Julia Fox and Ye attend the Kenzo Fall/Winter 2022/2023 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 23, 2022 in Paris.
Victor Boyko/GI For KenzoGiving a name to their love. On Monday (Jan. 24), Julia Fox took to social media to label her relationship with Ye with a couple-y name.
“Juliye,” she captioned a photo of the pair with a single black heart emoji. In the snap, she and the artist formerly known as Kanye West wear complementary leather looks by Schiaparelli. While the Uncut Gems actress is in a structural leather jacket, matching black leggings and giant earrings with heavy black eye makeup, the rapper’s face is obscured by one of his favorite Donda-era full face masks.
Even before revealing the portmanteau, Fox insisted on her podcast Forbidden Fruits that she’s not dating Kim Kardashian’s estranged husband for fame, clout, money or attention.
The lovebirds are currently in Paris, after the superstar whisked his new girlfriend away on a whirlwind weekend trip filled with designer fittings, shows at Paris Men’s Fashion Week and even their official red-carpet debut as a couple ahead of the KENZO runway presentation.
Meanwhile, Ye was recently announced as a headliner for Coachella’s upcoming 2022 return after two years of the Indio, Calif.-based festival being canceled due to COVID-19. The complete lineup also includes Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, Phoebe Bridgers and the return of Swedish House Mafia to the Empire Polo Grounds for the first time since 2012.
West’s hotly anticipated three-part documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy also premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday night, but not before the rapper demanded final approval of edits ahead of its Netflix debut on Feb. 16.

Not for the first time, Moby is speaking out against Donald Trump’s administration with clear frustration.
“The U.S. is collapsing under a deeply corrupt and shockingly ineffective administration,” the longtime electronic musician shared on social media. “These are unbelievably dark times.”
Moby went deeper into his thoughts through a video message, where he explained that people outside the United States keep asking Americans what is actually happening in the country.
“So many of my friends outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is happening over there?’ And honestly, we don’t even know,” he said. “The country is being controlled by one of the most corrupt, dangerous and incompetent administrations imaginable. Nobody fully understands what’s happening right now. These are very dark times in America.”
Moby joins a growing list of artists publicly criticizing Trump and MAGA politics, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem and Billie Eilish.
Earlier this year, Moby uploaded another statement to social media where he addressed how people should respond following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. “The real question isn’t whether people should feel horrified or outraged by what’s happening in the United States,” Moby explained in the Jan. 26 clip. “The question is what are we actually going to do about it?”
The musician and activist also encouraged people to protest, saying demonstrations are a constitutional right and something he believes Trump’s administration is attempting to weaken.
In the end, he urged people to vote regularly, “not only during the upcoming midterms, even though those matter, but also in every special election throughout the year.” He also encouraged supporters to “stop giving money to the scumbag corporations backing Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”
His newest remarks arrive as the U.S. Justice Department unveils a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down following military action launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February without approval from Congress, leading to rising gas prices across the globe.
Throughout his independent music career, Moby has earned 10 entries on the Billboard 200 along with two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and an enormous catalog of sync placements. Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, he is viewed as one of the defining artists of his era. He scored two No. 1 albums there with Play from 1999 and 18 from 2002, alongside 18 top 40 singles and two nominations for Best International Male at the BRIT Awards.
