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.

How Kanye West and Julia Fox’s Romance Began

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.

“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.”

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.
On the other hand, Kanye not only ditched the theme but went the complete opposite in a black stadium jacket, a 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.
