His energy is so fun to be around,” Julia wrote in an article for Interview magazine at the time. “He had me and my friends laughing, dancing, and smiling all night. We decided to keep the energy going and fly back to New York City to see Slave Play. Ye’s flight landed at six and the play was at seven and he was there ON TIME. I was impressed. After the play we chose to do dinner at Carbone which is one of my favorite restaurants. Obviously.”

She continued, “At the restaurant, Ye directed an entire photo shoot for me while people dined! The whole restaurant loved it and cheered us on while it was happening. After dinner Ye had a surprise for me. I mean, I’m still in shock. Ye had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment. I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time. But I was so surprised. Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date! Everything with us has been so organic. I don’t know where things are headed but if this is any indication of the future I’m loving the ride.”

Why not see me for what I am which is a #1 hustler. I came up yall lol and not only that but Kanye and I are on good terms!

So…why did Why did Kanye West and Julia Fox break up? Well, a source told People on February 11, 2022, that “distance” was an issue in their relationship. “Kanye and Julia both have separate busy lives. Julia lives in New York City and Kanye has been in Los Angeles. The distance makes it hard,” the insider said. “They are still in touch and will see each other when they can. Kanye really likes her. It’s fair to say that they have cooled off a bit, though.” However, a source told Hollywood Life on February 14, 2022, that Julia ended her relationship with Kanye after his recent Instagram posts about Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, in which he called his ex-wife’s boyfriend a “dickhead.”
“Julia has had enough drama in past relationships, and the last thing she needs is more. Julia really likes Kanye, but when he acts out like this with these public outbursts, it’s hard for her not to feel some type of way. She doesn’t want drama with any relationship, be that Kanye or anybody else she dates,” the insider said.
The source continued, “She knows there’s been stuff in the press about Kanye’s rants or whatever, but she wanted to get to know Kanye for himself. Not for what everybody reads in the papers. She was smitten and who wouldn’t be? He made her feel totally special and like a princess in every way. But if he’s reverting back to his old ways, she wants none of it and wants to disassociate herself from him when he’s like that.”
Kanye and Julia’s split came after he slammed Pete in an Instagram post and claimed the comedian dated Hilary Clinton. “LOOK AT THIS D–KHEAD,” Kanye captioned a since-deleted photo of Pete and Kim on his Instagram. “I WONDER IF INSTAGRAM GONNA SHUT DOWN MY PAGE FOR DISSING HILARY CLINTON’S EX BOYFRIEND.” In another Instagram post from Super Bowl weekend, Kanye accused Pete of trying to “destroy” his family and claimed that he has “faith” he and Kim will be “back together” again.
A source told Page Six in February 2022 that Julia—who split from her husband Peter Artemiev (with whom she shares son Valentino) in 2020—”understands” Kanye’s divorce drama with Kim. “Julia’s been in the same predicament, so she understands that divorces are messy and when kids are involved it makes it almost impossible,” the insider said. “She just wants them to resolve their issues.”
