Julia Fox: It’s an ‘honor to be in the presence’ of ‘genius’ Kanye West
Julia Fox heaped praise on her “genius” new boyfriend, Kanye West, while raving about their relationship on her podcast Wednesday.
“He’s really a f–king genius, and it’s an honor to be in the presence [of him] and to be able to witness history happening,” Fox, 31, said on Thursday’s episode of “Forbidden Fruits.”
The actress described watching West, 44, record in the studio with Future as a “really cool” experience, adding that the rappers’ songs are “f–king insane.”
Fox also gushed over her beau’s ability to keep up with her own quick personality.
“It’s very inspirational. Our minds, we both, like, work very fast. We keep up with each other, which is cool,” she said. “Like, I talk very fast and I can have 10 trains of thought and, like, whatever.”
The “Uncut Gems” star went on to say how inspired she is by West.
“What’s really exciting about him is, like, any idea can become a reality. Like, anything is possible, any dream is possible, and I love that, and he’s just such a doer. He’s like, ‘Let’s do it now. Don’t wait,'” she said.
And Fox isn’t the only one excited about her new romance: She shared that her and West’s mutual friends have texted her saying the couple make “so much sense” together.
“I’m just living my f–king life,” she added.
That said, Fox and West aren’t in a rush to put a label on their budding relationship.
“For right now, I’m just living in the moment and I don’t have any expectations,” she explained. “There’s no labels, none of that. It’s just people that make each other feel better. It’s really such a Gemini-Aquarius connection.”
The former dominatrix even took a moment to clarify reports that she is a superfan of West’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
“I’m not like a die-hard, [standing] in line in the cold or, like, a store opening,” she said, adding, “I don’t even own one Lip Kit [by Kylie Jenner].”
As for why she thinks the public is so captivated by her love life, Fox said it could be because she’s “not the obvious choice” for West and “came out of left field.”
Fox and the Grammy winner met on New Year’s Eve and quickly fell for each other, with West treating her to an entire hotel suite’s worth of clothing for their date night in New York City.
She opened up about her their whirlwind romance in a Interview Magazine profile earlier this month, saying, “It was an instant connection.”
Fox also described their date as “every girl’s dream come true” and said 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 … Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date!” she said. “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.”
Fox recently broke up with the father of her child, pilot Peter Artemiev, claiming on Instagram in December that “this man left me with a 5-month-old and a dog and a home and ALL THE BILLS.”
However, she clarified on her podcast that they are actually on good terms again and that Artemiev has been paying her rent without her even knowing.
Meanwhile, West, now legally known as Ye, dated models Irina Shayk and Vinetria after Kardashian filed to divorce him in February 2021. The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, who shares four children with West, has since moved on with “Saturday Night Live” star Pete Davidson.
