“Kimye” era was the peak of the “It” and “power” couple vibe. The two business moguls made a name on their own accord; Kanye West ruled the hip-hop and fashion industry while Kim Kardashian built her own beauty empire.
The tabloid’s favorite couple painted the town red, making their elite presence felt. Together with their three children, Kim and Kanye were once considered an aspirational couple, inspiring people to choose a partner who can elevate them to their higher self.
However, this facade soon revealed itself as more cracks resurfaced in their marriage. The “Gold Digger” rapper displayed questionable behavior in public, often humiliating the family. Even then, the Kardashian star remained by his side. But West’s spiraling mental health and his denial led to a family breaking apart.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from West after he insulted and low-key bullied her while his legion of fans character-assassinated the socialite. Kim went on to date SNL star Pete Davidson. And within no time, Kanye was rumored to be dating someone.
Julia Fox, the “Uncut Gems” actress, made a public appearance with the star rapper Kanye West, spinning the rumor mills about their alleged relationship in early 2022, but the two broke up in February 2022 after less than two months of dating.
A year after their breakup, Fox exposed the alleged relationship as being “weaponized” by West during his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Fox’s tell-all book, Down the Drain, reveals the nitty-gritty of their relationship.
