In January 2022, Hollywood’s newest It couple wasn’t Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. It wasn’t Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, either. It was Kardashian’s ex, Kanye West, and his new lover, Julia Fox, whom he dated for several weeks in early 2022.

Kanye West is one of the wealthiest and most famous men on the planet. He’s best known for his work as a rapper, but he’s also made a name for himself as a fashion designer.

West was famously married to Kim Kardashian for many years, and the two share four children.

How Kanye West and Julia Fox’s Romance Began

Kanye West and Julia Fox met at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami, Florida. Soon after the new year began, the two were rumored to be dating.

Fox confirmed the two are together in an article she wrote for Interview magazine. “Juliye,” she wrote on her Instagram Story for the couple name she had created for them. Perhaps not surprisingly, Julia has been accused of dating Kanye for his money.

“It’s funny cause I’m getting all of this attention, but I really couldn’t care,” she said during an episode of her podcast Forbidden Fruits.

“People are like ‘Oh, you’re only in it for the fame, you’re in it for the clout, you’re in it for the money.’ Honey, I’ve dated billionaires my entire adult life, let’s keep it real.”

As mentioned, the two were photographed at Paris Fashion Week. West, a fashion fan and prominent sartorialist, had scored front-row seats to some of the biggest shows, including Kenzo and Schiaparelli.

West and Fox stepped out in matching denim outfits made by Schiaparelli. West paired his outfit with black boots resembling galoshes and black sunglasses, while Fox stunned in distinct black eye makeup, chunky earrings, and slicked-back hair.

Kim Kardashian’s Thoughts on Kanye’s New Relationship with Julia Fox

According to unconfirmed reports, Skims founder Kim Kardashian was somewhat happy that Julia Fox is a fan of the Kardashian clan. “She appreciates that Julia admires her and her family — and would much rather prefer that over someone who is a hater,” a source told Page Six.

“I’m gonna miss Keeping Up,” Julia Fox said on her ‘Forbidden Fruits’ podcast with co-host Niki Takesh. The reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians (often abbreviated KUWTK) concluded on June 20, 2021.

“I have been watching keeping up since it first came out in 2007 when, like, watching it was embarrassing. I wanted them to be my family. You feel like you know them. ”

“It’s like you are happy for them when something good happens to them,” she added.

Julia Fox was very open about her relationship with Kanye West. She wrote about it and discussed it on a podcast, noting that she had dated other billionaires and wasn’t with West for his money. Despite her claims, many remained skeptical.

In February 2022, Kanye West and Julia Fox officially ended their relationship after several weeks of dating. Her representatives confirmed the breakup, stating that although they remain good friends and collaborators, they are no longer together.

Before their public appearances became dominated by their evolving relationship and individual ventures, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West shared many iconic fashion moments. One such occasion was their 2015 Easter celebration, where the couple showed off their signature styles during an all-white family gathering. After the festivities, the pair was spotted at LAX, and their fashion choices continued to make headlines.

Kim and Kanye’s Coordinated Style: A Look Back at Their 2015 Easter Celebration

After celebrating Easter in April 2015 with their extended family at what looked like an all-white party, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were seen catching a flight out of town at LAX.

Kim retained the all-white look and wore a white tank, white ripped jeans, a beige trench coat, and tonal Balenciaga elastic-strap d’Orsay pumps.

Meanwhile, Kanye completely ignored the theme, opting for a black stadium jacket, black t-shirt, and faded black jeans. The only thing breaking up the all-black was the sand-colored “Yeezy 750 Boost” sneakers, Kanye’s sneaker design that he collaborated on with Adidas.

Kim was also spotted wearing the Adidas x Kanye West Yeezy 750 Boost sneakers, so the husband and wife took turns wearing them.

Not only that, but it seemed the two also swapped moods that day; expressionless Kim was bordering glum, while usually surly Kanye was uncharacteristically smiley at the paparazzi.
