Model and actress Julia Fox has revealed a shocking detail from one of her past relationships, admitting she once spent $68,000 on an ex-boyfriend’s credit card during a manic shopping spree.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, the 35-year-old Uncut Gems star opened up about her impulsive spending habits while dating one of her former partners. “I used my man’s credit card in a mania,” Fox confessed. “Spent $68,000 in a night and bought hundreds of Chanel, YSL, Pucci, Mugler, Christian Lacroix, Alexander McQueen, and Versace pieces.”
The actress said the shopping spree didn’t have a happy ending. After the relationship ended, she was forced to sell the designer goods she had bought. Fox did not name which ex the card belonged to, but RadarOnline has suggested it may have been Kanye West, whom she dated briefly in early 2022 following his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Fox has only had two publicly known relationships: her marriage to pilot Peter Artemiev, the father of her son, from 2018 to 2020, and her short-lived romance with West. During their time together, Fox and West often made headlines for their high-fashion appearances and whirlwind romance.
In an earlier interview with Interview magazine, Fox recalled that West surprised her with an extravagant gift after just one date. “After dinner, he had an entire hotel suite full of clothes waiting for me,” she said. “It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment.”
Fox said she was stunned by the rapper’s lavish gesture. “I don’t know how he did it or how he got all of it there in time,” she added. “But I was so surprised.” She also described the early days of their relationship as “organic” and said she was “loving the ride.”
However, Fox later shared that their relationship took a controlling turn. In her memoir Down the Drain, she alleged that West tried to dictate her wardrobe choices. “He appoints a team to work on my wardrobe,” she wrote, comparing the experience to how West reportedly helped style Kim Kardashian when they first began dating.

Fox claimed West even enlisted two of her close friends, Tammy and Liana, to act as her stylists. But according to her, the arrangement strained their friendship. “They stopped consulting me about what I wanted to wear and started talking to him instead,” she said.
Though their relationship ended quickly, Fox’s candid revelations continue to offer a glimpse into the chaotic and glamorous world she briefly shared with one of music’s most controversial figures.
