Julia Fox reveals reason why she's been celibate for over 2 years
Julia Fox has revealed that she's been celibate for over two years.
The Uncut Gems star, 34, famously dated Kanye West for just six weeks in 2022.
The romance came amid a messy row between the musician and Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from him the year prior.
West and Fox met on New Year’s Eve in Miami, US, and were later pictured together attending the Tony Award-nominated Slave Play on Broadway.

However, in an interview with the New York Times, she claims that the relationship was non-sexual.
Fox was asked about why the 'one boyfriend [she doesn’t] describe sex with is Kanye' in her memoir.
She replied: “Because there, like, wasn’t any. It wasn’t really about that.”
Now, the model has taken to TikTok to reveal that she hasn't actually had sex in two years.
She candidly opened up about her celibacy when responding to some billboard pictures shared by the dating app Bumble, which read: “A vow of celibacy is not the answer.”
“2.5 years of celibacy and never been better tbh,” she wrote in the comments section on Saturday (11 May).
Replying to the comment, one user said: "Same! Truly have never been happy and more peaceful in body mind and spirit. It’s wild how men destroy our peace."
"Eight yrs [celibate], no drama, no hate, I’m finally loving every second of my life," a second added.
"Whaaa so many of you have done this. I want to know more!! I’ve always felt like it benefits men more than women until this comment section," wrote a third.
As for why Fox has sworn off sex, she explained her reasoning in a 2023 interview with Elle.
She said: "I want to be left alone. Like, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t bother me."
She previously said on TikTok in 2022: "I'm at a place where I'm like, 'F*** it. I don't give a f***.'
"Also I, like, have a kid already so it's like I did what I was supposed to do by society standards, my vagine is retired.
"The doors are closed, shut, sealed after what she went through."
This comes after a number of celebrities are being open about their celibacy journey, as rapper Craig David recently explained why he has introduced it into his life.
The 43-year-old said he has been able to avoid a lot of 'drama' in the past two years by not having sex, and that, in general, it's been 'good vibes'.
Despite enjoying himself in his 20s and 30s, the singer insists that being celibate has been 'really good' for him.
"It has been really good for me because man, the studio music, the creativity, it's like, no drama just vibes!" he told TMZ.
"I know to the date, It's been two years now for me [without sex].
"But in a funny way, much as I was like 'Wow!' to myself for the moment, [my] creativity has been on a 100, on a max, for those two years."
Speaking to Louis Theroux on his podcast, David explained how one-night stands can be dangerous in 'many' different ways.
The '7 Days' singer said: "I realised that me not having healed my own issues meant I was never in a position to be open to someone else.
"So I realised I had to pull back from all of this and this has been the past couple of years really.
"Which does mean not outwardly going on dates, the sexual interactions are going to have to stop now, just cut that off."
