13 things to know about Kanye West’s ‘new girlfriend’, Julia Fox: a former dominatrix and Playboy model who starred in Uncut Gems, and once created paintings using her own blood
- The actress and artist met Ye on New Year’s Eve, then wrote an open letter about their dates for Interview magazine – which was accompanied by PDA-filled photos
- Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Iggy Azalea have worn her fashion line, she posted in Playboy’s last nude issue ... and once created paintings using her own blood
So what do we know about Fox and her life, career and artistic pursuits?
1. She was born in Italy but raised in New York
In an interview with Highsnobiety, Fox spoke about her upbringing and said her dad is “like a mad scientist recluse”. Though Fox said he’s “not really around” currently, she was raised primarily by him.
“I pretty much grew up with him,” she said. “Single dad. Poor guy. My mum stayed in Italy. And I have two younger brothers. One is close in age to me, and the other one is 15. The 15-year-old lives in Italy with my mum, but the older one grew up with me in New York.”
2. She doesn’t discuss her age
Fox is reportedly in her late 20s (or maybe by now early 30s), but doesn’t discuss her actual age.
When Insider profiled Fox in 2020, her specific age was a notably mysterious detail.
“The late twenty-something (her team won’t confirm her actual age, which only just adds to her mystique) has done more already than many will ever do in a lifetime,” the publication wrote.
