Kanye West dating actress Julia Fox

Kanye West seems to have decided that, as he sang on his 2021 album DONDA, "single life ain't so bad."

Page Six reported Monday that the 44-year-old Grammy-winning rapper has made things official with actress Julia Fox.

After their first dinner date in Miami on Saturday night, Fox told a paparazzo she wasn't sure there would be a second date, but the two had dinner again Sunday night. Clearly the second date went well.

Fox — a 31-year-old socialite, artist, clothing designer, and former dominatrix and Playboy model — made her acting debut as the mistress of Adam Sandler's sleazy jewel peddler in the 2019 film Uncut Gems.

She also hosts the subscribers-only podcast Forbidden Fruits. In the first episode, she and co-host Niki Takesh interview an NYPD police officer who was also a former client of Fox in her dominatrix days. According to AV Club, the episode ends with the two hosts choking and whipping the man (consensually, of course) while ordering him to say "Black Lives Matter."

Fox married pilot Peter Artemiev in 2018, and in February 2021, Fox gave birth to their son, Valentino. Both she and West are separated from their respective spouses but still legally married. Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021.

"We're not even divorced … My kids want they parents to stay together. I want us to be together," West said of Kardashian in November.

Last month, West purchased a $4.5 million house across the street from Kardashian to have easier access to their four kids. According to The New York Post, West — who legally changed his name to "Ye" in October — plans to level the 3,600-square-foot home and build a much larger one in its place.
