Julia Fox Says She Has Regret Over Kanye West Relationship

Julia Fox is opening up about her past relationships — and one in particular.

The actress, author and fashion icon related frankly about her ex, famed rapper Kanye West, in a new interview.

Speaking to The Sunday Times for an article posted Saturday October 12, Fox said that, regarding her past with West, “I regret that relationship so much.”

“I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime,” she added. “I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”

The 34-year-old released a memoir in 2023 titled Down The Drain, where she referred to West as “The Artist.”

The Uncut Gems star explained that her son, 3-year-old Valentino Fox, kept her grounded through such a tumultuous time.

“I really credit my son for being my grounding force,” she noted. “It was like, I can’t go down this spiral because no man, no matter how rich or famous, is worth one minute away from my child.”

In reflecting on the relationship, she also admitted that she felt she’d been used by West for media attention.

“It wasn’t my idea for it to go public. If anything, I was like, ‘We should wait,’ and then boom, it was done behind my back. I realized pretty quickly I was being used as a pawn.”

Fox recently made headlines for clarifying that she is indeed not pregnant after a misleading Instagram post.

“Oops,” Fox, 34, captioned an Instagram Story post on September 17. In the snap, the model is wearing a white crop top with what appears to be a baby bump on full display. After fans assumed she was pregnant, Fox was quick to shut down any rumors.

“Omg its for a movie!!” Fox captioned a second post. “THE BELLY IS NOT REAL!!!”

While it’s unclear exactly what forthcoming movie role Fox is working on at the moment ­— she has five films on the horizon — only one features a pregnant woman. Last month, Variety announced that Fox would star in the LGBTQ+ romance Perfect.

Fox was cast alongside Ashley Moore and Micaela Wittman as a “wealthy pregnant woman who is living out an escapist fantasy as she falls in love with a younger woman,” the publication reported. “Their sudden relationship is complicated by an upcoming birth, turbulent social events and clashing values about the world’s uncertain future.”

Fox is also set to appear in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming thriller Presence, which is set to hit theaters early next year.
