Julia Fox opened up on Drew Barrymore's talk show earlier this week about her short—and apparently exhausting—relationship with Ye.
The 33-year-old actor said she quickly realized their relationship would not last. The rapper, 46, is a subject of frank discussion in the her new biography, Down the Drain. Fox and West met in Miami on New Year's Eve 2022, and dated for a month before breaking up on Valentine's Day 2022.
Fox found West to be needy and to need "a full-time person." She said he called often and needed to talk a lot, interrupting her time with her son from a former marriage.
“I had my son [Valentino] and then he’d wanna talk on the phone a lot, like, I’d have to change diapers so I bought a pair of AirPods so I could keep it in while I was doing mom stuff. It was just — it was so overwhelming and so unsustainable.”
Eventually, Fox decided to draw a line.
"My son has to be first. It just became too much. I didn’t sign up to have two babies. I couldn’t do it. It felt like two babies."
People latched onto the comment about taking care of two babies.

Others pointed out that Ye seems a bit tiring, in general.

The general sentiment was a resounding "congratulations" for leaving an unenviable dating situation.
