’ she wrote. ‘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!!!’

After Fox shared the post, Artemiev told Page Six{ =nofollow}: ‘I was saddened to learn of the utterly false statements made on social media by Julia Fox, my co-parent, who is clearly struggling.’

What does Kim Kardashian think of Kanye dating?

While Kanye has been enjoying theatre trips with Fox, his ex Kim has been characteristically unbothered and is happily on holiday with her now boyfriend Pete Davidson in the Bahamas. Weirdly, Fox actually did a Barbie-inspired photoshoot with Davidson for Paper magazine in 2019. It’s clearly a small world when you run in the same showbiz circles.
